Another inspiration from Barney!

Plush toys are hosts for house dust mites though, wash them in 60 deg C or freeze them! Read doctors’ tips.

Life of Eczema Girl – Lesson from Playdoh

Whose child is a deep thinker like Eczema Girl?
Whose child is a deep thinker like Eczema Girl?

I’m a little inspired about life lessons from child’s play, which explains last week and today’s cartoon, as well as the next few! Which also reminds me of this bible verse: Isaiah 64:8 ‘But now, O LORD, You are our Father, We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand.’

Eczema Cartoonist Mom on Break

I wish I'm really on a break, but no... not really!
I wish I’m really on a break, but no… not really!

I’m away, but not on break.. work work work. I could have drawn up a cartoon for Life of Eczema Girl and scheduled it, but no, I’m thinking since I’m not having a break, I might as well take one off Monday cartoon!

It got me thinking though, not only am I away but not on holiday break, I’m also having to worry about dozens of stuff which tell me if you think the same!

Thoughts on Toddler:

1. What can I do to pre-pack her school bag? What about her show-and-tell? And the lantern and mooncake she has to bring for Mid-Autumn Festival? (for those of you not familiar, check this Chinese’s festival out!)

2. What about her eczema… not much I can do but I’m sure my hubby is more than competent to deal with any flare-up, and good luck to the co-sleeping!

Thoughts on Hubby:

1. His dinner, lunch, dinner, lunch… my latest ‘act of love’ is to prep lunch for my hubby, on top of cooking daily!

Thoughts on Chores:

1. Wash clothes now, get ready school uniforms, heck with the cleaning

Thoughts on You: Anyone miss me? Hope so, won’t be gone for long though, just long enough to take a Monday cartoon break.

Life of Eczema Girl – Night Scheduled Milk Feeding

Night Milk Feeding Eczema Baby
What’s going on during those night feeding?

I don’t know about you, but I struggled so much with milk feeding – from (my own lack of) breast milk, to switching from normal to partially hydrolysed milk, to reflux, to changing milk bottles, gosh… thinking back it’s NIGHTMARISH.

I do think if I’d to start over, one change I’d make is forget about scheduled feeding, my baby and I just need to sleep. Also, later I read it’s better to feed as and when the baby is hungry, but who knows the right way, just take heart that this phase will pass!

The lead eczema girl from last week is at the top left of this cartoon, and fyi, 20% of children have eczema, those who have (I suppose) have a darker world, hotter, crankier…well, we all have to go through life no matter what, we’ll see how it works out for our little eczema girl.

Newborn Eczema Babies room – Inspired by New Yorker Cartoonist Liza Donnelly, from her book ‘When do they Serve the Wine?’

Half a year or so ago (who’s counting when you read cartoons), I came across the cartoon book ‘When do they Serve the Wine?‘, by New Yorker cartoonist Liza Donnelly. I instantly fell in love with it. This cartoon is inspired by Liza’s cartoon, where she drew about the baby boys being on one side and the baby girls on the other.

The lead eczema girl from last week is at the top left of this cartoon, and fyi, 20% of children have eczema, those who have (I suppose) have a darker world, hotter, crankier…well, we all have to go through life no matter what, we’ll see how it works out for our little eczema girl.
