Has anyone else also experienced this?!?
My little one is looking so poorly, he broke out with eczema all over his face about 10 days ago and is now spreading across to behind his ears, neck, scalp...
Worse still the areas around his face, forehead and ears are now infected as he has been scratching (despite mitts I've put on)
Am really annoyed as I consulted the health visitor twice about this, also took him to the GP, and the midwives, but none of them said I needed to worry and ignored all my concern. I took him to A&E yesterday as I was convinced it wasn't alright. When eventually seen, the paediatrician gave anti-biotic cream, but suggested maybe putting him on steroid today/tomorrow Has anybody been through this with their little ones?
DD is completely breast fed, I'm now also worried that the infection may somehow affect milk ducts and my breast feeding, can this be possible? I've never had mastitis or thrush or anything like that before so don't know what to watch out for. Just know that I am getting stinging sensations around my boobs. It can just be psychological and coincidence! But obviously I don't want to stop breast feeding him, shall I be cautious and perhaps think about anti-biotics for myself as well so that I can continue to feed?
Any help/advice would be much appreciated!!
