Eczema treatment for infant - 5 months old
Can anyone recommend a product or treatment they have used for infantile eczema?
A family member's baby has it quite badly - poor little thing.
The mother actually has always had it herself and for several years said she would not have children because she did not wish them to suffer this condition ( she also has phorisis) but then at 38 she had a baby!
The baby wants to scratch all night and is very strong at removing her mittens and even scratches under swaddling! It is her legs, back of neck and head that she scratches mostly.
She has been entirely breast fed although now has some solids. Does any one know if the breast feeding from a mother who has always had bad eczema herself is actually the wrong thing to do ?
She is only bathed twice a week because the water is so irritating.
Her nails are cut when she is asleep and kept as short as possible.
When they change her nappy - I am told one person has to hold her hands while another does the changing - to stop her scratching. It seems like torture - doesn't it?!
I have not seen the child myself recently and was only told about it on the phone.
They have, of course, been to the doctors about it.
Any advice would be most welcome - I know how clever you all are!
