Yes, intense love, and pride. Look what he did!<br /><br />Your day in the cold weather, snuggly and cozy, sounds wonderful. I'm not sure what the rough patches are, but with us, when something doesn't clear up after a week or two, I call the doctor's office.<br /><br />Oh, and as for twins, I think you're right. I've said more than once that the only way I could be any happier is if I had TWO of my boy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223280819287055879.post-65297990179523421392010-11-04T16:35:49.254-04:002010-11-04T16:35:49.254-04:00Maybe ecezema?

They recommend the lowest dose for kids. Just see what's on the shelf and pick the lowest strength.<br /><br />They make some creams now that are hydrocortisone + aloe ... cortisone + moisturizer cream all in one. Eucerine and aquaphor oinments are moisturizers commonly recommended for medical purposes (aquaphor makes a goop that people swear by for serious eczema and other issues). But any baby moisturizer will probably do. J&J makes a handy little moisturizing stick for babies -- looks like those sunscreen sticks for your face.<br /><br />There are oatmeal powders you can add to the bath, but when you have eczema, less bathing is better than more. Bathing only when necessary is easier on the skin, so skip it when you can.<br /><br />When my three year old had some rough patches on his cheeks as a baby, the cortisone + moisturizer did the trick and cleared it up remarkably fast. Arms and legs are a common location for it, especially in winter.Palehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831665114462726477noreply@blogger.com
