Allergy Testing for 13 Month Old

My 13 month old has severe excema on his head and face. At our last doctor visit (last week) my doctor suggested that we get him tested for allergies to see if that would help his excema. His excema is really bad and he constantly itches it and cuts himeself on his scalp. We are using a steroid right now and I would hate to continue to use it so that he is comfortable.

Adopting a Boy - What to Register for an (18 Month Old) Baby Shower

My husband will have the son we've been praying for in two months. Some friends from our church are wanting to throw us a shower - can you give me an idea of the "must-have's" for an 18 month old? I don't have anything for our baby at this point except my collection of Little Golden books!

Suggestions for Clothing Brands for Big Baby

Eczema Products That Worked for You or Your Toddler?

We have a friend whose toddler is plagued by eczema. She mentioned that the doctor was asking her what has worked in the past. Her frustration is that nothing has worked, it has never cleared up. I know she has searched the internet herself but I thought I'd ask you mammas. Without knowing what she has tried already, I just want to know what worked for you. I am so sad when he cries and she looks so tortured, especially when applying sunscreen. That is just pure torture for them both, and all of us who hear him whimper in pain. Thanks for...
