Sacha, it is funny how they seem to think that the baby crying is their fault, even when they haven't done anything wrong. I just have to reassure Byron that it is OK for bubby to cry.
We had to use cortisone cream on Byron to get his eczema under control. We had been to Cairns we he was about 8 weeks and he got heat rash so I had been putting curash on that. Dried the heat rash out nicely but caused his eczema to flare up beautifully. We didn't know he had it until then. He hasn't had it bad enough to require cortisone again as we just smother him in moisturiser when we see signs of it appearing. There is also some little tubes of cream made by ego that you can get at the chemist for dry skin conditions that work quite well. They don't smell great but they are preferable to cortisone.

Cass, Chipmunks sounds great. We have another week before school holidays, don't we? I should probably know that, but school goes far from my mind when I don't have to be there everyday.

Nell, what sort of teacher are you? lol at editing your post for terrible spelling, that is the sort of thing I do.
