Glowing Baby

A few weeks ago, Chloe had a bad case of eczema all over her face. She looked really miserable with red face, slightly cracked skin and not too happy at all. I searched everywhere for ways to help her, and carefully changing my diet too. As she is still a breastfed baby, some suggested me cutting down on dairy products, milk, eggs, and staying away from eczema prone food.

But most importantly, I must make sure she is well moisturised every day, afternoon and night. And because she tends to suck her hands a bit, she tends to get a bit of rash around her mouth and cheeks. I was looking for a good barrier cream and after trying lots of stuff, I still think the good old vaseline works the best.

Each day before she goes down for her naps, I would apply a nice layer of Vaseline on her face.

And when she wakes up, we always have this beautiful glowing baby smiling at us!

So, her skin has finally cleared up after copious amount of vaseline and moisturiser, evening primrose and bath oil for her daily bath and me being cautious with what I eat. And I just need to keep doing it.
