Goodevening mamas
Trust your day went well
Ma petite has been referred to see a dermatologist concerning the recurrent skin boils cos i can't really classify it as rashes. She's been having these since she was 4 months old, and till now @ 22 months we are still having episodes at least once every 6 weeks
These stuffs that shows up on her legs and arms have really dealt with my dear. They itch terribly and when she scratches and d water that comes out touches another place they pop up in other points too

So we saw a specialist today who said d primary diagnosis is popular urticaria, though she thinks it could be insect bites and her skin is super sensitive...I told her I doubted that anyway and that i suspected food allergy cos whenever she eats soya or groundnuts she'll have an outbreak. I also noticed that she reacts to disposable daipers i mean all the ones we have tried but is comfortable with 100% cloth daipering.

She said no doubt her skin is sensitive to the components of the disposables, and adviced i just stick to cotton if that be the case
Na wa which Kain skin dis pickin get na...I find it tough to keep up with cloth daipering o honestly @ Alphahandmaiden I need tips please. Thank God she's already started potty training..I can't wait to stop using diapers. I just pray I don't have such issues with my next baby by his grace cos this skin issue is energy sapping

The Dr said food allergy test is usually her last resort cos its expensive,say like 80k i was like jeeezzz! Thats a huge sum

She just adviced i cover her legs properly whenever she's out to avoid insect bites like sunfly n d likes which could also b d culprit, change her bathing soap to DOVE cos its mild, keep watching what she eats, use a tropical antibacterial cream when d need arises and stop flooding her system with antibiotics cos honestly thats what we've been doing all the while and now it seems her system is too used to it that it seldom works

Though, it was soothing to hear that she will outgrow it soon.
This is a quick update incase any baby here is having same recurrent skin issues
May God protect our LO's for us

so Sorry to hear this, its so hard to watch a little one in any form of pain and discomfort and that "dont scratch" thing doesnt even register with them. at least you have an idea of what might be causing it, keep trying to avoid it where possible.

I know someone that her son is allergic to synthetic fabrics, even poly cotton he reacts to, as soon as you add any % of polyester to it. so before she buys anything she has to start checking label and looking for 100% cotton. and of course it is not cheap!

anyways hopefully she will outgrow it.

For the nappy tips, send an email to cloth-nappies@mimabear.com

let us work through what you already have and what you made need to supplement it , or you can reach us on skype if you prefere. There is a call/ chat button on the website: http://naturalbabies.mimabear.com/

It's a fabric softener that comes with different fragrance which helps soften clothes so that it doesn't feel coarse on the skin when worn. Most times due to the water or detergent used in washing this clothes the texture of the clothes is a bit coarse. At a tender age babies skin are usually sensitive. It's advisable you use fabric softener.

Hello every1. Trust we r all good.

Ok,i noticed that my ds(25months)has not been eating well only for me to check his mouth and i saw a whitish spot with a red circle on his lower,inner lip and also running temp. So i started using warm water/salt with cotton wool to clean d place & giving him ibrupofen syrup. But there was no improvement at all bcus he refused eatng nor taking even water!

We took him to the hospoital on sun night cus d temp got so so high that even tepid-sponging did nada! He was given antibiotics,vit c & ibrupofen.

Yesterday,i noticed ders another white patch on his left tip of tongue,omg! I pity d boy o! He cnt evn take water without crying... He really wants to eat but the thot of d pains when food enters his mouth,makes him withdraw!

Just this afternoon,i saw a bigger patch with about 3tiny ones around it on d right edge of his tongue! God,wat is this ooo! He cant even close his mouth! He has lost so much weight from friday evening.

The antibiotics mks him poop alot but i have to continue giving him...

What could have caused the white patches. I learnt its an infection!

Is there anything else i can use to hasten the healing I'm so so so worried for him...

Thank you ma..and thank you too @feddy27, LadySarah, Twogreatnations, Hyphee and Cappo Phlakkeys.

So I will be resuming work on Monday. I have sourced for a good day care (based on recommendations) for my baby. I bought some small storage plates to dish her formular in. One plate has enough formulae for each feed. I also bought the Gerber rice meal but no instructions on the pack on how to prepare it. Please how do they make It?. I intend to breast feed all through the night and morning before she goes to day care. How do i pack the food? Two feeds of formular and two feeds of cereals? What about fruit purees abi time never reach? I'm trying to rack my brain to know if i have actually done the things i should. Sabi mama's please help me with tips and advice o.

It might also be mouth ulcers, try getting bonjela for baby/ kids for him, it may relieve the pain and reduce the inflamation and possibly allow him eat.

Also i think you need him to gaggle with the salt water oh not just using cotton bud. just ask him to put in this mouth, hold for a bit and spit it out. you may have to show him first and make game out of it, although just know that for the next one week, everything he puts in his mouth will end up coming out as he go turn am to play!!!

Actually it's a deficiency of Vit C. It has been happening to me as far as I can remember till now mind you I'm almost an adult. The cure is Vit C. If you can get vit C supplement suitable for his age he will be fine. It's very painful I know that. I don't always talk anytime it happens to me Self. It's that Painful. Citrus fruits like orange, lemon etc is the prefect cure but it's not suitable for a baby as its contains acid. So Vit C supplements it is.

I hope I helped sha
