Is that Rash Eczema?

By | | , , , ,
7 Comments

I should have known.My baby had rashes at two weeks old, and I didn’t think it was eczema, even though my spouse had mild localized eczema. Why didn’t I suspect it was eczema? I was faithfully reading a piece of paper from the hospital that listed rashes as one of the items I SHOULD NOT be worried about. So being a mom of a baby with eczema, and having helped families with eczema children worldwide through my blog EczemaBlues.com, I think helping families recognize eczema is an important step to controlling eczema, and treating it. Which Rash is Not EczemaThe … Continue reading →

As noted in one of my earlier posts reviewing the Zipadee-zip, my little one loves being confined into a swaddle of any sort while sleeping. The only problem now is that she has almost outgrown both of her Zipadee-zips! She soon will be 10 months old (where has the time flown?) and at her recent check up measured a whopping 74.6 cm! She’s going to be a tall girl just like her momma. While I LOVE the Zipadee-zip with a passion as they are seriously magical, I thought it was only fair to test out a Canadian product when ready … Continue reading →

Dad’s Deserve Some Props Too! {GIFT SUGGESTIONS}

I just had a conversation with my hubby last weekend about how I felt Dads deserve many more props than they get. There are so many stereotypes out there for different kinds of people and I’ve never been one to refer to them (at least, I try very hard not to) because for every “x” people that fall into that category, there are “y” people that don’t and those stereotypes can hurt! Lately, my ears have been perked up to several different conversations about Dads. These conversations are between women complaining about their husbands, dance moms talking about dance dads, … Continue reading →
