Dear ALL
Hope everyone is well i have some queries Dylan is now eating rice cereal once in the day in the mornings he is 4months and a week old just wondering if others have started solids i did rtesearch and i read the longer you wait the better...i am thinking of introducing veg and fruit stage 1 after 5 months for now staying with rice cereal and the oat and barley last and then just switch to mixed grain.
Dylan has very dry skin and dr has said that he may have mild eczema where the fols of his arms and legs are a lil red has anyone else now 2-3 times and giving sponge bath in btwn also back of dylans head has become a lil flat so dr has said to lay him on tummy

I don know yaar i guess This Eczema thing is worrying most of moms here ..my chotu also has got rashes on face n cradle cap ..i'm bathing him only twice in a week with Cetaphil n rest of time give him sponge bath. i try to keep his skin moisturies always it gets dry very soon. rest he is doing good ..now a days he rolls over a lot ..have to keep eye on him so that dont fall from upside of bed. Arti replied. I haven't started solids for Arjun but I started feeling that now the time has come to start. Lets see how long I can wait. I still have to get a high chair, feeding bowls and spoons for him.
What type of rice cereal are you giving to Dylan, the usual one or the organic one? Which one is best if you know?
For dry skin, not sure if you have humidier at home considering its winter and heater could be on all the time. BTW, did you try oil massage? It helps with rashes and red skin I heard.
Arjun has a very itchy sclap and lost too many hair because of that. Last week I saw some redness kind of cradle cap. i did oil massage on his scalp and reduced the use of shampoo and it has already started to subside.
If you are not taking out Dylan too frequntly then stop using soap for couple of days and see if that helps
