help?please?

Talking of wipes, Lauren is allergic to them. I use cloth wipes with water and only use wet wipes when out and about as they are easier.

I would just keep an eye on it, but sometimes Laurens exzema can look like raised blisters especially if shes scratched it a bit.

Hydrocortizone is a normal exzema prescription. As I say its just not for prolonged use. I use it very occasionally on Laurens bad patches, otherwise I went to the Homeopathic shop and got a natural exzema remedy that I use a couple of times a day and generally it stops it in its tracks and its definately ok for babies skin!

Interestingly Lauren s trigger is apple. I cannot eat an apple anywhere near her, her exzema becomes so red and aggressive, and I dare not give her any apple or she gets really bad!

L's exzema is very patchy, mostly on her torso. No I am not on a special diet, I am just avoiding apples!

She is fine on pears and bananas so thats all I give her fruit wise.

Cloth wipes are just as easy as cloth naps. I use both cloth naps and cloth wipes, only disposables when we go out and at night cause I can't be bothered with her wetting through the bed.

We use aqueous cream twice a day and Alpha Keri Oil in her bath water.

On speaking to the naturopath today she seems to think she might be allergic to pectin that is in apples and is a preservative in most food. Her other trigger is stress, if she gets uptight about something, wham she has it all over her torso.

I had exzema as a baby, so no surprise that she has it too. I grew out of it by 3 years old.

As for cloth wipes, I just got some cheap baby cloths from Farmers and they work a treat.

Yeah the pectin can affect reflux babies quite badly as well.

Kerri-anne i bought some cheap face cloths from baby factory and use those as wipes except when out then I use babywipes.

fair enough.. :)

its hard to explain..his excema has raised red pathces but its patchy the allergic reaction is more like measles or hives..

Tiff yep just Alpha Keri Oil in the bath water, and its available from the chemist!

Yep cuppatea its called Pintarsol and absolutely stinks!!
