child skin care

[BTBVEN]

Hi Midhat

Have you tried doublebase cream? It's quite good for sensitive babies. Also, we use products from Organic babies - http://www.organicbabies.com/ Their products are safe for babies prone to eczema, atopic dermatitis etc.

I would suggest not to use disposable diapers, use cloth nappies and soft organic cotton clothes for your daughter. When using disposable diapers, use the biodegrable ones as they are better for skin. Same goes with wipes - try not to use the commercial ones like pampers instead wipe her clean with a soft muslin cloth with warm water.

If you are breastfeeding your daughter, I would also suggest trying an eliminationd diet (your diet that is). It maybe that your daughter has sensitivity/allergy to certain food products that you eat. The biggest allergens include - dairy, egg, fish, soy, wheat (gluten). You may want to try a diet where for 3 days you avoid dairy to see if that makes an improvement to your daughter's skin, then try avoiding the next item until you get to a stage where you can see if your diet makes any difference.

Hope this helps.

Well thank you and yes I have checked by changing my diet and apparently it was fine eggs and dairy products do not cause her problem and I do use cotton clothes for her but yes I might will have to use cloth nappies now. I haven't tried any other creams other than the ones prescribed by our doc and these creams are difficult to find I had to get them delivered to me from another city.
I showed her here to another skin specialist and apparently she took her condition lightly and suggested me that I can use Vaseline to keep her moisturised though my other doc condemned strictly not to use any other kind of creams no powders no perfumes no shampoos or soaps for that matter I can't use any oil for her dryness on her head when I use coconut oil immediately after that her allergy appears so I have to leave it that way but I hope that condition will get better I am doing my best whatever I can

We knows very well that child skin is so sensitive so always care of our child skin. Nowadays, there are so many baby skin care product available in the market. So buy the best one quality of skin care product.

I found out that hard water aggravated my daughter's skin when she was a baby - not sure if that would be a consideration where you are. I had to filter water before using it in her bath until she was about one. Also, any products with perfume are a no no for us. I am allergic to most perfumes, and bath products like radox can aggravate my skin, so when the doctors were saying my daughter had eczema I was not convinced. I stopped using Johnsons baby products (they come highly recommended, but are not good IMO) and noticed immediate difference. I also stopped using  any kind of baby bubble bath for her which helped too, and used Simple bath products or sometimes just water. To cream her skin I use now Eperderm cream or E45 (E45 is better for the face or lesser effected areas). I went through a period of using quality olive oil - or mixing it with the Eperderm and know extra virgin organic coconut oil is good too. At first I had to cream her skin several times a day but soon it settled down. Not using baby wipes helped too. Cotton wool and water were much better. All the best, hope you are able to make a difference in the condition.

Oh, I would not use vaseline as it does not really allow the skin to breathe, it does not absorb well into the skin at all, and you'll end up with a shiny, slippery baby!
