|
19:21:06 |

19:21:15 |
host_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:21:26 |
host_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:21:31 |
mikesgirl64 |
i love how well they cover i have a
bumware cover and its too small |
|
19:22:07 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
did I send you some fleece liners Mandy? |
|
19:22:17 |
mikesgirl64 |
yep we tried every rash cream out there
, burts works decent but only if applied
reliogously |
|
19:22:36 |
mikesgirl64 |
yea those have helped to i always use
fleece on her |
|
19:22:46 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
in diaper area...different
recommendations for eczema than for
other areas.... |
|
19:22:58 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
renew by melaluca.... |
|
19:23:03 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
aquafor... |
|
19:23:19 |
mikesgirl64 |
yea we use te aquaphor now too |
|
19:23:21 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
good, def needs it for that eczema! |
|
19:23:48 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I used elidel for Colton, but only in
non diaper areas...is it in her creases? |
|
19:24:03 |
mikesgirl64 |
yep in armpits too |
|
19:24:07 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
you know about frequent quick baths,
right? |
|
19:24:12 |
mikesgirl64 |
so irritated looking |
|
19:24:23 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, and it'll migrate.... |
|
19:24:26 |
mikesgirl64 |
she only gets one every 3 days?? |
|
19:24:49 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
it'll go anywhere there is a crease and
sometimes get bad enough to not be in
creases...Colton had it over 80% of his
body... |
|
19:24:55 |
mikesgirl64 |
my poor dirty one hah a |
|
19:25:10 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
that's okay... |
|
19:25:35 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
make them quick though, cuz too long in
the tub will reduce hydration, you know
the raisin fingers? don't leave in that
long... |
|
19:25:45 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
but a quick bath will help rehydrate... |
|
19:25:55 |
mikesgirl64 |
ok quick baths well tery it :) |
|
19:26:10 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I once had a pediatrician tell me to
bathe him, then put a WET onsie on him
then cover with a poly sleeper.... |
|
19:26:17 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I wouldn't do it though :) |
|
19:26:34 |
mikesgirl64 |
haha i feel like shed get cold |
|
19:26:43 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yeah... |
|
19:27:03 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
but if you think about why he said,
that, it's to add back in moisture... |
|
19:27:21 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
but it's all treating the symptom.... |
|
19:27:27 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
YOU found out the CAUSE.... |
|
19:27:31 |
TurboClaudia |
my mom used renew by melaleuca on her
eczema and she said it was very
soothing. |
|
19:27:33 |
mikesgirl64 |
we have a big shipment of aios coming
they are actually ai2 with snap in
soakers |
|
19:27:44 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
With colton it was eggs, wheat, dairy
and peanuts... |
|
19:27:44 |
mikesgirl64 |
i got from diaperswappers |
|
19:27:51 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
still can't get him to eat any of those
things! |
|
19:27:59 |
mikesgirl64 |
wow |
|
19:28:08 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
nodding claudia! |
|
19:28:13 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
glad you are still here! |
|
19:28:14 |
TurboClaudia |
just wheat, rebecca? not gluten? |
|
19:28:29 |
mikesgirl64 |
im going to try eliminating the soy it
looks like its going to be tough |
|
19:28:44 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
we just had the more general blood test,
the test wasn't specific enough to
identify gluten, but you are right,
probably was gluten, usually is. |
|
19:29:20 |
TurboClaudia |
yeah, anything processed or boxed or
packaged that says vegetable protein" or
"vegetable protein isolate" is probably
soy, so you may have to do a lot of
whole food eating from scratch and
such." |
|
19:29:27 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
When we were going through ours, I UPPED
my soy (to get rid of dairy) so I'm
really not sure what all soy is in other
than soy milk. |
|
19:29:35 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
oh!!! |
|
19:29:38 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yeah! of corse! |
|
19:29:48 |
mikesgirl64 |
i thought bf was supposed to help w this
- am i still suffering theough sore
nipples for no reason |
|
19:30:14 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
hmm, no tongue tie Mandy? |
|
19:30:17 |
mikesgirl64 |
so stressful |
|
19:30:25 |
TurboClaudia |
it probably is helping! just think
about what your baby could have faced if
you were not breastfeeding! |
|
19:30:33 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
breastfeeding DOES help with this, you
only have ONE allergy! could be more! |
|
19:30:40 |
TurboClaudia |
how old is your bab, mandy? |
|
19:30:41 |
mikesgirl64 |
i dont know i need to get my ll to
answer the phone i need a pro |
|
19:30:45 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
and probably would be if she was getting
cow milk formula.. |
|
19:30:48 |
mikesgirl64 |
6 months |
|
19:31:12 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
has she ever stuck her tongue all theway
out? past her lips? |
|
19:31:17 |
mikesgirl64 |
weve been battling thrush mastitis, and
now eczema on the nipples for 4 momths
now |
|
19:31:40 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
did she ever get thrush/yeast on her
bottom? |
|
19:31:56 |
TurboClaudia |
if you get a chance, read through the
mommychats transcript from linda folden
palmer's talk last week (or maybe the
week before??). someone asked her about
allergies, and she had some great info. |
|
19:32:15 |
TurboClaudia |
she wrote a book that would probably be
really helpful for you, too. let me see
if i can find the title... |
|
19:32:21 |
mikesgirl64 |
no i dont think shes ever stuck it out
at all - but her lach on the right
doesnt hurt me, just the left although
both sides have the rash |
|
19:33:02 |
TurboClaudia |
what are you doing to treat the
yeast/thrush? |
|
19:33:14 |
mikesgirl64 |
she did for a while mouth and bum but
it was gone pretty quickly |
|
19:34:06 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I happen to be on the transcripts page,
which category would that be under? |
|
19:34:36 |
mikesgirl64 |
apparently its not thrush anymore we
used nystatn, lotramin, genation biolet,
i take acidiphilous, and galic |
|
19:34:49 |
TurboClaudia |
it was a mothering chat, rebecca. |
|
19:35:03 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
oops, lost her. |
|
19:35:08 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
here she comes back |
|

