We just buy whatever is listed as raw. I get it at our local health food store.

It has totally cleared up LOs eczema. Little greasy but totally worth it. If I use anything else instead, the dry patches are back the next day. I use it after baths and before PJs every night. yoursilverlining on "How often do you lotion LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-lotion-lo/page/2#post-1146697 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 11:56:56 +0000 yoursilverlining 1146697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She gets lotioned every night after her bath. LO loves lotion-time - she holds out her hands for lotion and puts it on her legs herself (doesn't rub it in well yet) and then demands more lotion for her tummy. In the fall/winter, I also dab some of my very gentle and rich skincare cream on her face, which keeps it nice and soft all day.

We will get a humidifier, but the heat isn't on yet. @mrsjazz: thanks for the rec!

The times I do bath time I use coconut oil. mrsjazz on "How often do you lotion LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-lotion-lo#post-1146201 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 19:54:31 +0000 mrsjazz 1146201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @bpcmarj: Have you tried shea butter? Coconut oil wasn't heavy/thick enough for our LO's dry skin. Shea butter has been awesome. I also second the humidifier recommendation from @locavore_mama: regberadaisy on "How often do you lotion LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-lotion-lo#post-1146142 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 19:01:30 +0000 regberadaisy 1146142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @bpcmarj: what about aquaphor? Do you have a humidifier for her room? bpcmarj on "How often do you lotion LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-lotion-lo#post-1146134 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 18:50:39 +0000 bpcmarj 1146134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @boots: same here. P is a scratcher. She is literally covered in self inflicted scratches. Ped says she has dry skin. So, we bathe her less, but I put coconut oil on her body and limbs before bed, and earth mama angel baby nipple butter on her face. I am nervous about how dry she sill be this winter :( I get red and raw from the dry heat, I imagine she will be the same. deerylou on "How often do you lotion LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-lotion-lo#post-1146073 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 18:06:51 +0000 deerylou 1146073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I apply lotion after her bath, so about every other night. mrsjazz on "How often do you lotion LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-lotion-lo#post-1146069 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 18:01:53 +0000 mrsjazz 1146069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Her legs get lotion every morning and night. The rest of her body just in the mornings. Weird, but her little legs just soak up every bit of lotion.

Right now, he's obsessed with the bottles-Johnson & Johnson. In the morning, we use the pink bottle. At night, we use the purple bottle. He loves it as part of his routine. regberadaisy on "How often do you lotion LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-lotion-lo#post-1145695 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:55:19 +0000 regberadaisy 1145695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @swurlygurl: LO doesn't have dry skin so I do it more as a preventative measure. Especially in the winter because we get harsh, cold sub zero temperatures! And yes, it does get awfully dry in the winter so the extra moisture certainly can't hurt! I can see how it's not as necessary if you barely get a winter. ;) MsLipGloss on "How often do you lotion LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-lotion-lo#post-1145690 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:53:25 +0000 MsLipGloss 1145690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Smurfette: I can certainly see his logic there! regberadaisy on "How often do you lotion LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-lotion-lo#post-1145689 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:53:24 +0000 regberadaisy 1145689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LOL for the most part I can distract her by letting her play with a clean diaper, acting crazy, singing, etc. The worst is when she keeps flipping for her wipes!

Do you all do it because LO needs it, or to prevent dry skin? I can see how I might need to do it in the winter since the cold can be so dry Smurfette on "How often do you lotion LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-lotion-lo#post-1145685 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:52:44 +0000 Smurfette 1145685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @hilsy85: @MsLipGloss: DH has outlawed the purchase of any more sleepers that aren't zippers.

She has never had dry skin! When she was a baby it was part of her bed time routine, but that stopped around 10 or 11 months when she got too squirmy for lotion and massage. hilsy85 on "How often do you lotion LO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-lotion-lo#post-1145654 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 13:42:49 +0000 hilsy85 1145654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Smurfette: ugh extending the misery!
