Dang! I tthought i was past exczema after dealing with IT for 2 years with Julian. Man it wasn’t easy… i tell you, when your kid can’t sleep at night without mittens in his hands, then as he gets older, that stops working because, he pulls everything off his tiny fingers…then you wake up one morning and you tell yourself. We beat it! His skin is as smooth as it can be. No more rashes, no more itchiness ( which by the way was the hardest) and finally sleeping through the night.

So Eli has had this rash. It is itchy, so we know this road, we have travelled this way a lot… but also he has cradle cap  that  i am having to oil his scalp and  brush it off. Right now it is on the face. So i am giving him a break by staying away from of course anything dairy, soy , wheat and eggs… It sucks yes, but i would rather give that up than seeing my son suffer. This is just as a test, then i will add everything back on my diet, one by one and observe. Though i already know, we can’t do fish or milk.

I used foltabs vitamins with DHA.. that DHA was fish based, he broke out in rash on the back and neck and chest… we know , we can’t have that anymore. Milk.. i had  cream cheese with my bagel, and cake covered with cream based topping.. and yes the rash again.

Yes.. i pay attention to what i eat, i already went through all this with Julian. So i guess, am more aware, i won’t call it smarter… but yeah not bad for a mom.

When you are a mother / parent, you give up the me me me mentality for ‘my baby’ this and that. You bore people with baby talk. co-workers, friends , family and  strangers. The babyism….Hey a piece of advice  though not everyone cares to hear what our babies did, really. LOL but i understand, you can’t help it.

….So far we re using Cerave cleanser on Eli and aquophor ointment. We will see how this works.

I can’t wait till it is gone though… it sucks!
