Hello, I've been bf'ing my ds for 6 months now, and have had real trouble with my skin since he was born - I get eczema on my breasts, hands an inner arms (I have never had eczema before and MY GOD it itches!!!! It makes feeding hell as my boobs are all cracked and sore and rank (sorry if this is OTT) and only steriod creams sorted it out - which are strong and I want to stop taking them asap. My Q is - has anyone else got eczema since their babies were born, and how did you get rid of it - I never see this in the baby magazines, but my best friend who also has a young baby also has eczema, but on her legs, so it cant be that unusual a side effect of giving birth.
Anyhow, it is driving me nuts, so can anyone help?
