Today is a Backwards edition of WFMW over at Rocks in my Dryer. That means that I get to post a problem that I have, and hopefully someone out there in blog world can help me solve it. I actually have two things going on that I need some help with
Here’s the first issue: Our son Jackson is almost 19 months old. I swore that we would lose his pacifier (also known as “dat”) when he turned 1 year old. Now, 7 months later, he is still firmly attached to his pacifier, and unfortunately, I must admit that I am kinda attached to it also. Does anyone have any advice on how to get rid of the pacifier? I know it’s not going to be fun or easy to lose it, but it needs to go.
The other thing is that Jackson has really bad eczema. We have tried most of the expensive lotions, creams, and baby bath that claim to treat eczema (several from our pediatrician), and they have worked for a little while, but then it comes back again. Is there anything that has worked really well at clearing up eczema for you or your children? His skin was really clear during the summer last year (apparently chlorine water is really good for it), and we are just wanting something to tide us over until swimming season again. The winter weather is killing us!
Thanks for any advice you can offer. I hope you have a great day, and come back to visit me soon!
