Re: Desperate Mom of 8 month old baby w/ Eczema

I would also watch out for all the synthetic chemicals and fragrances in which you bathe your baby, as well in which you wash your baby clothes. When I was little my mom would give me starch baths. Also I discovered not to ever be to cold or to warm. You may also want to check into what kind of clothing you buy, I know there are organic cotton clothes out there. Is any of your baby clothes thight around wrists and elbows. Thight clothes keep sweat on the skin. One more thing, the nursery: did you put a new wallpaper? Is the nursery smelling from all new toys and new stuff? Did you cleaned your carpet lately? Do you use strong perfume yourself? For me fragrance was always the biggest thing, even from hypoalergenic things. Besides Dry Borage Skin therapy you may also try baby series from Aubrey Organics or Burts Bees. I recommend exploring your local food store. Tweet
