Our pediatrician recommended a lotion called CeraVe. Best stuff ever. As soon as we used it, his skin became baby soft! You can find it on amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-lotion-for-baby#post-98306 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:19:17 +0000 sandy 98306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use cetaphil cream lotion (it comes in a tub).</p> <p>I have super sensitive skin and it's what my deatologist recommends and the pediatrician also recommended it for my baby girls. </p> <p>She sometimes gets dryness and redness on her checks and chin from nursing and drooling an the cetaphil definitely helps :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-lotion-for-baby#post-98092 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 10:43:34 +0000 Andrea 98092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Vaseline works wonders!! No issues with LO's face anymore. Hope it works!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-lotion-for-baby#post-98089 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 10:35:13 +0000 chopsuey 98089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used California Bably Calendula cream! I actually haven't put anything on her face recently though. It's warm and humid here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-lotion-for-baby#post-98087 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 10:32:58 +0000 autumnlove 98087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I need to buy some good old Vaseline! The Aquaphor isn't working well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-lotion-for-baby#post-88212 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 09:04:16 +0000 sunshine44 88212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: for now we use Cetaphil excema cream for infants. Seems to work quite well, but I think Vasoliine may be ur best option! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-lotion-for-baby#post-88191 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 08:09:05 +0000 Rubies 88191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO had the same problem and as it turns out, she has eczema. At its worst, her cheeks can get red, raw, start peeling and even bleed (gah!). We slather Vaseline like it's going out of business (and also because LO swipes it off with her sleeve and we have to keep slathering). If it's REALLY bad, then we resort to our prescribed hydrocortisone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-lotion-for-baby#post-88185 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 08:04:59 +0000 looch 88185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to bathe my LO in olive oil and milk, the midwife also recommended using it for chapped skin, his or mine.</p> <p>If the smell is too strong, you can always try rapsoil, not sure what the english word is, but it's an oil made from yellow flowering plants.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-lotion-for-baby#post-88151 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 06:00:47 +0000 MegWag 88151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any other ideas on this ladies?<br /> My son's getting chapped lips and chin from bfing.<br /> I'm specifically interested in natural products/remedies. From a little research, it seems like olive oil might be a good idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-lotion-for-baby#post-75601 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:01:57 +0000 anbanan15 75601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea: I rarely use Aquaphor, but when our pedi first mentioned it to use I felt DS was reacting to it. After reading your comment I'm more inclinded to say he really was!</p> <p>@cupcakemama: I've heard that about J&amp;J products! Aveeno is owned by them as well, I think, so I would hesitate to use them as well. It's more of a wind burn type dry, red skin. It also gets worse when he is reacting to a food, but I've noticed a change with the colder weather. I sometimes put Grandma El's diaper rash cream on them which does seem to help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-lotion-for-baby#post-75334 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:33:01 +0000 cupcakemama 75334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't use anything and I think were recommended not to use anything. A baby's skin shouldn't be dried out, if it is maybe look at the bath products you are using. The only time we have had issues is when we used Johnson &amp; Johnson stuff. Apparently it is equivelant to dishwashing liquid! Eek! We used Moo Goo, a cream we had to treat LO's cradle cap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-lotion-for-baby#post-75287 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:13:11 +0000 Andrea 75287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Vaseline. About Aquaphor, I keep reading that over-use can lead to allergies so I switched to Vaseline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/face-lotion-for-baby#post-75283 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:06:08 +0000 anbanan15 75283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you use on LO's face, specifically their dry chapped cheeks? Any suggestions on a mild, hypoallergenic face lotion (we need to avoid oatmeal, as well as an entire list of other things)?</p> <p>We use either California Baby or Aquaphor all over DS (body and face) but he screams when it hits his cheeks/face. I'm thinking it burns his chapped cheeks! I try to warm it up in my hands before applying so I don't think it's a temperature issue. </p>
