The creation of AlmaRose came from a personal inspiration to fill a void that wasn’t there. My husband and I always knew that we wanted children and in February of 2011, we learned that our family was growing! Beyond excited we started thinking of all of the things that most first time parents think of.
To sum it up, we couldn’t be happier! Through casual conversation while surfing the net for a purse, it dawned on me that I just might want to start searching for a diaper bag.
During my initial search, I noticed a very slim selection of what I could potentially see myself carrying. As a new mom who realized that so much was going to change in my life, I wanted to maintain some sense of style while still being practical.
Moreover, I wanted a bag that I didn’t have to convert from a purse to a diaper bag. Just like me (and every other mom), my bags should have their own identity and make a statement!
The Power of Cortisone!
I am completely guilty of being that mom who has been extremely picky (like most moms) when it comes to products for my baby. If the title didn’t have the word “baby” followed by the word “organic”, I didn’t want it! Well when it comes to the well being of my child, I just had to get over myself! Don’t get me wrong, there are some excellent baby products out there and I still use them, but I have found the power of CORTISONE!
As written in one of my previous blog entries, we’ve been working with my son’s cradle cap. Since that last entry we’ve still been following that regimen, but I’ve started to apply the maximum strength Cortisone with 1% Hydrocortisone anti-itch cream. Since I’ve been using it, I’ve noticed that he doesn’t dig and scratch in his head nearly as much. The secret to making sure it works is to be aggressive with the application for 3 to 4 days and then discontinue the use of it for 4 to 7 days. What you may find is that you may not have to reapply right away after those 4 to 7 days are up. You may just need to apply as needed. I’ve also had success with using cortisone for diaper rash and helping with his eczema. Oh and another thing, don’t feel like you have to buy the most expensive brand of cortisone. I’ve been using the generic CVS brand and because of the success I’ve had with it, I don’t want to use anything else.
As always, please consult your baby’s physician before trying anything new or to help your comfort level. This is just a little tidbit that I learned and wanted to make sure that I shared it in hopes of helping!
