Re: Cost of After School Clubs/ HolidayCamps

Re: Help! Toddler Eczema

Just echoing a post above, my daughter also sees Dr Helen Cox for her allergies and eczema and I highly recommend her.

Re: Help! Toddler Eczema

I recommended you try an elimination diet, where you take out one common food allergy e.g. milk, wheat, peanuts and eliminate for 3/4 weeks and monitor if the eczema improves. Makes ...

Re: Help! Toddler Eczema

Re: Help! Toddler Eczema

Hi, my child outgrew it by age 4 but I remember how it was and it was heartbreaking sometimes. Fingers crossed yours does as well. I really recommend putting oats in a sock, running a warm bath and allowing the warm water to make a milky oat bath. It's very soothing. Pat skin with a towel. Aveeno h...