|
19:35:16 |
TurboClaudia |
have you tried grapefruit seed extract? |
|
19:35:29 |
mikesgirl64 |
sorry tried to go to transcripts :) |
|
19:35:45 |
TurboClaudia |
and have you cut out all sugar and white
flour from your diet? |
|
19:36:27 |
TurboClaudia |
have you found you crave sugar or
starchy foods? 'cause that's a sure
sign the yeasties are still thriving... |
|
19:36:36 |
mikesgirl64 |
no that was nect on my list i went to
infectioys diseases he said maybe b its
ot thrush looks like eczema and treated
w steriods which helped a lot still not
right though |

|
19:37:47 |
TurboClaudia |
gentian violet worked okay for us the
first time, but not so good the second.
so i got some liquid grapefruit seed
extract and followed dr jay gordon's
instructions for using it from
www.drjaygordon.com |
|
19:37:54 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I can't imagine yeast and eczema
together, icky combination. |
|
19:38:06 |
TurboClaudia |
yeah, i imagine it's not fun... |
|
19:38:26 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I missed jack newman!!! |

19:38:57 |
host_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:43:25 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
lucky you to meet Dr Newman! |
|
19:43:53 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
Mandy, I'm reading those transcripts and
they ARE good, allergy info right at the
beginning! |
|
19:44:05 |
TurboClaudia |
yep, i remember that. he's generally
better about it now that he's 16 months,
but the past couple of days i've just
really needed him to nap at the usual
time after lunch and he will have
nothing to do with it. |
|
19:44:15 |
TurboClaudia |
instead, he's napping now. |
|
19:44:23 |
TurboClaudia |
an hour before he eats dinner |
|
19:44:27 |
TurboClaudia |

