Aquaphor & Mylanta for Diaper Rash????

I read in either Parents or Babytalk that you can use a mixture of Eucerin Aquaphor and Mylanta on diaper rash and that it works great. Has anyone ever tried this? I'm about at my wits end with a never ending diaper rash on my daughter. It will go away for a day or two and then comes right back.

Help with Eczema and an Allergist for My One Year Old in the Tampa Area

My little girl (15 months) has eczema all over her back, chest and tummy. It first appeared when she was on antibiotics, getting worse with each course of antibiotics that she took for chronic ear infections. (has recently had tubes in her ears, so hoping antibiotics will now be out of the picture) The eczema flares if she eats even the smallest amount of dairy and or eggs. I'm unable to get rid of the current flare up to be sure if there are any other triggers for her eczema. By the end of the day or if we spend any time out in this humid...

Diaper Rash with Cloth Diapers

I've been using cloth diapers for several months with no problems. I recently switched to seventh generation laundry detergent and I believe that my kids are allergic (they both broke out in hives after I switched). At the same time as the hives, my son also got a terrible diaper rash. I was using Ecos laundry detergent and everything was fine. I stopped using Seventh generation and switched back to Ecos. I washed all the diapers in Ecos with an extra rinse and in the meantime used disposable and the rash went away. A few days with cloth...

Excema = Allergy?

Does Excema ALWAYS mean there is an allergy? My son is 6 months old and has had bad excema since about 2 months. Under my ped's advice, I use Cortisone and Aquaphor, but it's still there. It is getting a little better but nonetheless, it's still there. I don't know if it could be a milk allergy, or dust allergy. Could he develop asthma because of this? I question my ped all the time and he just says "Awww don't worry about it. If he's eating, sleeping, and playing, then he's fine." But as a Mom I am concerned. Help Mamasource! :)

Peanut Allergy - PART 2

I forgot to mention, my daughter is only 4 months old. We don't use water/powder formulas, only ready feed. I use demotologist lotions and everything is dye free/scent free from her soaps to laundry detergents. It's deeper than that. Aquaphor works, but the dermotologist medicines work too. I just feel like we go through a tube a week b/c her egzema is that bad. I want to switch her to a more gentle formula, but I'm not sure if a peanut allergy will make a difference since most formulas are for milk allergies. I need to help her....

Aquaphor, Eczema and Bum Genius Diapers

My son has severe eczema on his entire body and sometimes we are applying Aquaphor 3 times (or more) a day. I was told by Bum Genius reps that this cream would affect the absorbency of my Bum Genius diapers. I have been using Pampers but really want to cloth diaper. My son does not have a reaction to the diapers. It is more the issue of the diapers having a reaction to the creams I am using on his skin. Any suggestions? 1. Has anyone used Bum Genius AND used Aquaphor type creams and been successful in continuing to use the...

Wondering If Son Is Allergic:(

My son is 15 months old and since he was born I have been going back and forth between Huggies diapers and Pampers. Really what ever is on sale and if neither I would buy Huggies. Well my problem is about 2 1/2 months ago he started to scratch his upper butt. At times it is really bad that it will bleed. It looks horrible again. Over the last months it seems to get better and then come back. Well right now it is really really bad. I was thinking about it and for the last 3 weeks it has just been huggies I have been using and is seems...
