Eczema

Watching your little one suffer with skin reactions, or anything you can’t control, is truly infuriating and stressful. It’s a constant battle, and it’s heartbreaking to see them so uncomfortable.

We’re in the thick of it with Evan, trying a number of things and keeping tabs on what products we’ve used, when, and for how long.

The frustrating part is that what works for one baby often doesn’t work for another. Tubby Todd, for example, came highly recommended by several mommy friends, and it worked wonders for their little ones. For Evan, though, it hasn’t made a noticeable difference.

A small voice inside keeps telling me it’s allergy-related, which is something I desperately hoped to avoid. But at this point, we have to consider all possibilities. Every day feels incredibly long, watching him itch at his legs and body at every opportunity. It’s a constant reminder of how uncomfortable he is.

We’re going to continue our investigation and keep you updated on what we learn. If you have any tips or experiences with baby eczema, please share them with me. We’re all in this together.
