...But I can't be silent!

Your baby's well-being is so important!


Be noisy about your baby! Speak loudly! Ask grandmothers; babushkas; omas.

Go to several healthcare practitioners, pediatricians, baby doctors. Ask nurses who look after babies; amahs; nannies.

Speak to everyone who has ever looked after babies, and get their opinions, but make no changes in your baby's care until you have more information...MUCH more information!

You are the mother! You are the momma bear! You are in charge! You love your baby best!



About Humaworm itching cream...I only know that it is HOT on sensitive, tender skin.

I use lots of olive oil, first, on tender skin; and I have mixed a tiny bit of this ointment with olive oil.

Humaworm ointment, cream, is wonderful for my dry skin and for my rashes, but I don't know if it is good for babies.


Perhaps just a little olive oil would help.


Or, you could try bathing the area with a 1% solution of ancient crystal mineral salts in clean water, as 'salty'-tasting as tears.

This solution is very much like the amniotic fluid baby was in before birth.


This is YOUR baby, you have every right to hear every opinion in your community..AND to decide for yourself what is best.

That is what mothers are for! ...To protect and care for their babies.


I hope my English is good enough for you to understand. Ask others to translate it, too.

Every mother needs a support team. Find yours!

Hi there,

Fledgling offered some really good advice to you. I wanted to also make a suggestion which is to use coconut oil. Coconut oil is perfectly safe to use on babies and it is very healing and effective against dry itchy skin. It's also antiviral, antibacterial, antifungus so it will come in handy when your baby has a diaper rash.

Just wanted to offer that to you...good luck!

The HW cream is very good, but I think this one is even better for a baby:

Miracle Salve is very soothing. Humaworm has stronger oils for infections that might be more irritating for a baby's skin.

Coconut oil didn't work on my child. It became dry and red after I put it on her skin. It doesn't work for everyone. If the rash continues, either your baby is allergic to something, or she is missing something that she needs, and it's probably an oil or fat that you are missing. Are you nursing? Both of you would be helped by taking flax oil. Give it a try if nothing else helps. I started giving my daughter fresh flax oil, 1 spoon a day, and I also rubbed some on her dry, red skin. It healed in just a few days.
