I WOULD RESTRAIN FROM GIVING ANY BABY AS YOUNG AS YOURS ANY MEDICINES EVEN NATURALS.AS YOU WELL KNOW MANY MEDICINES DERIVE FROM PLANTS AND SO ,BUT YOU CAN GET INTOXICATED WITH THEM ALSO. I HAVE A GRAND SON WITH ECZEMA , VERY SEVERE AS AN INFANT,THE TYPE THAT IT LOOKED AT TIMES LIKE SOMEBODY BURN HIM WITH A CIGARRETE.THIS IS WHAT I FOUND OUT:JUST USE COTTON , NOTHING ELSE,NO COLLARDS, NO THICK SEAMS, LATER ON NO POCKETS ON HIS PANTS OR HE WILL SCRATCH WITH THEM,MANY OF THE JHONSON PRODUCTS WERE NOT GOOD FOR HIM,HE WAS ALSO ALERGIC TO THE BABY OIL,ETC. CLEANINGNESS IS THE NAME OF THE GAME TO PREVENT INFECTION,WE USED STCKINGS THE TYPE THE ORTHOPEDIC DOCTORS USE BEFORE THEY APPLY A CAST OR OVER IT.(BABIES SIZE) BEFORE THAT TO APPLY GOOD OLD EUCERIN ) IF YOU NEED AN ESPECIFIC QUESTION ANSWER ME OTHER WISE DONT WOORY I KNOW HOW BUSY YOU ARE. GOOD LUCK. LAURA
