For My Boys

When I was growing up, I suffered from eczema. It was worse in the summer since I lived in a hot and humid climate, and I would get rashes on the inside of my elbows and the backs of my knees. I was prescribed steroidal creams and told to bath in tepid water since eczema didn't like hot water. These recommendations provided temporary improvements, at the least. One thing I did notice was as I continued to have stomach problems, I continued to have eczema. As I started to change my diet and products, the severity lessened and eventually went away. And it's never been back. For any of you suffering from eczema or have a child or friend suffering, I suggest taking a look at both your bath and skin products and your intake of packaged foods, non-organic lunch meat and dairy.

I have two precious boys and when I was pregnant I changed all my skin and bath products to organic. When they were babies, I never wanted to put anything unnatural on their bodies. Even products that claimed to be natural still contained chemicals. I love using Little Twig Baby Wash and Lotion and BABYBEARSHOP Cheeky Baby Butter. Both brands use organic ingredients and are perfect for sensitive to normal skin. Cheeky Baby Butter is excellent for dry skin and healing to skin with eczema or atopic dermatitis. It sounds like a product for kids, but I love to use it too!

Love,
Jennifer
