Apparently lemnis fatty cream is not sold anymore, although I overheard the pharmacist saying they were hoping they'd get it back.

Good point about the nuts cuppatea, something else to watch out for!

His tummy is looking much better with the calendula lotion

my little girl has eczema too and I have tried just about everything under the sun!

I am now using a product called 'DermaVeen', both the wash (for her scalp) and the mositurising lotion, and it has worked a treat! Her eczema has pretty much cleared up (all the nasty looking patches anyway) and her crusty cradle cap has disappeared. DermaVeen doesn't contain any fragrance, parabens or lanolin. I just bought it at a pharmacy (not all have it tho), the pharmacist recommended it.

I have also cut back on eggs, milk and cheese (cos I am breastfeeding) so that might also have made a difference.

good luck and hope you find something that works for you

I learnt something today!

1/4 cup in a bath, obviously not a baby bath. 1/2 cup if it's a big bath, twice a week will help if not stop itching.

Oh Bleach LMAO........not janola but plain old bleach. I will find out exactly what one this mum used.

Oh & Sarah it definitely worked & she said it was such a small amount in comparison to the bath water & she said that it stopped the itching.

i have a friend who's lil girl used to scratch non stop until it bled & she always poured over a bucket of water that had i think three caps of bleach in it. that helped dis infect the sores & keep the itching at bay. she would do it straight after the shower then PAT dry the skin.
