First bottle and eczema

Since I'm headed back to work on April 2nd we decided to go ahead and give CJ a bottle in case he didn't take to it well. That way we'd have time to get him used to it. It was NOT a problem. I guess he figured it tasted the same as mommy so who cares.

Also, we thought he had baby acne (as you can see in the pictures), but it kept getting worse so I took him to the doctor today and it turns out he has eczema that has gotten infected. We had to put him on an antibiotic and we are hoping that will clear it up. We are also hoping it is not a food allergy (through the breast milk).






Poor baby! I took this picture to be able to compare it when we go back to the doctor this week. Luckily it doesn't seem to be bothering him.

I remember Whit having a bad case of baby acne when he was around 6-8 weeks old...it went away eventually but it was awful to see my little baby with it!! can't wait to see you guys next week.
