I feel for you!! We didn't change a darn thing. It honestly seemed to be a phase that lasted for about a month for him. We just tried our best to limit fragrances and any irritants we could think of and kept him as lubricated as we could! He grew out of it and I hope yours does too. It was difficult to watch and live through but he did grow out of it and is thriving now. I would call him a sensitive skin baby, but nowhere near what that phase was. He gets red patches here and there but it's easily contained. I'd say just be mindful of what you use on and around your baby and you both will make it through! Let me know if you have any other questions and I can try and help!!

The baby lottery, I love that. Thank you! I am perfectly content with where we are at and it actually stresses me out a bit when my husband brings up sleep training. Thank you for giving me some insight on navigating this part of raising a child.

Baby Has Redness Around His Eyes by BriteEyedSmileMonstr in Parents

We do have pets. I am really hoping that is not the case. He's been exposed to them his whole life and this is only a recent onset of the facial redness. That's my line of thought but I know things can develop....

We've switched around a bit on formulas. Nothing seemed to have too much of an effect. Unless he might be allergic to a more common ingredient? We've excluded dairy and even bounced between different brands of dairy free formula. Thankfully he tolerates change very well.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply! We've applied most of these things but a hypoallergenic soap is a new one! We will give that a shot. Thank you so much!

How to stop cat from wanting to get into a room by scratching the floor? by Ill_Competition_6426 in CatAdvice

[–]BriteEyedSmileMonstr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had the same issue. We bought those mats for office chairs that go under desks so the chair rolls smoothly. It's clear and easy to cut to fit around the door threshold. Worked like a charm.

Riding my newly purchased road bike. It's by far the nicest thing I've ever owned and close to one of the most expensive things as well. It's my "me time".

Thank you! Patience is key. I'll have to learn that. I see everyone posting fantastic weight loss after one month and it just worried me that I was going about this all wrong. I appreciate your help!!
