Baby eczema?

Hi I'm the newly proud father of a little baby girl and I have a concern it seems that she has Eczema. Her skin is always dry and cracked. I hate seeing her like that, it makes me feel like shes in pain. Her doctor said that shes to young to put anything on her skin. but baby oil is o.k. Does anyone know what I can do? she turning 4 months.

It is no fun for a parent, but it sounds like your baby is rather comfortable at this point? That is the most important thing. This problem is becoming more and more common with babies, but remember that most kids grow out of it and babies skin is so resillient. Very rarely is there any scarring at all. The best thing you can do for her is read and research EVERYTHING. Don't rely solely on what the physicians recommend, as they often disagree. Know what you are using on your baby. Look at the ingredients and use wikipedia or another search to identify safety. Petrolium-based products may not be the best option. Every child is different and what works on one doesn't work with the next. Try to stay with pure and natural moisturizers, if possible. We now use organic virgin coconut oil and/or palm oil, after reading that anything placed on the skin has the potential to enter the blood stream. You could keep a log/journal and try different recommended treatments on either side of her body to determine what she tolerates best.

Identifying possible causes or contributing factors will be your greatest tool to help her. We kicked out the animals, washed in hypo-allergenic soap with extra rinse cycle, used cotton clothing, limited food varieties (breastmilk only, if possible), limited exposure to others' perfumes, hairspray, etc. We basically tried to keep her in a bubble.

Our daughter suffered for many months with severe eczema, worsening after each "round" of vaccinations. Specifically, Phenoxyethanol, which is used in many of the common pediatric vaccinations, is a preservative and a toxin with the ability to suppress the immune system and also can cause burns, blisters, dermatitis, and eczema!

Formaldehyde is another toxin which is used in nearly every vaccine. It is carcinogenic and at least one source links it, also, to eczema. Imagine my disbelief after coming across this info... and that is just the beginning. We chose to suspend all immunizations for our child just after 6 months of age. I only wish I had done the research sooner. We are still trying to bring her immune system and skin issues back into balance 4 years later.

I hope your experience is milder than ours. It sounds like her little body is dealing with enough right now without having the extra load on her immune system. You might consider a delay in additional vaccines, at least until her body has had a chance to mature and stabilize. This will give you an opportunity to read more about it. An informed partnership with your physician will be of greatest benefit to your little family. They are so precious. Sympathy and Best Wishes.
