You girls are so brave wanting to have more kids. I am so happy with just the one. I know that I can confidently say that I can look after my husband well if I only have one child to take care of. If I had more I would be afraid that I may neglect my husband and DH is very affectionate and would not handle the lack of attention. As it is we are probably on DTD once a week now. Just because I am so tired by the time he comes home and we have put them baby to bed and had dinner and a sit down. We used to do it more in the morning but because we wake up at different times and sleep is so precious that has gone out the window. I worry though that he may not be satisfied. So I will try and make more effort.
On another note I am so worried about this rash on JD, its very dry and little sores seem to be appearing. It looks like excma (sp?). I can imagine it would be quiet painful or uncomfortable. I have changed his bath soap tonight and will see how hat goes. I also rub sorbaline (sp?) on him to try and sooth the dryness. This is probably the reason he is struggling to fall asleep sometimes. I know I suffer from dry skin and its terrible and can get sore if its not got moisturiser on it. I wonder if I should take him to see a dermotoligist? Has the rash that some of your babies have seem like this also?
Amanda from what you have said it sounds like the usual rash/pimples babies get around 5-7 weeks of age. It generaly goes within a few weeks, but if your worried, get it checked out. It could be more then just that. Jasmine had terrible skin as a baby and still does on her arms and legs....but her face was terrible and always itchy. She has eczema and we use steriod cream on her at night.
Also try Natio cream...thats awesome for dry skin. With bath time, if JD's skin is more then just the age related pimple/dry skin, the best thing to use in the water is nothing.....soaps and additives will make his skin flare up more. Try some rolled oats even...that is pretty good. Else try Moo Goo cream (google it). For us i used to use Dermveen cream in the water, or theres Derm aid powder stuff you buy from the chemist. Its what the cildrens hospital on Melbourne use and recommend. It has no smell at all (ie wont make bub smell all pretty)....but when you first use it, will smell likes oats! HTH a bit
As for your DH...im sure he would tell you if he wasnt being satisifed...well if thats his nature. I know Craig definately lets me know..LOL
