My eldest son used to have eczema when he was a baby/toddler.

Some things which can help:

Adding Sea Salt to the water – make sure the baby doesn’t drink any though.

Aveeno Cream in the UK is very good – ask your doctor to prescribe it.

Adding Oatmeal to the bathwater – put some into a muslin bag and tie with string – run it under the bathwater.

Hydrocortisone 1% for flare ups – it won’t cause skin damage or ill effects so don’t be worried about using this.

Rinse her clothes out twice in the washing machine – even so-called ‘mild’ washing powders are full of irritating chemicals. The best one I found was called Ecover – when I started using this his eczema reduced by about 70%! They do a bio and a non-bio – both powder and liquid form.

Wet wrapping technique for severe areas – look up the technique on Google. It’s easy – you do it after bathing each night and leave on overnight.

Oilatum isn’t that much good, but you can carry on using it if you like.

The doctor will try to fob you off with cr@p such as Aqueous cream etc. Most of the stuff they prescribe is just cheap stuff and it won’t do much good. I used to use tons of their stuff and it never did any good at all. The Aveeno cream was good though.

You’ll just have to experiment with different things. Sometimes I’d hit on something really effective, but it would only last for a few months then it would stop working.

They do tend to grow out of it, so try not to worry.
