cradle cap/ ring worm

Hi
No its not ring worm. Having had to miss swimming all term and put up with large bandages on his leg I went back and saw a diff doc. This one said there was no way it was ring worm but didnt really give me any idea what it was. This year it seems more isolated to just the one leg and a small spot on his face, where last year it was spreading. I think I will have to insist I see the dermatologist at the hospital to get it completely cleared. I'm not sure T Tree oil would help.

If its moist tea tree oil will dry it out some plus its anti-bacterial which gets rid of fungus. Can u post a pic of it? Does it only happen around a certain time of year...does anything aggrivate it?

Taking Away "The Binky"

Need ideas for taking away the Binky. My girlfriend just took her son to the "Build A Bear" store and they put it inside the bear and had him closed up. Now he can carry the bear with him and take him to bed for naps and bedtime. This is "Cold Turkey" and not sure how it will go. Would love to hear all your ideas.

I did all my kids cold turkey. One was kind of hard tho and with him I cut the ends off of them and he didnt want them anymore. Guess it kind of depends on how old your child is. Mine were young (all before 1) so it wasnt that big of a deal. Older ones may be a little harder.

Does your child just use it when going to bed? If not I would start there. When I took my son off the binky I slowly did by bedtime 1st then only at night then I had him pick out a "big boy" blanket and now he sleeps with his blanket but it doesn't leave his room.
Good Luck!

I did it cold turkey, too. When my oldest son was 18 months old, we just took it away one morning. We made a deal of it, though. We 'said byebye' to his soother and I had him put it in the garbage (it was at the point where it was time to throw it out, anyway). He cried for it a little bit at naptime, but other than that he doesn't miss it. Of course, my son only ever had it for naptime and bedtime so it wasn't that big a deal for him. My youngest is 6 months old and likes his soother a LOT more than his brother did and I think I may have more problems taking his away when it's time. :P
I like the Build-A-Bear option, though. That seems like a nice thing to do, although I would make sure I had washed and re-sterilized the soother before sewing it up inside the bear. :)
If your child is really attached to his/her soother (ie, uses it a lot and not just for napping and sleeping), then you might want to wean him/her off it a bit more slowly. Try by starting to only give it to him/her for naptime or bedtime. If he/she cries for it during the day, calmly tell them that the soother is for sleeping, but DON'T let them have it other than for sleep. After a little while (could be a couple days or a few weeks, depending on your child and how easy it was to take it away from them during non-sleep times), you should be able to take it away completely.

I havn't tried tea tree oil for cradle cap yet, but another good use for tea tree oil is head lice. I used this on my 5 year old dauhter and myself (and I have alot of hair) and it worked great! Make sure its diluted, then use a lice comb to get the nits out. Then its recommended to repeat this treatment a week later.
