"Her skin is itchy and the creams aren't working."
Hang on. This isn't what parenting is meant to be like. An upset baby, weeping skin, lack of sleep, strangers stopping to give unsolicited advice instead of smiles - and the helplessness of not being able to make it just go away, no matter how many creams you try. I know how it feels because this was once our story too.
You're not alone and this is not in your head. Eczema is common but that doesn't make it normal. While I'm a huge fan of the do-it-yourself approach and the below links are designed to get you started - if you want to work with someone experienced, compassionate and knowledgeable to help save time, money and sanity, I'd love to help.
