Eczema Friendly
My son unfortunately inherited my eczema gene and has eczema all over his body. One of the major things we noticed was that a lot of food trigger a flare up (i.e. chicken, eggs, dairy, tomatoes, strawberries, carrots, etc.). Here’s a list of skincare...
This cream has been a huge game changer for my son. We apply it 3 times a day on his face and hands after he eats and twice a day on his body where needed.
ATOPALM MLE Cream
Another cream that has been a huge help with our skincare. It’s very water based and leaves the skin feeling hydrated and smooth. Very great for maintaining soft skin.
ATOBARRIER365 Cream Moisturizer with Ceramides & Niacinamide for Skin ...
You’re going to want to find anything 100% cotton with no shirt tags just the label to prevent itching and sweating. I love the multi-packs from H&M because they’re so affordable and come in really nice colours easy to pair with any pants. The fa...
Baby Long-Sleeve Bodysuits | Vests & Multipacks
Can be used on babies from 6months old, it’s non-greasy, and highly moisturizing. I use it on eczema patches to treat them with more care.
CICAPLAST BAUME B5 SOOTHING RELIEVING BALM | 40ML | La Roche-Posay
Our favourite body lotion for building a stronger skin barrier with raw eczema. The only lotion that stings the least compared to others.
LAROCHE-POSAY LIPIKAR BODY LOTION (400ML)
Playtime
Most of the time your newborn will be contact napping, but here are some things that helped us navigate the wake windows up to 5 months. We still have these and my son still plays with most of these.
My son LOVES this play mat. It promoted kicking and playing and it was great for when he could sit or roll over. We still use these parts, just different ways now
Fisher-Price Glow & Grow Kick & Play Piano Gym
Soft books an absolute must have, my son loves the sound, the colours and loved chewing on this as well. He’s had his since he was a newborn and it’s great to have as it can attach to the car seat.
Disney Mickey Mouse at the Park Soft Book
Diaper care
Some really great things for keeping that bottom clean.
This helped sooo much during nighttime changes so he wouldn’t get shocked and uncomfortable from a cold wipe.
Chefhandy Baby Wipe Warmer, 3-Level Temp Control
Do not sleep on these wipes. They’re the most cost effective wipes I find as they don’t completely destroy my wallet and they are so good for his skin.
Huggies Wipes
The best wipes in my opinion, but they aren’t that wallet friendly. I do buy these when they go on sale.
WaterWipes
My favourite diaper for my son. We rarely get any blowouts since switching to these ones. They’re so soft on the skin and won’t cause any irritation. The Velcro used to secure the diaper isn’t scratchy and will keep the diaper on really well Don’t fo...
Huggies Snug & Dry Diapers Size 2, 234 Ct
