Asda sell 100% cotton baby grows and vests with no tags and nickel free poppers. I changed all my products shampoo, conditioner, cleanser etc to Simple unfragranced products because my little boys face, neck and hands were particularly bad with…

Thanks Julie, for your great advice. I hadn't thought about excluding trims meaning it might have nylon thread. When you say about Simple shampoo etc do you mean for yourself? I'm still breastfeeding and wonder if what i use would affect…

I have a 14 month old child who has been diagnosed with moderate to severe eczema all over his body since about two months old. He also has silent reflux treated with omeprazole. He has been diagnosed with dairy and egg allergies. Dietary changes…

Well the dermatologist at the hospital said it's definitely eczema. He was really good and took the time to explain things properly to me. If only Matthew's own GP was as good! Unfortunately he had enough respect for me to tell me that…

Matthew's mummy replied to Lynn Turner's discussion 'breastfeeding and reflux'
Hey no problem. I'm glad you've had a better weekend. It took us a few weeks for Matthew to get used to the Gaviscon but in the end he was sooking it right out of the syringe before we depressed the plunger! We tried mixing it with half…

Matthew's mummy replied to Matthew's mummy's discussion 'Excema and reflux?'
Susie, thanks so much for your suggestion. I got hubbie to call the GP this morning to ask if they would do a swab and to get a prescription for more bandages and she saw him again this afternoon. She took a swab and even let us take it to the…

Matthew's mummy replied to Lynn Turner's discussion 'breastfeeding and reflux'
Hi Lynn, You are doing so well! The first 12 weeks can be really hard for some mums. Please be reassured that whilst a small percentage of babies with reflux are intolerant to milk (and lots of mums on here can give you info on that where I…

Matthew's mummy replied to Lara Hamilton's discussion 'Starting to wonder if there's any light at the end of the tunnel?????'
I think I know what you mean. I suppose it's like survivor syndrome or something, where us and our babies have been such a horrible experience together and nobody else quite understands it, if that makes sense?!

I agree - five months after birthing our reflux baby my husband was sent to see the GP for his own special elective surgery! We're still waiting on an appointment but there is NO WAY I could cope with this again. I love my son but it's…

Matthew's mummy replied to Matthew's mummy's discussion 'Excema and reflux?'
Thanks for the replies everyone. I do think it's a skin infection of some kind but it's never been swabbed. Our pharmacist said she thought it was fungal way back at the start and sent us to see our GP (who we were avoiding!) but he never…

Matthew's mummy left a comment for Gillian Dowds
Hi Gillian, I know just what you mean about the screaming - we started on infacol too and then went onto Gaviscon etc. Matthew gets Omeprazole instead of Ranitidine but they do the same thing. It might be that the vomiting is painful so reducing the…
