Super Dry Skin in 6 Month Old

My son has such dry skin. The last couple of days I have put on coconut oil and Eucerin lotion a few times a day and he just soaks it up. He is breastfed and drinks enough, so I don't think he is dehydrated. My mom was saying it could be something like a thyroid problem causing it, due to the fact that he still wakes up 3-4 times a night. He does not sleep through the night, and he may be uncomfortable. Has anyone experienced this before or have any suggestions? I plan on calling the pediatrian on Monday, but until then....Thank you!!

Rash on 6 Month Old's Bottom

Our six month old has a rash on her bottom. We noticed a small couple of spots so started putting on A&D Ointment and change her every couple hours, whether really wet or not...(more frequently if needed...) and everyday the rash has gotten worse.

Since then, I have only given her cereal, formula and baby food that she is used to. Do you think she could be...

I have a 13 month old son who has had lots of problems with asthma. The first time he was hospitalized for it he was only 7 weeks old and it has been an on going battle ever since.

I feel like everytime we are in...

Seeking Advice on My 3 Yr. Old Daughter

I noticed tonite after bath that my 3 yr old dtr has redness around her vagina and anus. I put triple paste on it to hopefully soothe it, but is this something I should be extremely worried about? She was unable to give me any clear information about it.

Severe Diaper Rash Help

My 10 month old was on antibiotics which we completed 9 days ago and she still has diareah (forgive the spelling) but worse off she has what seems to be an incurable sever case of diaper rash. She is raw and sometimes slightly bleeding when I clean here. I have used Desitin, Triple Paste, Powder, Nystatin prescribed by her doctor, and fresh Aloe. The Aloe calms it down somewhat but can't seem to kick it. Any suggestions of anything that has worked for you? Thanks
