Baby Eczema Symptoms
My 3 month baby has really bad skin?
She has eczema and it is driving her nuts. Poor thing is itchy all over and keeps scratching until her skin breaks, weeps gets sore etc.
Tried the olive oil at first, and didn't work. Aqueous cream was applied regularly and that also didn't work. Hydrocortisone worked but it's steriod based and I've been warned not to use it for too long as it thins the skin.
Now the health worker has prescribed oral antibiotics.
I need to figure out the cause rather than keep treating the symptom. Any ideas?
She is breast and formula fed (was Cow and Gate but just changed to Aptimil to see if it makes any difference)
Thanks
Here is a list of do's and don'ts that I hope you will find helpful.
Things not to do:-
Don't use biological powders
Don't use fabric softeners
Don't use soap or detergents to wash with
Don't use standard bath additives
Things to do :-
Try Fairy Snow -the old fashioned powder
Use dryer balls
Use a soap free cleanser to wash hands etc.
Use a moisture bath additive like Aveeno
Use a good moisturiser like Aveeno
Use it very frequently, you can't over-moisturise!
Use antihistamines for itch.
You may need to use steroids creams/ointments for flare up areas. Use the mildest you can, for the shortest time possible. Hydrocortisone is very safe and its potency is so low it does not cause skin thinning.
Sorry if you knew all of that already 
Baby Eczema Treatment-Natural Way To Cure Eczema For Your Baby
You don't need me to tell you how painful it is to see your little baby struggling with Eczema. It's not only a tough time for the little one, but it can be real hard on the parents too, with them often not knowing where to turn or who to go to for help. I have put together some simple tips here, so that if you find yourself in that situation you may actually be able to help the little one!
GET RID OF ECZEMA in 10 Days
Get New Bedding
Just like with an adult Eczema sufferer, the wrong fabrics in any circumstance can really make things worse, but imagine how it would feel if you were a baby and swaddled head to in fabric for most of the day, and yet were unable to tell people how bad it made you feel?
To prevent poor baby having to go through this, there are a few things you can do you. Firstly, make sure all bedding is 100% very soft cotton, and also cleaned regularly.
If it's not cleaned very very regularly, tiny bacteria will build up, and it's these bacteria which will cause the itching in baby's skin. Also, make sure that the detergents used are perfume free-the perfuming agents can wreak havoc with skin, so it's best to avoid them altogether.
Bathe Baby Regularly
This is the most common cure for Eczema in babies. It's been suggested that baby should be bathed at least once per day, twice if at all possible. Obviously the temperature of the water needs to be correct to prevent baby getting a chill. The bathing will help reduce the amount of bacteria and microbes attacking baby's skin, which should in turn reduce the Eczema symptoms.
Keep Baby's skin Moisturized
Most adult Eczema sufferers will tell you that keeping their skin moisturized brings them great relief. Well, then it follows that this is also a good idea for baby right? The problem with Eczema in babies is that Eczema is worsened when the sufferer experiences stress. As the baby doesn't know what the itch is or why it's happening, it is a truly stressful time, which in turn makes the itch worse, which increases the stress, and so on. It's a vicious cycle for your poor little one.
GET RID OF ECZEMA in 10 Days
You can relief much of this stress by moisturizing baby directly after bathing. Supple skin is less prone to itching, and the more moisture content in the skin, the suppler it is. It's best dab baby dry with a very soft towel, and apply a suitable moisturizer directly to the damp skin. This will help lock the moisture from the bath into the skin, increasing the effect.
