Skin relief


I took Ryder to the doctor on Wednesday after his skin worsened and spread to his stomach. There were a bunch of little bumps all over his legs, arms and stomach. I opted to get it checked just in case it was allergies or heat rash. Ryder is exclusively breastfed, but there is debate about foods the mother eats and how it effects the baby (ie. peanuts, caffeine, dairy, fish, sugars). The doctor confirmed my first diagnosis of eczema. She gave some helpful handouts, creams and told us to try a little hydrocortisone cream diluted with lotion. SO far he is responding well to the Euecerin mixed with cortisone 1%. He weighed in at 13lb's and 12oz.
