Buzzie - both my two have eczemabummer huh. We use very plain moisturiser & bath washes. I recommend the ego stuff... QV Bath oil is great (or the bath wash) and QV moisturing cream is great - any pharmacy should have it. I found the sorbolene wasn't enough moisturisy and the johnsons stuff just irritated them. if it's really dry you can get stuff called dermeze which is really greasy and just soaks right in... looks like they've been glazed lol. Also dermaveen is good too. I'd check with your GP/pharmacist before using medicated stuff tho... our paed said we could use a bit of dermaid (1%) on her face if it was really red... but I've rarely had to. First line is always to moisturise, moisturise, moisturise... and especially right after a bath is the best time to moisturise. I was doing it only once a day but I'm up to 3 times a day on Annika now, she seems to be getting dryer & dryer.
Have been reading but flat chat. My DH has vertigo. Has had ongoing issues sporadically for years and it's not a straightforward case/diagnosis but usually he doesn't get it much, maybe 2-3 episodes (few days) per year. But this one has been worse than usual, he's been dizzy on & off for a week nowwhich means this lil' black duck has been very busy. It's such a bummer cos we've got so much social stuff on this weekend (like seriously best social weekend of the entire year!) and he's not well enough to go out... and so I'm going on my own... and trying to watch both kids, feed one & make sure the other doesn't eat foods he's allergic to. Arrrgh such a PITA
On the bright side... Annika is 3 months old omg that's gone so quick. And still BF'ing which is just a massive woo hoo for us. So in love with my gorgeous snuggly kids!
