Topic: Sleeping and Eczema Posted: 05 December 2006 at 7:44am |
I need some advice please mummies.
Ella has always been a really good sleeper until recently! Over the past few nights shes been waking up crying so i go in and put the dummy in her mouth and turn her music on and she goes back to sleep only to wake an hour later or so doing the same thing. I have no idea why shes doing it could her teeth be sore? Shes not screaming out in hunger coz she just goes back to sleep. Could it be her reflux?
Shes also got some cradle cap on her head so i put baby oil on it last night and washed her later on and shes been itching her head and her ears where her eczema is. What can i put on it to stop it itching for her?

I second the lemnis fatty cream and hydrocortisone. Also, in the bath use aqueous cream instead of soap or bath liquid. It's worth it to have a happy baby

we use the fatty cream/hydrocortisone/aqueous cream combo on jack too. i've found lately though the fatty cream has gritty bits in it, like sand! not so good putting it on skin
was at the chemist the other day and there was another lady there complaining about it and the chemist man said it was the governments fault as they got a cheap product from somewhere to replace what they had been getting before!!!

With the sleep thing Jess, Hannah does that occassionally for a few nights then goes back to normal. I put it down to teeth - if nothing obvious like too cold/hot - so put on a bit of bonjela, dummy back in and she is fine after that. So maybe bonjela if you havent already?

My little girl's excema was triggered when she got too hot. Have you checked she's not overheating in REM?

I have had a nasty rash for about two weeks- gone now thank god, but i was waking up in agaony scratching - and then bleeding. very pleassant. went to the chemist and they gave my the hydorcortisone which helped, but was expensive. i ran out one night and ended up using a vitamin A cream called something starting with U. the rash cleared up the next day!
