oh god. totally failing!!! 9mo has always had dry skin & prone to rashes etc. i had been using myown double base on her as i thought it was harmless. apparently i shouldn't have been doing this :-(
after the little patch of eczema on her chest & around her neck didn't go i went to drs. nurse gave us oilatum & e45. one or both caused a massive flare up all over her tummy/chest/neck/back so stopped using.
went back to using very little doublebase, improved a bit but not much & flare up didn't appear to be as bad but still very much there. should have gone back to drs but i returned to work after mat leave & lack of sleep led to irresponsible decision of "it'll be ok".
used a fair old whack of doublebase lastnight & another massive flare up so inmy sleep deprived & desperate state i used a little betnovate on her this morning which of course has had instant results but i know i shouldn't have done this and i'm really worrying about it.
so now i'm trying to get something lanolin free to put on her - is there any thing i can buy today (as opposed to Internet purchase!) that anyone can recommend for babies? ??
feeling awful.
