I really need to start putting lotion on my LOs more often. We usually just do it after their bath and they only get a bath every other night. They have such dry skin that I think if I put it on them before they get dressed in the morning or at night before pajamas on non-bath nights that it would really help.
Does your LO just get lotion after a bath, or at other times of the day too?

When it's real bad I also do it when we change for the day.

Always after bath. But I keep it on the changing table and use if her legs feel dry!

We do lotion every night before pjs but bath every other night.

@lawbee11: I think I'm going to get into the habit of doing that as well.

Mostly just after baths every night unless they need it more. DD1's eczema flares up in the summer so she needs lotion more often then, for example.

Yeah, usually just at night after his bath. I goop him up with aquaphor on top of his lotion so I don't like to do that during the day. His skin is SO dry though that I should start lotioning him more often!

Every night before pajamas (bath every other night). When eczema is flaring its every morning as well before getting dressed.

Twice a day. I lotion in the morning when I get LO dressed and again at night when we change into pajamas. My LOs have eczema and need to lotion frequently to keep it under control.

Lotion every night before jammies, bath every other night. Doctor said we should be putting lotion on her 2-3x a day since her skin is dry in the winter but I haven't been doing that.

It's sooo dry in our house right now that I try to lather them up when I take them upstairs for naps. It depends how badly they are fighting being on the changing table.

Always after a bath and then as needed. I keep it on the changing table so it's easily accessible if I notice dry skin during diaper changes.
