We fought the eczema by washing her face with chamomile tea and applying the panthenol cream several times a day, also our pediatrician introduced a mild corticosteroid when it became severe. I wasn't at all comfortable with it, but without it the eczema wouldn't go away.
We also followed a strict and careful diet plan, such as introduction of solids as late as the sixth month and testing each type of food for 7 days...Periodically it completely vanishes, but then reappears. We have found some solutions for it and I wrote about them on my blog , but am hopeful someone has some other suggestions which would help us avoid corticosteroids.
Best of luck, everyone!View Thread

We are thinking about traveling to the sea side in July, when my baby girl turns 11 months. I wonder if it is a good idea, since we are discussing a vacation in Greece, which ia a very hot (and beautiful
country.I am worried about her reaction to the sea water and hot weather, although we would be taking her to the beach only early in the morning and late afternoons.
Or, maybe, a vacation on the mountain is a better idea for this summer?
Thank you all!!!View Thread

However, I' not just here to weep, but to pass on my friend's experience who breastfed her baby boy until he was almost two. She told me that the first whole night of sleep she got was when she stopped breastfeeding him...it seems that the two are connected...I do not want to, under any circumstances, advise to stop breastfeeding, but rather to let you know that when your baby is old enough and changes it's eating habits, you'll probably compensate sleeping!
All the best!View Thread
