[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 557677, member: 1514"] You know what Step...you reminded me of something. When Jamie was an infant he had exema. We could not bathe him every day. Under doctors order we could only bathe him twice a week. Now we did keep his diaper area clean using wet wash rags and pouring warm water over that area. We didnt have the money to buy a bunch of wet wipes back then so we saved those for being out on the town. At home I cut up old tee shirts. Very soft. He truly was afraid of the water for the first two years because of only taking those rare few baths. I made the biggest mistake of my life when I was trying to get him used to taking baths and bought him this cool toy that had boats and the marina stuck to the bathtub. In order to make the water turn blue I put calgon into the water. Oh was that a mistake! He came out bright red from the waist down like I had burned him. Like a chemical burn. I was horrified. I rushed him to the doctor and it was the calgon. it was too harsh for his skin. Sheesh. I was so dumb back then. With Keyana we just dunked her in the kitchen sink a couple of times a week. I bit of baby soap and no issues. I just poured water over her with a cup. Made it easier on my back too. [/QUOTE]
