Hello, I have almost 10 month old son, he have bed eczema at least from 6 weeks old.
I am living in UK ( my child born in UK ), but originally I coming from different country. Gp has given prescriptions for my son a lot creams, bath oils, even steroids - nothing helps ( steroids was helping while using them, any bath oils - was making worse, some creams wasn't so bad for moisturizing.
So about 4 weeks ago I went to my country with my son meet my parents, and as well was going visit allergist and pediatrian. There I got checked quick test ( skrach on sckin ) allergic for some foods and another blood test - as well for foods.
Results wasn't nice - he have low level allergic to wheat, middium - peanuts and diary, high - eggs white, and really high level - yolk.
So, cause I am breast feeding him I stopped eating all this food + I cream him with just base moisturizer which was given by my allergist. Its all helps just wonderful - his sckin was so smooth and he wasn't anymore itching, like before.
But after 3 weeks I come back to UK - and in the first day when we wash him in bath - his skin got worse - now we are less then week here and he itching so beddly all legs are red and scratched 🙁
I read about its can be because water is to hard, in my country those 3 weeks we was washing him every day - just with clean water, probably at least at my parents home we have soft water, that why he was fine.
I was reading about baking soda in bath as the water softener - is anyone try that for baby? Or maybe any others suggestions - how to make hard water soft? What do you use for your baby in hard water bath?
Thank you
