Hey guys

Well.. I took Tallon to the clinic on Tuesday, he weighed in at 6.8kg clothed, length 63cm (i think). He's cruising just under the 50th percentile. Very average bub. hehe.

His dry skin has got really bad the nurse said it looks like eczema but of course she's not allowed to diagnose. hehe. A friend of mine had a look tonight and reckons its definitely eczema, she has it herself. She works in a pharmacy and is going to pick up some stuff for me to try tomorrow. Poor little man. It's like it's snowing all over his body. hehe. I'm not sure that it's irritating him, thank goodness.. but his skin is just flaking off! eww! I can't get good nudie photos of him with his skin like this! I've been trying Gaia Natural Baby Soothing lotion.. supposedly good for ezcema prone skin.. but just looked at the ingredients and it has sweet orange essential oils in it.. a known irritant to problem skin! duh! Anyway, we'll try this stuff from the chemists, and DH is looking up recipes for creams he can make. I hope he grows out of it.. coz it's all over him at the moment!
