Handmade Calendula Lotion

If I've learned anything with Lily's eczema it's that no one thing works for everyone...and sometimes something that worked at one time doesn't help anymore.  It's a constant tweaking process to figure out how to manage her "hurty" skin.

Fortunately for me, though I wish she didn't have this expertise, I have a dear friend who has dealt with much worse eczema with her little boy for longer than I have had to & she is a constant source of ideas & encouragement for me.  One thing she suggested that really helped is this:

Here's where you get it...it is handmade & all natural & really works on Lilybug.  She has handmade calendula soap as well-we use both on her (just have to keep it out of her eyes).  But it's the first product that actually delivers.

This was what Lily looked like a few weeks ago:

 Now, she's almost completely clear!

(Following another suggestion from Cara, when it gets really bad we also use hydrocortizone cream, then this lotion, then apply either Vaseline or actual Crisco & that clears her up in about 2-3 days.  I just hope to maybe help another baby with this awful condition!)
