About the Blog Author
City girl moves to the country, falls in love, and marries a farmer. She tries to incorporate her city ways with her new country lifestyle and blogs to keep in touch with friends, family & students who live far, far away :) Can this city girl go country? Watch as she learns all sorts of exciting things about life on the farm and in a small rural community. *UPDATE* We are now parents! Our baby girl was born on Nov. 11, 2008 (at 28 weeks gestation- 12 weeks premature, but she's quite the trooper)!!!

I agree, Chris - Telehealth Ontario is an amazing service! I've used it on a few different occasions, for my two boys and for myself. And I've never had to wait to speak with anyone, and it's free!
I'm curious about the Ivory soap - I have eczema and I had really awful psoriasis on my hands after Kai was born - and my derm told me not to use any thing scented, including Ivory. She suggested either Dove unscented/sensitive, or Lever 2000 has an unscented bar for sensitive skin as well. For laundry detergent, she said to use something like Tide Free. I had to use unscented, chemical free shampoo as well since it was on my hands ( it actually made my hair look great! I still use it! )
There is an amazing product in the health food store called Gator Balm. I used the steroid creams for months and months with no effect - until I started using the gator balm. It made a huge difference - I eventually stopped using the steroid cream and only used the gator balm, and my hands cleared up. It also helped clear up my nanny's baby's eczema too. I would be happy to post some to you if his impetigo doesn't go away!

That would be great. Thanks for telling me about the Gator Balm! The attending doctor told us that Dove would be a good choice, because it's mild. She said anything with fragrances would irritate the kid's skin. Her recommendations were Dove or Ivory. She said it has to be the Classic "Pure" Ivory though. The classic, 99 44/100% pure formula
contains no heavy perfumes or lotions. However, I'm going to look into it a bit more, now that you've mentioned your dermatologist's suggestions.
Thanks for sharing! I'd hate to send this student back home to his country looking like a disaster!
We've used Telehealth Ontario for our kids as well. It's really useful and like JetBaby we didn't have to wait on the line at all either. The nurses were all very helpful and very nice. I highly reccommend this service to all parents (or anyone who has medical questions about any number of health issues).
Thanks for posting Chrissy. It's good that people are aware of free servies and good services to boot!
You never answered my question though. Are you guys passing through Toronto on your way to Elisha's baby shower in Montreal in two weeks? Or are you going straight to Monteal? Let me know because I'd like to meet up. This once a year visits just don't work for me! Heh Heh!
