My baby had slightly rough skin so I decided to apply a moisturiser. I started with Johnson's baby moisturiser but have since learnt about all the parabens etc. I then tried calendula from weleda which I found sticky. Finally I have just tried pure coconut oil and it has actually made dry patches on his skin. I have now read applying a oil, can make some body's think they don't need to make their own oil. Hence dry patches. Can anyone recommend a cream?

I use castor oil & a couple of drops of lavender essential oil & it's lovely on my 11 months' skin.

My boy has eczema, and (after much trial and error) its mostly deal with via Oilatum bath oil and Aveeno moisturiser. We get them on prescription, although both are available in the pharmacy. Also don' tbath too often - we were advised once/twice a week, just wipe with a wet flannel if mucky in the meantime.
Hi - not really difficult to get on prescription once you have seen the right doctor and figured out what works - I now have a permanent repeat. He's been at DMC since birth when it became apparent (he is now seven). They prescribed various creams/bath things etc etc and we gradually worked out what worked for us over a period of a couple of years (thankfully with the lovely Dr Sathia - some of the others were useless). Once we had it figured out we got a repeat prescription and have a six montlhy review unless there is a bad flare up in the meantime (although I also hold steroid cream for use if it does).

Me too, very gentle :) also like Aveeno but not really necessary if you don't suffer from eczema. I would prob say try natural product like olive oil or failing that E45 or similar. Health Matters on Lordship lane stock some very gentle baby products too which I always have found expensive but worthwhile.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
