Our Baby (almost 8 months old) has been battling terrible ezcema for 4 months now. He scratches his arms, legs, and face till he bleeds. We tried hydro-cortisone, benadryl, every cream you can buy at CVS...nothing worked. Finally, the 7th doctor has solved almost everything. This doctor ROCKS!!! The treatment is super simple, and effective. Our baby needs to soak in a warm (not hot) bath for 15 to 20 minutes with 2 tsp of baking soda, rinse well, then immediately after the bath we coat him in vaseline. Amazingly it's working. He also had a skin test and he's severely allergic to eggs, milk, soy, nuts, oats and fish. The good news is that I can eat wheat! but pretty much nothing else since I'm still nursing him. He can't have any formula since every type has either milk or soy in it...even the ones for allergic babies. Please pass this info on to anyone who has a baby with eczema...I know how heartbreaking it is to see the little ones so itchy.
