she doesn't have very dry skin, but, i use milk bath (baby magic) when I bathe her, and I have a humidifier running in the house 24/7

i seriously think that the humidifier is the reason why she is ok here in this weather.....

I use aquaphor bath every other day, but if i put sunscreen on her, then i do that day. I also wipe her down every morning and night.

I just bought arbonne (sp?) but havent officially used yet.

I also lather her up with aquaphor ointment. I had brought her to dermatologist and this is what they told me to use on her.

When i used aveeno she would get bad outbrakes and i would have to use hydrocortizone cream. I havent had to use the hydro since using aquaphor.

Cetaphil wash, Cetaphil lotion, and Burt's Bee's for hair. If he is not having a bad flare up I will use Burt's Bees on body and Burt's lotion.

Dove soap. That's what the ped recommended. I lather him up with Cetaphil cream after each bath. It has worked wonders on his skin.

Steven has Eczema, and I tried a bunch of different lotions.

Well, he now has eczema in his diaper area Chat Icon So I was reading that you should put Olive Oil in the bath and it will help moisturize and "seal" the skin. Well, I did it last night and felt the difference on hsi skin already. Not greasy at all! And I didn't put any other lotion on him and this morning, he was still hydrated and some of his "patches" were gone Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Before I had her eczema until control I used Cetaphil (the liquid one even though it says for oily skin it didn't dry out her skin like the bar soap did) soap and then I would aquaphor 2-4 times a day depending how dry her skin was. Now that it is gone I use Huggies baby wash and Huggies lotion. Sometimes if I feel it is getting a little drier then I use cetaphil cream and then twice a week I use aquaphor.

The ONLY thing that made it go away was - well there are two things, but one is really $$$( Arbonne products) so I go with the Target version of the Cetaphil wash and lotion.

I have two sensitive skin eczema babies, after many many baby washes, baby creams, i finally listened to my doc and i use dove soap-regular dove soap.

It cut my dd's eczema flare up in half, i dont have to use hydrocortizone on her as much and i don't even have to use lotion all the time.

Dh and I have ssensitive dry skin ourselves and we use dove soap, don't know why i didn't use it sooner.

My girls only get 2 baths a week during the cooler months, and 3 during the warm ones.

We use these exact products. Our ped recommended them and he has not had a flare since.

I use all Aveeno products on Kaila. The diaper rash creme is really good, her rash goes away within a day. She also has dry skin so I use the bath wash and the lotion
