I have eczema myself and I have done everything I can to make sure DS doesn't get it, so far it's working! Firstly when I was pregnant and in the 1st couple of months breastfeeding I took eczema shield a probiotic you can get at a health food store or pharmacy. If you take it your bub will get it through your breast milk. Personally moogoo is no good for my eczema it just doesn't moisturise deep enough. maybe try some zinc and casteroil cream, this is also what we use on ds's bottom every night and it has kept nappy rash away too. Aveno body wash is all we have used on ds since he was a few weeks old and we also wash his hair with it rather than buying the separate shampoo. If the eczema is really bay you can try a wet dressing. Smother the area with cream and I do mean lots of cream than apply a wet/damp bandage with a dry one on top and then dress bub as usual. I often need to do this with my hand as they get cracked sometimes if I have been cleaning or eaten a food I've reacted to. Leave the wet dressing on for a few hours and then when you take it off smother it with moisturiser again. As for food in the diet all the nightshades are generally not very friendly for eczema nor are citrus.
