Hi there

Wowee- looks like a great tip ( I might use it for the diaper area!)

Glad that things are sorting themselves out, hopefully it should be

straightforward from here on in.

Hi Lea,

I am so glad Abigeal is better!

And thanks for the tip with the lanolin. It worked wonders for me

during the first painful weeks of breastfeeding, so I'm not

surprised it can help your little one.

All the best,

It has been several days now and the Lanolin is working great! I just

can't believe that I was using harsh steriods and perscription creams

with minimal inprovement and something as simple as this was our

cure!

She is still doing terrific. When I take the band off for her hour

of time, I give her a bath and then I lather her forehead with

Lanolin. Once that soaks in (which does take some time) I put the

band back on. She doesn't even need it anymore, but I fear a return

of that terrible rash, so I will just keep doing it.

You guys are great. Thanks for all the support.
