Baby's eczema

Typo * forgotten* should read often. Blooming predictive text !

With regard to oats ( as some people have already mentioned )
Get an old pop sock fill it with traditional oats and knot it . Put it in the babies bath and swill about ( it would be better if done hot, then cooled before baby) goes in, if baby is happy for long baths, let them in there for an good while. If you Google it, forgotten recommend.

My granddaughter had exzema and I bought some Childs Farm body wash to put in the bath and moisturiser. It did clear it up but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as you describe your granddaughter. Maybe worth a try.

Another vote for the Child’s Farm range here. My niece’s eczema was greatly improved, and my friend’s disappeared completely.

Final post about the baby’s skin, most of you saw he was a hot mess last month with the eczema he’d had since birth.... nothing we were prescribed worked, even hydrocortisone cream didn’t touch it.
Tried dairy free formula, Dermol, Nizarol, Aveeno, Oilatum.... nothing made a difference. He didn’t sleep for 4 months because he scratched non stop all night. After a shout out we were recommended Dream Cream by Lush and gave it a go; it’s transformed his skin and he’s now completely and utterly eczema free. For anyone else having a hard time, it’s done the job for us ?

Eczema

My 2 grandsons had the same problem but have now grown out of it their doctor gave them cream and bath lotion my daughter found e45 was really good for bath and cream and still has it in just incase she sees any signs of a flare up hope this helps

I've seen a post on FB (not an advert) regarding a Lush product. Photos showed it cleared babies exzema up wit in a few weeks

Would your daughter consider consulting a homeopath? It can be very effective, very quick and doesn't use nasty chemicals.

Check out chuckling goat website it’s getting great reviews

My eldest grandson developed eczema when daughter stopped breast feeding him Doctor gave cream but nothing helped. I said change to soy milk fomula. Eczema cleared up

Effective treatment will vary for each person. A lot find Aloe Vera taken and applied very useful

Dream Cream from lush has a bit of a cult following with mums of kids with eczema. It is made with oats I think

If Mum is bottle feeding, there is a product called Nutramigen. It helps with milk intolerance enormously although it tastes absolutely disgusting. Very often babies who are milk protein intolerant are soya intolerant too so Wysoy doesn't help. If she is breastfeeding, you can cut dairy and soya out of your diet but ensure that she gets her calcium from somewhere.
We are a family who have babies who suffer these intolerances and once they are addressed, we have much happier babies. The only people who have continued to suffer with Eczema and digestive problems within the family are the ones who weren't diagnosed as babies as their parents were dismissed as "fussy, anxious" new Mums.
The first time my cousin's babies were diagnosed as being intolerant to her breast milk, I scoffed at the thought. Then I had my own babies and found mine were the same. Now my daughter's babies are carrying on the tradition and my research shows it is more common than people realise.

My son had terrible eczema during his first year (he is now 39) The doctor and baby clinic tried everything, but we found that simple petroleum jelly was the best. The only problem was not letting him slide through our hands when we picked him up!
It eventually cleared up, but he does occasionally get patches on his scalp.
I hope that the poor baby soon improves. There is nothing worse than seeing a little child suffering.

Zinc cream with nothing else in it and check you aren’t using bio washing powder babies are often allergic to that.

As a baby my grandson had eczema and diarrhoea. His doctor mentioned that it could be reaction to cows milk. All the symptoms stopped at once. His parents gave him tried cows products a couple of years later and he was fine. He has a beautiful skin now.
I would ask my doctor if you could try that just in case.
I hope it can be sorted out soon

E45 has lanoline in it, which a lot of people can't tolerate. 2 of my children had quite bad eczema and we avoided eggs totally and I was extremely careful about what washing powder I used - can't remember what else I did! Mine moreorless grew out of it, and most of my gc are Ok thank goodness. It does go, but its horrible for everyone when its bad. Sympathies and good luck finding the right remedy.

Child Farm cream is fabulous. As is Cera-Ve (the blue one) Cera-Ve is definitely cheaper on Amazon, next day delivery if you're a prime member.
I wouldn't personally advocate Aveeno as its tested on animals.
I use both creams on my granddaughter, the Cera-Ve works best. Its oil free aswell.

When I say foods, it could be what mum is taking also!

Many babies have eczema, I understand only 1 in 10 take it padt the age of 5yrs (my doctor told me this).
However in the meantime she could try kinesiology. This is not an invasive proceedure and provides an insight as to what food/materials could be exacerbating the situation.
I hope it goes well ??

cheekychops my granddaughter now a beautiful 16 had a clear skin until 24 hours after her baby injections and she became covered in eczema (the doctor said it can be cause by this but rare) Every cream the doctor gave her made it worse until her little face and body was red raw She was hospitalised at one point Anyway over time my daughter found an ingredient that was in all the creams ( I ve forgotten which) and eventually found something without it in and she’s been fine since BUT is still prone to some allergies fir instance she used a face pack which made her swell and itch and a sun cream she has to have one particular (expensive) cream
Now whether she was born prone to this or it was set off we ll probably never know

My son reacted to cow's milk protein through my breast feeding at 4 months, tho' not with eczema, and was put on a soya formula until a year old. He now drinks milk with no problem. Cows milk can be a problem even if not taken directly.

OP hasn't described symptoms that would suggest that Hetty58, she describes typical infantile eczema.

GrannyLaine, she is not too young for allergy testing. Cow's milk protein allergy is dangerous so the sooner it's diagnosed, the better!
