Hi
I do use other Weleda products in the baby line. My little one seems to have a tendency toward eczema and any dairy products I ingest sets off a course of bum rashes and break outs on his cheeks both end..lol. I find the Weleda to be a great brand however it is expensive. The the quality can't be compared as there are plant extracts in the creams, soaps and lotions that seem to be beneficial to my son's skin. It has natural healing properties which I like.
On that note, because the products are superior quality I find I have to use very little- in other words a little goes along way. I will continue to use Weleda products as that is the only thing that has worked on his bottom. I was prescribed several creams including corticosteroid and a "magic" diaper rash cream- some concoction that my paed came up with, that had a price tag of 55.00 because it was specially mixed at a local pharmacy- that didn't work. I also used the industrial strength Ihles paste and that kept his skin protected but because of the fact it was not compatible with CDing I was becoming very discouraged. I was alternating between cloth and disposables. The rash on his bottom was isolated to just the one area and looked like a burn- actually blistered and bled at times.
I am finally happy to say (he is 4 months) and he began with the rash at 5 days old we are nearly over it. With out the Weleda I am sure I would have given up entirely, on BF and CDing.
hope that helps
Lisa
