We recently noticed that Carter began scratching the living daylights out of his own poor skin, to the point of bleeding. When we took him to the doctor for a possible reaction to the chicken pox vaccine, we discovered that Carter has eczema. Well, despite the creams and lotions we've been caking him in, some creativity has been required to keep him from getting to his skin, particularly at night when he has his skin to himself in his crib. This lovely nighttime outfit fashioned by Shane consists of a pajama shirt topped by a onesie, pajama pants on over the onesie, and those pants tucked into socks. Nice.

so cute ...and sad :(
Rocky has eczema and we've found Thatcher with one small spot on his back leg ...luckily we got it to go away (lubriderm was our miracle) ...but of course it could and probably will come back, who knows. good luck!!
Sorry to hear he has eczema...I hear that's a bear to deal with. I've heard using cetaphil soap can work wonders for some kinds. Good luck figuring it out and way to go being creative to keep him from scratching! ;)
