Cradle Crap

Dylan is 1 month old now! About 2 weeks ago, Dylan started to get Cradle Cap. I would like to actually call it the "cradle crap". It is known to be caused by hormones left in mother's placenta. There is no treatment for it nor should do anything about it. His pediatrician Dr. Jacobson said it will go away on its own and that I don't need to worry about it. He was born with such a beautiful skin and it makes me so upset when I look at his face. I am just glad that it doesn't bother him and that he has no idea he has it. It's not like Eczema, which itches and bothers the baby.

Speaking of Eczema, I have somehow developed some similar condition to eczema on my body and it itches like hell. I have seen my primary care physician and a allergy specialist. Neither of them could figure out exactly what it is. The best they could suspect is eczema due to changes in hormones after pregnancy. I now have a appointment with a dermatologist - I hope he can figure out exactly what I have. I've been doing some research online and I've read many cases about women developing eczema after pregnancy even though there is no family history of such a skin condition.

I was supposed to go to a spa getaway for Christine's B-Day, but I decided not to considering my skin condition- I would be scratching myself the whole time!!! Anyways, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHRISTINE!
