Endorsements: Eczema and Shoes

2 of my triplets has eczema, and one of them has it so very severely that it covers her shoulders, belly, back, and thighs. We have tried EVERYTHING from home remedy's to prescription medication. NOTHING has worked....until I found a miracle in a bottle. Shikai has a product called Borage for Children, and it has made a HUGE difference in our lives. It's relatively pricey compared to other lotions....but it's SO WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!! Delaney's eczema is fading and her skin is FINALLY BABY SMOOTH!!! She's not itchy, and the patches that made her look diseased are almost gone. We bought ours at Wegman's, but if you are not fortunate enough to live near the best grocery store in the world...HERE is the website.

By now, most people have learned of soft soled shoes. I call them sock-keeper-on'ers. They are marvelous little leather shoes that do not impede foot development, and allow you to let your child walk barefoot, as nature intended, without losing socks.....or getting your kid's feet dirty. I have been buying shoes from a company on EBay since Reagan was a baby. They are CHEAP, and well made. Don't spend $20, $30, or more on a pair of shoes your baby will out grow in a few months. I will attest to the reputation of this seller. They are based in Canada, so you may have to wait an extra day or 2 for delivery. They ship SO lightning fast that I have never noticed the delay at all. OH, and they are CUTE!!!! See this EBay store HERE.
