And we have gone to a pediatric dermatologist who advised us to not use it every day so we use Vaseline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-cure-for-babys-dry-skin#post-62334 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:37:03 +0000 Rubies 62334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is also 6-months old and has eczema, too, and because of her crazy drooling, her cheeks are often red, raw, and very sore. Nothing was working but as it turns out, *I* wasn't working hard enough. LO's doctor said that her cheeks have to be a "sticky shiny mess of Vaseline" all. day. long. I didn't like putting Vaseline because LO would rub her face and it would get all over her clothes but doctor said it was the only way. Slather, slather, slather! And I have to admit, since Friday her cheeks have been MUCH better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-cure-for-babys-dry-skin#post-62332 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:26:47 +0000 rsp213 62332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea and @Chopsuey119 - thanks for the suggestions! I hadn't heard that Aquaphor could cause allergies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-cure-for-babys-dry-skin#post-62293 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:47:25 +0000 chopsuey 62293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO's skin was getting a little dry and pink so I got some California Baby Calendula cream. Her skin is nice, creamy and soft now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-cure-for-babys-dry-skin#post-62272 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:03:49 +0000 Andrea 62272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would use Vaseline instead or even Crisco. It seems like a lot of people develop allergies to Aquaphor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-cure-for-babys-dry-skin#post-62269 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:01:07 +0000 rsp213 62269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ALittleP: Thanks! I was also considering Aquaphor but I don't have much experience with it for babies so I wasn't sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-cure-for-babys-dry-skin#post-62262 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:52:48 +0000 ALittleP 62262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a LO yet but I've used Aquaphor in the past and it doesn't rub off as easily as other lotions. Hope an experienced mom can answer and help! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-cure-for-babys-dry-skin#post-62253 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:43:15 +0000 rsp213 62253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is six months old and she's in the drooling/teething stage. As a result I've noticed her skin on her left cheek is dry and although I try and put lotion on it, it doesn't seem to be doing the job. I think it's probably because we are constantly wiping all the drool off so the lotion comes off too. Does anyone have any recommendations for something more long-lasting? Thanks! </p>
