21 Month Son Has Dry Patches/small Bumps on Skin

My son was born with tiny bumps on the back of his arms (like mommy). Now, his back is so dry and after bath, the skin on his back turns very red. I use johnson & johnson head to toe soap-free wash and use A LOT of lotion to sooth his dry patches on back. The doctor told me it was excema on his arms so we reguarly use cream for that too. He does not scratch or act bothered but the redness after a bath and the dryness concerns me. Any ideas?

She doesn't act like it is hurting her much, but it really looks...

7 Month Old Not Sleeping Well

My son just turned 7 months this week and I am still having to get up repeatedly almost every night. I cannot figure out what works and what doesn't when it comes to us all getting a good night's rest. I have tried doing the routine of bath, lotion, bottle, brushing of teeth, and book, but I haven't noticed a difference. He takes a pacifier and many times that seems to be the culprit of his awakening, wanting his pacifier. Should I work on taking it away? Other times he fusses until we finally pick him up and many times it leads to him...
