hi mmambol,
my son is not raising his hands to grasp something. do u do anythign special to motivate this action of your daughter?. plz share with us.

hi,
dont get panic.some kids will take some extra time. anyways try to show him some vibrant colourful things which will interest him most. my daughter gets attracted towards red and yellow colour than any other colours.i think by the time he finishes 3 months, he will start this activity.there is nothing to worry as each child is different.
best regards

Hi moms

I am a new mom too, my cutie pie name is Vinay, he is 1 month 3 weeks old. We love to see him always - he coos, smiles, makes sounds, plays by moving hands and legs. He too has rashes on his face and i am helpless. I dont know why, i have his pediatric appointment by 26th of this month and have to show his doctor these rashes and get some remedy.

Is Eucerin good cos its petroleum jelly right, so can i use vaseline?

swtsvn · Feb 22, 2008

hi sanravi
i wont advice vaseline.
remember this valuable tip
DONT USE ADULT PRODUCTS ON KIDS
the things we use will and might not suit the kids, especially infants.
no vaseline, no ponds powder. etc.
kids , especially infants skin is different. for the first three months, the skin evolves from a new born's to an environmeent adaptable one.
the rashes are common.
my son had rashes for first two months.
it seems, the oil pores are just now evolving. so
do NOT apply oil/lotion/powder to the face. it will clog the pores, and will affect the normal skin developement.
i think the doc will also say this.l because my paed said the same. not to apply anything.

Baby acne - BabyCenter

if u r v much concerned
,u could use aquaphor. it is considered the best among infant products.

yes suja. i am applying aquaphor healing oinment now, it seems to get better in face but he is having still in his body like around neck, elbows..

Hi all

Even though this is the group for moms with 2month, Just wanted to tell u guys that till now I am applying Eucerin+Aquaphor(I will mix these 2 b 4 applying) it does magic. She had severe eczema problem but now only when we don't apply her skin becomes little rough. But few times our ped asked us to apply 1% hydrocortisone(little bit stronger one) b 4 applying E&A. But whatever it is do consult ur ped.

Just thought of sharing my experience.

Dear Srini

Thanks for sharing ur expereience. I find eucerin under the name of Aquaphor. Is that right or do i need to get eucerin separately??

swtsvn · Feb 28, 2008

i have only aquaphor titled lotion. and iam applying it. does not provide drastic effect. but it is much better than previous skin.

one more q moms.
my son is in the same weight as he was 2 months back. he is now 4 months old by march 6th. iam worried. isnt he supposed to gain weight, atleast 2 pounds every month?
