[quote=Anonymous]I had a very itchy baby! He has lots of seasonal allergies but no food allergies. He's been on daily claritin or zrytec since about 3 years old. Before that we'd stop for a bit until I realized he just needs to be on it all the time for his symptoms to be better. Like the PP said, we used cortisone which helped a lot. I was very anxious about using the least amount possible, but once it cleared up some of his worst spots I realize it was worse to have him so itchy. Only one thing I'll point out: bamboo cotton is a type of polyester with a different name. Maybe try 100% cotton. Also, what worked best for my itchy baby was mostly TIME. By the time he was over a year old he was better. We still have to rinse off every single day and change his sheet frequently. But sometimes I forget he was so itchy until I look back at all his baby pictures with his scalp SLICK with vaseline and a burp cloth under his greasy head :). [/quote]
