Like most parents, I am sleep deprived. I’m not saying this to start a pity-party blog post, I have a problem and I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions.
Each night around midnight our little Cooper sneaks his way into our bed. He’s gotten stealthy at creeping between us and we wouldn’t know he was there except that within minutes he starts scratching his arms. “ch-ch-ch-ch-ch” I wake up to the sound of nails on skin – and it gives me the creeps! He has eczema. I’ve tried a viariety of lotions, oils and creams of varying levels of cost and oatmeal baths. Doesn’t seem to help. I’m wondering if anyone has found a topical treatment that seems to work? We aren’t getting much sleep and his poor skin looks awful. You can see how red his face is and a bit of what’s on his shoulders.
I’m trying to avoid a trip to doctor and drugs if possible, but if in the end that’s what we have to do then so be it.
Thanks. *yawn*
Peace.
