Shots, Exzema, and Asthma Posted: 05-18-07 13:03pm


Reese's 6 month appointment was two days ago but... he was .j.u.s.t under 19lbs . he's growing quick and fast! he got two shots, one in each leg. the nurse who gave him his shot told me that it was her first time giving a baby at his age a shot. and he made her feel like dog doo... he screamed and was fine then screamed and was okish but whimperd abit. then he got his bottle... sad thing.... he's got exema i feel so bad about it, because it sucks and i know he got it from my side of the family. now im scared he'll have asthma because excema and asthma go togeather as a package normally

My four year old has had eczema since he was about the same age as your little one. Luckily for us, he doesn't have the asthma to go along with it, so there is something to give you hope that Reese won't either. I know you said that it runs in your family, but if you ever need any tips on dealing with it, I'll be glad to help. Chrissy

what did he weigh at his last appointment? it sounds like he's evening out a bit, i thought he'd weigh more. finn was 18.5 pounds at 4 1/2 months, so i'm expecting him to be around 21 at his appointment. that's too bad about the eczema, hopefully he won't get asthma. i didn't know those had anything to do with each other.

i have both excema and asthma, i always knew they went togeather and my docs always tell me if you have excema asthma normally follows. they said you can have asthma and not get excema but asthma is something that commenly follows the excema, so im worried. they both suck majorly

the doc just told me to put moisterizor on it or vasiline, and if it gets inflamed to take him back to the doc and they'll proscribe him some steroid cream
