Question

i have started rice cereal and i am nursing her? rice cereal can cause this?

Answer 1

a lot of things contribute to eczema - dairy products being one of them. from my personal experience castor oil applied directly to the skin helps as well as homeopathic treatment. Cartozone creams were not good at ALL!

Answer 2

Small Wonder Creamy Baby Oil will clear up both of these conditions. Creamy Baby Oil is more like a cream than an oil. It provides the same benefits and protection, but it's faster absorbing and less greasy. It's pH balanced and dermatologist tested for delicate skin, and contains soothing vitamin E and allantoin to help prevent dryness and irritation.

Here's what one mother said - "Since 1 month old, Andy suffered from crade cap and eczema. I tried all the baby products, olive oil and prescription meds to no avail. When I heard about Small Wonder Creamy Baby Oil I was skeptical but figured that I had nothing to lose. I gave Andy his bath, rubbed him down and put him to sleep. The next day he looked great. I realized his skin was healed - no more red or scaly blotches. By the next day, the cradle cap was gone."

Hope this is helpful and feel free to contact me with questions or the website.

When my little boy had cradle cap. My Dr told me to use Neutrogena T-Gel..Its a shampoo..Just scrub it gently with a little baby brush and it should clear up. As far as the Eczema, are you sure thats what it is? I would definately seek a Dr. opinion. They can prescribe some cream or tell you what to use. Good Luck.

Try feeding her only organic rice cereal and put some olive or canola oil and brush gently to help with the cradle cap. He the baby has cradle cap in the diaper area,I don't know this may work. Try giving the baby a oatmeal bath(my sister said they did this to her granddaughter). I haven't tried this myself, but it probably works. Use 100% cornstarch(the kind for baking) in the diaper area and buy diapers that don't have perfumes in them(Pampers and Luvs have perfumes and other things in them).

Answer 5

at first it sounded like hand foot and mouth disease. Typical rash will appear on the feet, hands and the diaper region... and some blisters can form as well. Also you get sores in the mouth. A low grade fever is possible, usually a loss of appetite for solids is present. The rash can spread. Sometimes with Hand, Foot and Mouth disease, not all symptoms are present. You can not really do anything but keep baby comfortable and well hydrated. It could be exzema...

My 14mth has eczema,since birth.Ive never heard of cereal causing this.His skin is so sensitive that if anything touches him he breaks out bad.Use a plain soap,cvs brand works well.It works better if you put it on baby when he is dry.Use it like a lotion.This is the only thing that helps cxlear my sons eczema.Also use Eucerin lotion over top or w/out anything else.Use hypoallergenic wipes & anything else hypo that u can find.My doctor gave me prescription hydrocortizone for the bad spots.Don't use anything on babies face.It will clear on its own.And try to keep anything from touching & irritating skin.Use vaseline,a&d,or Boudreaux's butt paste for diaper area.Anything else will make it worse.

Answer 7

For the CradleCap, put baby oil in baby's hair and let in soak in and then use a very fine tooth comb and gently comb out the crusty cradle cap. Wash baby's hair and that should solve that problem. Ask your doctor about the other things.

Answer 8

Make sure you wash the babies head every day as that is where babies sweat from,you can buy a cradle cap cream that will help lift it.Sudocrem is good for the nappy rash, even canestan.

Answer 9

What about the Dr. Have you taken the child to a Dr. to get professional help and suggestions... Those things can torment a child and should be addressed immediately.
