We saw a pediatrician for my 6.5 year old that prescribed a medicated oil. I think steroid or something? It was so messy but it finally cleared it up and kept it resolved for the first time in his entire life. We’ve tried every oil, head and shockers, nizoral, anti fungal, you name it. We use a natural tea tree oil shampoo for regular washing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cradle-cap-in-5-year-old-1#post-2923735 Tue, 11 May 2021 16:09:23 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2923735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We swear by this stuff! Been using it for years (since DD was a newborn). It cleared away her cradle cap immediately. I find it even works on dry scalp and dandruff! </p> <p>This past winter, my scalp was exceptionally dry and I ran out of my tea tree shampoo, so I tried DD's Weleda. I was surprised by how well it works on my own scalp! </p> [attach=1448/21/qsyo3n.150x360.waleda.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cradle-cap-in-5-year-old-1#post-2923711 Mon, 10 May 2021 13:42:46 +0000 nana87 2923711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 7 year old just had a flare up and I used coconut oil to loosen the flakes and then the mustela shampoo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cradle-cap-in-5-year-old-1#post-2923710 Mon, 10 May 2021 12:22:46 +0000 JJ2626 2923710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my 3 year old had cradle cap her whole life and we never really did anything about it.

The pediatrician recommended we treat it with olive oil, which works pretty well, but I was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions about shampoo, etc. that might help keep it at bay.

I'll have to try that spot test.</p> <p>@bees_knees: I'll have to look into this! </p> <p>@Chuckles: ah that makes sense thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eczema-4#post-2917665 Fri, 24 Jul 2020 17:21:20 +0000 Chuckles 2917665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remembered reading somewhere (or our pediatrician told me, I don't remember) that Aquaphor is a good barrier, but not really a moisturizer. We have had great results layering Eucerin baby lotion underneath aquaphor. The aquaphor keeps it on and prevents her diaper and clothes from rubbing on the spots that have eczema. We also used basic cortisone cream on a really bad spot on her forehead, layered under aquaphor, and it cleared up quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eczema-4#post-2917660 Fri, 24 Jul 2020 15:36:49 +0000 bees_knees 2917660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vanicream is the BEST lotion for eczema. Can be found at Target/Amazon/etc. Any other lotion makes my kids’ eczema even worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eczema-4#post-2917648 Fri, 24 Jul 2020 12:42:33 +0000 PinkElephant 2917648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following with interest. My almost 4 year old has always had one patch of eczema on the back of her neck, and is having TERRIBLE flare-ups on her thighs this summer. We also had some prescription creams/steroids for when she scratches it/it gets infected, but would love ideas for preventative measures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eczema-4#post-2917629 Fri, 24 Jul 2020 04:26:43 +0000 Ms. RV 2917629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How often are you bathing her? DD had bad eczema and we only bathed her once a week because any more would cause flare ups. Also, have you identified the source (or if there is one)? If she sensitive to laundry detergent then you won't see improvement so long as she is still wearing clothes.</p> <p>I couldn't use Aquaphor because of lanolin, so we used Aveeno Eczema Nighttime Balm and it worked great. </p> <p>Also, come.to think of it, try doing a spot test on a place that doesn't have eczema with the Aquaphor to make sure it actually isn't contributing to the flare ups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-eczema-4#post-2917573 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 18:00:28 +0000 Clementine12 2917573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD2 is 7 mo and has some stubborn eczema in her arm creases and on her back. Doc has us trying hydrocortisone and aquaphor, and using Cetaphil for bathtime. Some days it looks q bit better but I'm not seeing a big improvement.</p> <p>What does this cycle look like - should I be seeing improvements? I have permission to use the cream for 2 weeks and we're just finishing week 1. Dd is not bothered. I don't want to spend money on eczema products unless they're going to actually work. Any advice? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-skid-bath-solutions#post-2909351 Fri, 31 Jan 2020 08:51:02 +0000 PurplePumps 2909351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did stickers too cause I didn't want a damp mat left in the tub, but went with fun colorful ones. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/PGFUN-Organism-Appliques-Refrigerators-Decoration/dp/B07TF7BTY8/ref=sr_1_17?crid=2RGQ5SBHLQPMF&#038;keywords=anti+slip+tub+stickers&#038;qid=1580478564&#038;s=home-garden&#038;sprefix=Anti+slip+tub%2Cgarden%2C320&#038;sr=1-17" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/PGFUN-Organism-Appliques-Refrigerators-Decoration/dp/B07TF7BTY8/ref=sr_1_17?crid=2RGQ5SBHLQPMF&#038;keywords=anti+slip+tub+stickers&#038;qid=1580478564&#038;s=home-garden&#038;sprefix=Anti+slip+tub%2Cgarden%2C320&#038;sr=1-17</a>.

We do something called a Washy Washy in our house and it can be either a bath or a shower but what it means is you literally just get in, get wet, get soapy, rinse, and get out. There's no playing, but I introduced the idea with like a fun, silly voice and the kids bought it, hook, line, and sinker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-hates-showers#post-2894725 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 09:32:58 +0000 Mama Bird 2894725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a four year old thing. A friend says she got her son this shower visor thing to keep water out of his eyes, and it made a difference. I just use the handheld and try to get the hair washing over with fast, and keep the water on the kids so they don't get cold. Seems to work most days... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-hates-showers#post-2894687 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 19:47:19 +0000 MACSUNSHINE 2894687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you make a smaller shower with the handheld? Have it hanging somehow? Our stand up shower has a hook for some random reason so we are able to hang the handheld and make a small shower that is below his head (he is 3.5). We also let him play firefighter after he is washed up with the handheld. Good luck! </p>