|
19:45:54 |
mikesgirl64 |
haha :) |
|
19:46:10 |
z2akids |
Ha, Abigail has spent a total of 3 hours
in her crib since birth |
|
19:46:21 |
mikesgirl64 |
haha claudia at least hes napping |
|
19:46:21 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, is that what i posted? |
|
19:47:05 |
z2akids |
You posted backwards - 6 eastern, 7
central, etc. Eastern is an hour later
than central, etc. lol |
|
19:47:09 |
mikesgirl64 |
we started out cosleeping bt with her
reflux she was miserable until we
started putting her in her careseat in
her crib |
|
19:47:21 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
we were talking allergies and baby sleep
habits jennifer |
|
19:47:27 |
z2akids |
So, if you go by all of the times you
listed backwards, it would be 9 eastern
;) |
|
19:47:42 |
mikesgirl64 |
kiers allergic to soy - the cause ofher
eczema |
|
19:47:43 |
z2akids |
Oh, I understand that. |
|
19:47:57 |
z2akids |
Have you had her to an allergist? |
|
19:48:05 |
mikesgirl64 |
thi afternoon |
|
19:48:44 |
z2akids |
I still can't believe that they did an
allergy test on her already. With both
the boys they said they weren't done
before 2 years old - then again all docs
are a bit different |
|
19:49:38 |
mikesgirl64 |
yea my nephews been going here since he
was around her age...they seem pretty
good |
|
19:49:44 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
im now nirsing colton (2 1/2) cuz daddy
yelled at him for putting his fingers in
wet paint |
|
19:50:00 |
mikesgirl64 |
and very happy to he we were ebf and
waiting until months to start solids |
|
19:50:11 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
allergist dod test on colton at one
month |
|
19:50:18 |
mikesgirl64 |
oh poor colton :) |
|
19:50:28 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
blood test---but thats cuz i refused the
skin test |
|
19:50:45 |
mikesgirl64 |
i was a little weirded out about the
skin test |
|
19:51:07 |
mikesgirl64 |
its introducing allergens at some level
isnt it |
|
19:51:13 |
z2akids |
If it makes you feel any better,
Alexander was 2 when he had it and he
didn't complain at all - and if it
bothered him much, he would have
complained |
|
19:51:29 |
z2akids |
Oh on that scale. Yeah, I do find that
strange |
|
19:51:39 |
mikesgirl64 |
she didnt act like she bnoticed either |
|
19:52:15 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
!yeah mandy |
|
19:53:29 |
mikesgirl64 |
but i didnt know there was another
option - guess i shouldve donesome
research :blush: |
|
19:53:52 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
huge hugs. I'm jsut glad you found out. |
|
19:54:13 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I have a neighbor boy who is 11 and has
TERRIBLE eczema all over his arms,
scratches until he bleeds... |
|
19:54:28 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I KNOW he's addicted to dairy...mom
refuses to take him to a dr or care at
all. |
|
19:54:42 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
does she scratch it? |
|
19:54:56 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I was amazed that Colton actually COULD
scratch it at just a month old. |
|
19:55:02 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
intentionally. |
|
19:55:15 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
he had to do it a few times before I
knew he was doing it intentionally. |
|
19:55:20 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
today he is eczema free. |
|
19:55:27 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
must have a few grumpy babies here. |
|
19:55:33 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
My olders are playing with Sarah :) |
|
19:55:33 |
TurboClaudia |
oops... i spoke too soon |
|
19:55:52 |
TurboClaudia |
he's up now, and he'll probably want
cuddles so no hands free for typing... |
|
19:55:59 |
TurboClaudia |
so take care, mamas! |
|
19:56:02 |
TurboClaudia |

|
19:56:05 |
mikesgirl64 |

|
19:56:14 |
host_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:56:25 |
z2akids |
bye |
|
19:56:37 |
mikesgirl64 |
she doesnt intenionally scratch a it |
|
19:57:01 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I bet she does...is it bloody from
scratching in it? |
|
19:57:04 |
mikesgirl64 |
although until we got a decent hold on
the diaper area shed freak when i
changed it |
|
19:57:37 |
mikesgirl64 |
not now although it has been off and on |
|
19:57:51 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
is it in her creases? |
|
19:57:59 |
z2akids |
Are you using sposie wipes? |
|
19:58:05 |
mikesgirl64 |
nope |
|
19:58:11 |
mikesgirl64 |
yes in creases |
|
19:58:18 |
mikesgirl64 |
nope sposie wipes |
|
19:58:21 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
nodding, sure sign of eczema then. |
|
19:58:26 |
z2akids |
:( |
|
19:58:32 |
mikesgirl64 |
we actually just piur water on her and
patdry |
|
19:58:44 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
Colton even got it on his cheeks (face)
as well as in every single crease.... |
|
19:58:50 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
after it settled in.. |
|
19:58:55 |
mikesgirl64 |
yikes |
|
19:58:56 |
z2akids |
Okay, I know it's semi controversial,
but have you talked to your doc about -
ugh the name of the excema cream just
escaped me |
|
19:59:04 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
elidel |
|
19:59:08 |
z2akids |
yeah that |
|
19:59:23 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I used that eventhough I shun medicine
of all sorts... |
|
19:59:24 |
mikesgirl64 |
im brand new to the eczema scene so i
have to start my reaearch |
|
19:59:29 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
it DID work....really well. |
|
19:59:44 |
mikesgirl64 |
why contoversial? |
|
19:59:51 |
z2akids |
It works really well. But, the
government recently came out and said it
can cause cancer |
|
19:59:57 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
BUT he did break out in chicken pox but
only initially...and it wasn't the
regular disease. |
|
20:00:13 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
that was FROM the elidel. |
|
20:00:19 |
z2akids |
I haven't really looked at the research
though. We haven't used it in quite a
while and only used it very sparingly |
|
20:00:19 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I hadn't heard the cancer stuff. |
|
20:00:36 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
jennifer wher eis your kids' eczema? |
