Baby Lotions and Potions

Monday, May 5

Poor S - After being born with baby acne from 1 month of age she has had very rough and dry patches of skin on her cheeks - aka baby eczema. After the acne cleared I thought maybe it was the cold winter weather in MI drying out her skin; surprisingly all her skin conditions have never bothered her.

In my attempt to find a solution to this problem, I tried and used numerous lotions, potions and some nasty over the counter hydrocortizone cream. I even changed her diet, eliminated all cereals, veggies, meats for 4 days at a time then reintroduced them again, in the hope that this was indeed the problem. After the elimination period some improvement showed but not enough to make me believe we had found a cure. Well that was until a week or so ago.....

My rosy cheeked S!!

With mummy joy I can now report I think its cured - yeah! I found this cheap and cheerful tube of cream for baby eczema and its healing, no more rough patches of skin - so I call it my "baby miracle cream." I highly recommend it, at only $6 - its a bargain and only a tad is needed not even the size of a pea, half a pea!!

Sydney is such a cutie! I love her little plump rosey cheeks. I bet they're fun to kiss. Glad you found a solution to the eczema.

Often children's skincare products can contain unnecessary ingredients such as colors or fragrance. But also look out for harsh preservatives, like parabens, which can trigger an eczema flare-up.

I found a really useful site that lets you compare the ingredients of several leading brands, its from a company called exederm

They make ultra hypoallergenic skin care products for kids with eczema or dermatitis
