Non steriod perscriptions suppress the immune system and make it look like the rash is gone. Your dc may come down w/ prolonged flulike symptoms/ear infections/lung related congestion. The DR will say it is typical for the age, but you might feel it's worse. From personal exp. I don't recommend. Our 2 allergy prone kids started at 4 weeks. We put mittens or large shirts on to prevent scratching. I don't like eucerin because my son developed secondary infections (anaerobic). I do like JASON brand lotion. It has the same protective treatment with glycerine base instead of petroleum. Talk with the DR about when you could start using benadryl for sleep. I breast fed both, but started feeling like my diet caused the eczema, and switched to hypoallergenic formula before 12mo w/ my 2nd. It was $45 per small can, smelled awful, and made no improvement. Secondary infections Staph/ Strep can be treated w/ antibiotics. GL finding a doc who will give RX. I think milk and soy are to blame. My dd is showing allergy to corn now at 17mo. I use a lot of "bad" fat in their diet. After 2 kids I believe monounsaturated (nut, olive, avacado, unsaturated, fish) oils are very problematic. For a child who is UNDERWEIGHT saturated fats are the most easily absorbed. Maybe if I had it to do over I would avoid the good oils and see if the breast milk was less problematic for my dc. Remember fish and nuts are the 2 worst food allergens. My kids are not allergic to fish phew! Enriched rice dream is ok after 1st year. GL [ Reply | More

[ - ] How worried would you be in my situation? A man I just got engaged to after a year of dating has a history as a heavy drinker and drug user- he is a musician. When we first met he had been sober for three years and told me he would "never drink a drop of alcohol again"- his sobriety was a major aspect of his presentation. He told me he got "hotheaded" and "emotionally" abusive" when he drank and that he made bad decisions about sexuality- ie cheating on girlfriends and casual sex with near-strangers. It was of passionate importance to him never to drink again. Last night, at just about the only party he's been to without me since we got together, he drank a "few sips" of tequila- he told me when he got home. This has really freaked me out mainly because it is so odd, so out of character for him, so in violation of his stated principles. I used to drink a bit socially but have stopped since we started dating in solidarity with him. my friends have warmed me that his "wild past" might resurface. what do you guys think? 4 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More
