Growth spurt and eczema

My DS has ezcema according to the doc. Doc prescribed cortizone cream for 3 days which cleared his rash but it's back again... :( He is so uncomfortable and itchy which has of course messed up his sleep pattern. He was up for 7 hours fighting to sleep yesterday and 6 hours today. Holy 6 week growth spurt my DS is grunting crying and all sort of stuff in his sleep and been very fussy overall. How is everyone else LO doing?

  • DS2 has bad eczema.  I've made my own cream for it and it cleared it up really well.  My BFF has used it on her son too and cleared his rash up.  This is the recipe I used.
