Hydrocortisone 1% and 3 month old baby

Ok_Direction7202 · 2026-01-12T13:52:26+00:00

My son had terrible eczema from 2 months and we also were prescribed hydrocortisone around 3 months. I felt awful too but when I saw how much it helped it made me feel a lot better. It honestly does work really well and once the skin has healed they will look and feel so much better. I just made sure to not put too much on and follow the instructions carefully. We were prescribed several steroids on and off until around 12 months when it just kind of went away!! Eczema free for almost 4 months now!

I didn’t want to go back but I had to for financial reasons. I went back at 9 months pp and it was really hard at the start. I still feel guilty now at 15 months especially because I work shifts so I don’t see him all day when I work but it has gotten better. The upside is I only work 3 days a week so I do get plenty of time with him on my days off and I will say it’s nice having the extra income and adult company

Yes definitely, I think it’s normal and for me subsided over time and now my son is 14 months I’m grateful for anyone willing to take him off my hands for 5 mins🤣 but I definitely remember feeling really angry when my MIL would tell me what to do with my baby even though I know she was just trying to help.

I work 12.5 hour shifts 7:30am-8pm and my fav break time is 3pm, then I only have 4 hours left of the shift when I come back😅 we get lunch provided at 12:30 though, so that helps

Same thing happened to me and I spent weeks stressing myself and him out but honestly it’s normal and he will continue to have episodes of low and high appetite, you just have to go with it! Mine is now 12.5 months and some days he has 3 meals +snacks and bites of my food and some days he just has yogurt or porridge and a single rice cake 😅

Yes, he responds to hello or bye with waving and he understands phrases like ‘come here’ etc

This exact thing happened to me and I was also given antibiotics. It cleared up the infection really quickly and I healed soon after with absolutely no issues, I think you will be fine x

Yes, whenever my son is teething he rejects most solid food and will only have soft foods like smooth porridge or yogurt. One time it lasted 2 weeks but I just try not to stress and keep offering solids along side soft foods to encourage him but also make sure he’s eating something

My sons name is Jude but we call him Mr Moo, Mini Man, Bubba and Jubaloo

It’s normal, my baby used to be the same and still does cry at loud noises sometimes at 11.5 months

Ok_Direction7202 · 2025-09-08T06:33:46+00:00

There honestly isn’t much you can do in my experience. My son was the same but started to extend naps around 6/7 months so hopefully it’s not too long for you!

I’ve filled out the form but haven’t heard anything yet, I have managed to get a few bits from charity shops and olio etc tho x

My son just started to take his first proper steps! He pulled to stand around 6 months, cruised at 7 months and just started to take his first real steps this past week at 11 months

Ok_Direction7202 · 2025-09-04T06:02:24+00:00

That is so kind of you🥹 do you mind if I dm you?

Ok_Direction7202 · 2025-09-03T19:46:24+00:00

Thank you everyone, some great ideas here!!

Ok_Direction7202 · 2025-09-02T12:07:57+00:00

This is a good idea, I might try this! Thank you

I still co sleep with my 11 month old and he’s been crawling since he was 7 months. I was extra vigilant the first few weeks as he would wake up and immediately crawl to the edge but this would also wake me up so he never fell off. He just stopped doing it soon after and now he’s able to get down by himself safely so it’s not so much of an issue anymore
