any other October babies diagnosed with eczema?

Question

Baby was just diagnosed with eczema.  She has a rash on her belly and chest and dry cheeks...anyone else? Tips?

Answer

My husband and i both have it, his is more severe than mine but ultimatlwy our son has it too. Emu oil baths is what i find most helpful, but its hard to find coconut oil works too! A tsp in the bath and let them soak and play in it after they have been cleaned. If you would prefer another method i also use this lotion, my son sometimes get irritable from the oils.

Answer

Yes! Our little girl had it everywhere at the end of December/start of January but we have had it under control since a visit to her paediatrician. My advice is slightly different from others (under paeds advice) but hopefully you find what works for you!
We were told to bathe every night and moisturize immediately after. Hydrocortisone 3x daily on flare ups. The moisturizer we use is la Roche posay lipikar balme. Also, cool mist humidifier running constantly in her room. Only cotton clothes, and we all use "nellies all natural laundry soap". It has no scent or any additives. 
Good luck!!!

Answer

My son has it on his cheeks and a little on his legs back and belly. Our pediatrician told us to use scent/dye free aveeno lotion and put aquaphor over top and it has worked WONDERS.

Answer

It on and off for him. But I use Aveeno Baby eczema cream. It works so good for him. I put it on every 2hr or when ever his face is dry. The doctor also gave me hydrocodone but told me not to put it on too much on his face because he could change his skin tone so I'm afraid to use it as much so I just use the Aveeno

Answer

Yes and extremely severe :(!! Here's how we get through flares ...
Baths only twice or three times a week and never multiple days in a row
Soap free wash - like shea moisture or the honest company
No scent ultra sensitive detergent for the whole family
Super sensitive body lotion and body wash for the whole family (think about their face resting on your arm while feeding)
Eucerin baby ezcEma creme on body ( I've bought so many cremes and this ALWAYS works)
Triple Cream (bye bye baby, babies r us) on face 
Hydrocortisone during flares once in the morning once at night but remember to wipe them will warm water BEFORE next application otherwise you're just putting it on top of cremes
Regular Creme on the flare spots at every diaper change 
Always keep nails short to prevent scratching!

Answer

Yes. My son gets has some on his forehead. I have eczema myself too. Keep the areas your baby gets it moisturized even when it's looking cleared up. Because just when you think it's gone it'll pop back up again. Baby aveeno eczema products seem to be working well for my son as of right now. 1% hydrocortisone cream twice a day for a week or two at a time will help it clear. I usually use it on my son twice daily for a week and give his skin a week or so break from it if it hasn't cleared up. Usually a week or so it'll clear up though with it. Eczema is a pain in the butt to deal with. But as long as it's keeping moisturized and baby doesn't itch at it'll be easier to deal with
