Baby Has Dry Skin? Eczema?

I have a 5 1/2 month old son. About a week ago I noticed a small rash-like area on his tummy. Since then it has spread to his shoulders and back. It's patchy and rough. I don't know if it's just dry skin? I usually bathe him everyday, so I don't know if it's just too much bathing. Or if it's from the COLD weather. I live in North Idaho and it's been quite cold lately. He's only outside on the weekends, so I'm not sure if the cold weather would be causing it. What is baby eczema? Does that sound like what he has? I would...

Excema and Poor Sleep Habits

Hello fellow mamas! I am going a little bit crazy with sleep deprivation. My daughter has excema and wakes up very frequently scratching herself, at least every 2 hours throught the night, if not more. She really resists sleeping at all, the only way I can get her to sleep, or back to sleep is nursing. I am committed to many of the ideals of attachment parenting, feeding on demand and co-sleeping among them. BUT, i am getting more and more tired and resentful. Because of the itching situation and because we have a small space, 1 br, i feel...

My 6 Yr Old's Eczema Is Awful!

We use Aquaphor, hydra-cortisone cream as well as cream prescribed by her doctor - but her eczema is so persistent! We use 'free' detergent, no fabric softener, and she showers instead of taking a bath, so the shampoo and soaps (also FREE) do not sit on her skin. We've had her tested for allergies - nothing. Dermatologist is next! Any advice? And now that the warmer months are coming, any sunscreen recommendations? Thanks!

Seeking Advice Re: 7-Month Old Who Scratches

I've been loyally reading everyone's postings everyday and finally have one I need your help with. Our 7-month old delicious girl is generally very easy - great eater, decent sleeper, pleasant temperament, smiley, giggly, etc. However, she has this "habit" that's very frustrating and we fear that it's harmful for her. When she's tired or fussy -- although she sometimes does it when she seems to be neither -- she scratches herself. She started with her cheeks, I'm guessing b/c that's all she could reach. Lately, it's right hand on the...
