I really worn my shirt inside-out, and didn’t realize till after walking 3 hours in the zoo.
My baby bag is packed with loads of stuff, like ammunition to pull out to distract Marcie from scratching, look inside my bag here.
And I still can’t help but to say “Stop Scratching” to her, but it’s not of much use; read this post to find out why.

p.s. noticed that in my dream, I’m slim and wearing shades – both which I’m not and can’t in reality. Reality – Co-sleeping with my child, getting fat.

I’m guilty of this – Not having the time, not having the mood, getting too pre-occupied with my baby and her eczema and the housework to display affection to my hubby. I created this design for my friend for her marriage vow and this picture of enjoying a drink with my hubby and soaking in his love suddenly hit me today, because I never do it. Parents with eczema children have a tougher time, I’ve even written a post on it here, but maybe you shouldn’t read but take the few seconds to give your spouse a hug!

I remembered that detergent was one area which I received lots of ‘advice’ on, especially when Marcie’s skin was very bad about 7 months old. It’s frustrating, and that’s one of the reason I’ve set up the support group because only parents with eczema children go through all the other stuff that comes with eczema flares.

At the first consultation, Marcie’s doctor Prof Hugo Van Bever of NUH asked if someone in the family has eczema. I started tracing the family tree, and the eczema gene seemed to be mutating more powerfully (as you can see in the family tree, we could only trace to my mother-in-law who only recalled she had mild itchiness when she’s 20 year old. My husband only had localized eczema, and his brother had quite a severe case. Marcie’s eczema is quite bad before she went on the one-time oral steroid course.)
So, you know why I’m even more fearful of having a second child as I’m always thinking that the gene is mutating powerfully. Read this post on sibling eczema.

A gentle note to all moms of eczema and allergy kids, especially those with an allergy to dust mites, don’t kill yourself over the cleaning… as advised by Prof Hugo Van Bever at sneezywheezy.com’s playgroup on Aug 24th, a thin bamboo mattress is best and sunning the pillows and mattress regularly helps to reduce dust mites. Don’t spend too much money on vacuum cleaners, make the home as less attractive for dust mite as possible by not having thick beds or thick curtains. Btw, construction dust is not dust mite as dust mite has to live around people.
