Choose Your Baby Eczema Cream Wisely

I realized moisturizing my daughter's skin is one of the most important steps in providing relief from her baby eczema. I've also realized that moisturizing with the right baby eczema cream is another important step I can't ever over look again.
When my child was diagnosed with her skin condition, I immediately grabbed the first popular baby eczema cream my friends where suggesting. To my dismay, the cream didn't work and it made my daughter's eczema worst. So then I grad the 2nd most popular baby eczema cream my friends where suggesting and "surprise surprise"this cream didn't work either. So like any other caring parent, I decided to do my own research.
So what did I find this time you might ask... Well this is what I found.
I've found that an effective baby eczema cream contains Natural Vitamin E. Again its Natural Vitamin E and not the Synthetic stuff. The scientific name for natural Vitamin E is tocopheryl acetate or d-alpha tocopherol. (I wouldn't be able to pronounce the name correctly if you offered me $5 to say it.) To spot the synthetic vitamin E in in a baby eczema cream, look for the scienticfic names of DL-Tocopherol or DL- tocopheryl acetate in the ingredent section of the products.
The first two baby eczema creams I've tried on my daughter skin didn't contain the natural vitamin E. From my research, the human body absord and retained natural vitamin E better than the synthetic version.
So why would a company use synthetic vitamin e in their baby eczema cream when there is a natural solution available? Well... it can all come down to time and money. Synthetic Vitamin E is easier, faster and cheaper to make. Easier + Faster + Cheaper = More money in the pockets the company.
So bottom line... Try a Baby Eczema Cream with Natural Vitamin E before you try the others.

My Baby Eczema Solution
About two months ago, I was feeling a little helpless and frustrated by the fact that my child had been suffering from a bad case of baby eczema! I hated the fact that I have to sit back an watch her suffer because their isn't a cure for this disease. But like any good parent, I sought professional help and did a little research on my own on this issue. One late night on doing some research, I stumble on some life change information that allowed me to take some easy steps to treat my baby's eczema. This solution to baby eczema allowed me to relieve a lot of the stress and pain my daughter experienced with this skin condition. So if you’ve ever been discouraged like me, get ready to get over it now because I will love to share with you on what I did for my child to treat her baby eczema.
1st I Kept her skin moisturized. The key here was that I had to be consist. I set up a regime for my daughter and stuck to it. I applied moisturizing cream once in the evening and once in the morning. In the morning, I applied moisturizer after I gave her a bath. I then toweled her skin lightly so it is mostly dry but left it a little damp, and apply the moisturizer. I recommend that you use unscented moisturizer with Vitamin E, it seemed to treat my daughter's skin better.
2nd I slightly changed my daughters diet. I noticed that when she drank certain types of milk, she would often become more itchy and have more baby eczema flare ups. So my advise here is to keep track of what your child eats and see if it triggers their eczema in any way. If you can pin down the food that triggers her baby eczema, you simple eliminate that food from their diet. I also suggest that you don't underestimate the importance of diet because I noticed that certain types of food made my daughters Baby Eczema 3 or 4 times worst.
3rd I Replaced all my daughters clothes, blankets, towels, etc. that was made of rough material. The rough material that touch her skin really aggravated her baby eczema. I replace it all with the softest 100% cotton I could find. I also changed the detergent I used to wash her clothes with. My Daughter's skin was less sensitive to certain detergents. I also found that using the natural unscented detergent and softener helped a lot.
So I don't gaurentee that following what I did will work for your child but it did work for mine. If you want more information on baby eczema I highly recommend that you check out his really amazing baby eczema site!
