We do both vaseline (Dr. recommended) and lotion/cream right after bath and LO screams bloody murder. But he has super dry skin and eczema so it's not optional. I dream of a soothing lotion massage that he would love .... not happening :( Any tips?? He's so so so dry.

After every bath! LO seems to be pretty indifferent to the lotion/mini massage . . . she get slightly annoyed when I lotion her arms because she is usually playing with something, and when I do her arms she has to go to all the trouble of switching the toy to the other hand/arm - lol! She seems to like when I do her legs and feet though. I do it because the air conditioning runs pretty much around the clock and it can be extra drying to skin . . . and baby skin loses moisture faster than more mature skin. littlebug on "Is lotion a part of your LO's after bath routine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lotion-a-part-of-your-los-after-bath-routine#post-918934 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 09:58:27 +0000 littlebug 918934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Every night, bath or not, D gets a little massage with Burts Bees lotion. Usually he loves it. I sing a lullaby to him, too, and he kind of sings along with me, now. But if he's extra tired or hungry, it's a scream fest.

While I am applying I always say the word "Lotion" repeatedly in a French accent (LohhhhhSHON!) and she thinks it is the most hilarious thing.

If she's into it, we have a little massage. If she's getting fussy, it's a quick application and then off to bed.

After bathtime....she used to not like it but I think she now enjoys the little baby massage I give her with lotion! Plus, the Mum and Bub lotion we use is so delicious smelling....I sneak some of it on myself when I'm done with her. :-) mrsjyw on "Is lotion a part of your LO's after bath routine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lotion-a-part-of-your-los-after-bath-routine#post-918848 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 09:24:51 +0000 mrsjyw 918848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ yep! after bath time, we dipe cream, dipe, and lotion/massage/aquaphor :) mrsjazz on "Is lotion a part of your LO's after bath routine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lotion-a-part-of-your-los-after-bath-routine#post-918759 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:57:07 +0000 mrsjazz 918759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep! It's part of her bath and morning routine. I can't imagine not moisturizing her skin in some way after a bath. We used to use coconut oil, now we just use lotion. Have to keep her ash free. blackbird on "Is lotion a part of your LO's after bath routine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lotion-a-part-of-your-los-after-bath-routine#post-918722 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:50:50 +0000 blackbird 918722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes! But she likes it and laughs every time we put it on her. It helps her eczema LuLu Mom on "Is lotion a part of your LO's after bath routine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lotion-a-part-of-your-los-after-bath-routine#post-918618 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:24:53 +0000 LuLu Mom 918618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes we do lotion at bath. I stopped in the mornings though beacuse she's such a squirmy little girl these days :) littlebittyhouse on "Is lotion a part of your LO's after bath routine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lotion-a-part-of-your-los-after-bath-routine#post-918583 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:16:11 +0000 littlebittyhouse 918583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ we do :) he loves his nightly baby massage! we've been doing it since he was born! edelweiss on "Is lotion a part of your LO's after bath routine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lotion-a-part-of-your-los-after-bath-routine#post-918409 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 07:25:32 +0000 edelweiss 918409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ we used to, but he didn't seem a fan--he would get really squirmy and sometimes would start fussing towards the end. so now i sometimes lotion him with one hand while i'm nursing, or if my husband is there to read the bedtime stories, i'll sneak in some lotion then (but only if he has dry patches--otherwise i've been skipping it completely). i had all these idyllic visions of lovingly massaging my cooing and happy baby with lotion after a bath every night. so not the case.

She doesn't like it but it's over quickly. LittleFox on "Is lotion a part of your LO's after bath routine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lotion-a-part-of-your-los-after-bath-routine#post-918283 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 06:29:04 +0000 LittleFox 918283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We apply regular cetaphil, the kind from the tub, because otherwise he dries out and has eczema patches. He loves bath time, but hates lotion, diapering, and dressing afterward.

It is part of my routine when I shower. I love DS skin bring so soft plus it helps calm him down for bed.

Otherwise, they don't seem to need it. lamariniere on "Is lotion a part of your LO's after bath routine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lotion-a-part-of-your-los-after-bath-routine#post-918176 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 02:41:41 +0000 lamariniere 918176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I only do in the winter when DS's skin is very dry. He doesn't mind it though.

It hypnotizes him. It's amazing! He'd be fine without the lotion too. Mrs. High Heels on "Is lotion a part of your LO's after bath routine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lotion-a-part-of-your-los-after-bath-routine#post-918089 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 00:03:38 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 918089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We do! DD has dry skin, and eczema patches on her booty so we have to make sure her skin is well hydrated. We're lazy about lotion with DS though, but he doesn't seem to need it. My husband NEVER applies lotion and has baby soft skin. How is that fair?! mynoahbear on "Is lotion a part of your LO's after bath routine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lotion-a-part-of-your-los-after-bath-routine#post-918069 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 23:38:36 +0000 mynoahbear 918069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes if I can get her to stay still long enough for me to put it on her. katsupgirl on "Is lotion a part of your LO's after bath routine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lotion-a-part-of-your-los-after-bath-routine#post-918003 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 23:10:10 +0000 katsupgirl 918003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yup that's the only time I remember to put lotion on her.

I can manage to sneak my hands in to put lotion on and keep him snuggled in the warm towel at the same time. He doesn't even notice! Try it :) birdofafeather on "Is lotion a part of your LO's after bath routine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lotion-a-part-of-your-los-after-bath-routine#post-917991 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 23:02:09 +0000 birdofafeather 917991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ we do coconut oil massage, then bath, then lotion! not every night, but most that we do baths. shopaholic on "Is lotion a part of your LO's after bath routine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lotion-a-part-of-your-los-after-bath-routine#post-917960 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 22:43:03 +0000 shopaholic 917960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We also do a mini massage with coconut oil after baths. If she seems really dry or has bumps, I do a thin layer of Aquaphor on those spots. I think K likes it though! aprk on "Is lotion a part of your LO's after bath routine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-lotion-a-part-of-your-los-after-bath-routine#post-917938 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 22:36:13 +0000 aprk 917938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We do a mini massage with California Baby calming lotion. It's part of our bedtime routine and I think he loves it!
