For the Sake of his Bum

Our poor child has had some major skin problems these past few months thanks to his mommy and her not so nice genes. The first time he had a "break out" was around 4 months old and the docs said it was baby eczema, told us not to worry because a lot of babies and grow out of it. We sure hope he grows out of it because it has only gotten worse, especially with the  #$%* weather this summer!!!! The flare ups usually start with bad diaper rash or on his legs and quickly spread to the rest of his body. A couple weeks ago he even had it around his eye. It keeps him up at night and he is constantly scratching his skin. Some preventative measures we take are keep him moisturized, not bathe him as much, keep him cool, and keep him from scratching. During his last flare up, his cute little hiney was bright red and peeling for a good 4-5 days. We have tried numerous things like changing his diaper brand, cutting out fruit, changing his laundry soap, etc but none of those have really "helped" a significant amount(and by helped I mean reduce the number of flare ups and lessen the severity). SO....for the sake of the poor baby's butt, and ONLY for the sake of his butt(sorry, Earth) we are now using cloth diapers. I never thought we would ever use cloth diapers, I am just not the cloth diaper type of girl. BUT I will try anything to help Mr Baby's skin. And go figure, it is a lot easier than I thought( of course, we haven't had a big blowout in one yet, so that might be a different story, haha).  If you are interested, I recommend Fuzzi Bunz, they are so easy to use!
