2 Questions: Naps and Bedtime

My son will be 4 months old in 2 days. My first question is about napping. This kid doesn't like to sleep... I have days where he might take a nap and others where he may take a catnap or 2 (like 15 mins. or so) and other days, he won't nap at all. I know he gets tired but he fights it. He doesn't have a routine, plus he likes to be held in order to fall asleep. The minute you put him down, 80% of the time he wakes right up and that's the end of the nap. Sometimes myself or my mom will hold him while he naps, but I can't do that all the...

Skipping the Bedtime Bath Routine

My son has a little spot of eczema on his face so from the advise I have seen out there I shouldn't bath him everyday. Unfortunately he loves his night time routine which includes his relaxing bath. I have stopped using any kind of soap directly on his face, but I can't stop him from splashing, dunking his face, and puting soap bubbles on his face. Anyone have any suggestions on what to substitute with on the non-bath nights? He has been doing so well with going to bed with a regular night routine I am afraid to break the routine, but I...

21 Month Son Has Dry Patches/small Bumps on Skin

My son was born with tiny bumps on the back of his arms (like mommy). Now, his back is so dry and after bath, the skin on his back turns very red. I use johnson & johnson head to toe soap-free wash and use A LOT of lotion to sooth his dry patches on back. The doctor told me it was excema on his arms so we reguarly use cream for that too. He does not scratch or act bothered but the redness after a bath and the dryness concerns me. Any ideas?

Major Sleep Problems with 15 Month Old - Looking for help....any Help.

Where to begin? I have never been good with the sleep thing. My son is 15 months old and for about the first year I nursed/rocked/walked him to sleep. I remember those first few months he would cry and cry until I got up and walked him around. And i remember thinking what a bad habit I was starting but i could not bear to hear him wailing. He's never slept through the night - not even close. Nowadays he is up about 5-8 times a night and I seriously don't know what to do. I nurse him at 7pm and then when I'm done my husband comes...
