My baby has got heat rash and the paed prescribed some medication that contains steroids. I wasn’t too keen to use it but when nothing else worked, I had to apply it on him. But to our delight, in just 3 days, his face cleared up of the raw redness.
Now we are applying Sebamed Protective Facial Cream on him to keep the heat rash away. It was also recommended by the paed as it is a safe product to use even if baby happens to consume it.
His body has got some minor heat rash too and for this, we are applying the Sebamed Baby Cream. My cousin’s baby who was suffering from milk rash applied this and it helped the rash from recurring.
She also recommended me to use the Sebamed Baby Wash. She used it on her 4-month old baby and has noticed that his skin is really soft and nice. Since then, she started to use the same on her 3 year-old daughter too.
Sebamed seems like a life-saver, doesn’t it?

I read in some emails that when a child coughs and has trouble sleeping, it helps if you rub some Vicks Vaporub. Usually, it is rubbed on the chest and back. But this tip says to rub it at the sole on the feet and put on some socks afterwards.
When I was heavily pregnant and had trouble sleeping (as most pregnant women do at some point), I resorted to this tip to see if it works on me. It did! The only thing that bothered me was when I removed the socks in the mornings and my feet felt sticky to the floor.

Today I just received my very first parenting book. It’s a gift and a pretty useful one. The book is called What To Expect The First Year. Don’t let the thickness of the book put you off, it’s actually a very interest read and informative too.
I shall be sharing some tips every now and then on this blog from what I’ve learned from the book. Stay tuned!
