Just wondering if anyone has used Beauty and The Bees Baby Cream to treat their bubba's eczema???

I have read that it is supposed to be good for eczema and what I'm using on Pip at the moment just isn't working and I'm trying to avoid steroidal creams at all costs....

I have not tried it sorry, but I understand how awful excema can be :( My son has always had it very badly. If nothing 'natural' is working, you may need to give in and use something stronger. Alot of this so called natural stuff is not natural at all and contains stuff that is only going to irritate your babies skin further.
Use a plain moisturiser at least twice a day all over her body, something like QV or even just plain old unsceneted sorbolene, is the most important thing of all, keeping her moisturised although avoid sorbolene if skin is broken, it can really sting it. If skin needs something more then maybe you need to see about a 1% steroid cream or even some elidel, which is great for the face, as it is not a steroid, but I dont know if your bubs is to little or not.
Others, including myself, have also had some success with ointments such as Laninsoh and paw paw cream.
Good luck, its a horrible thing to watch :(

Thanks Martha...

I have been using it for about a week now.... can see a difference in her skin though its not working as well as I'd hoped.....

Thinking about giving David Hoskings Soothing Lavender face & body balm a go too.... so any advice on that would be great!!

Thanks Coops...

Yeah its horrible.... I hate seeing her try and scratch her face, and if I don't catch her in time she manages to make it bleed no matter how short her nails are... feel like a terrible mum when people are forever pointing out the terrible rash on her face....

Will have to give the lansinoh a go....
