Pediatrician recommended eucerin, but said it had to be in cream form because lotion is too thin for dry skin. Within two days of applying it, from head to toe, DD skin began feeling silky smooth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotion-for-my-los-dry-skin#post-549228 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:56:17 +0000 theknest 549228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been using Babyganics Bye-Bye Dry and it is amazing.

We started using it on M after baths shortly after she was born. It's not a very allergenic substance. But I would reccomend fragrance free. Coconut oil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotion-for-my-los-dry-skin#post-547920 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 00:55:35 +0000 banana 547920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Is coconut oil safe to use on a 6 month old? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotion-for-my-los-dry-skin#post-547788 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 22:12:10 +0000 prettylizy 547788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>another vote for coconut oil </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotion-for-my-los-dry-skin#post-547780 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 22:09:19 +0000 Freckles 547780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also use weleda calendula cream, though we recently have been using the oil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotion-for-my-los-dry-skin#post-547760 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 21:59:39 +0000 betsyboop 547760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: @matador84: Thanks I think I'm going to try the Cetaphil LOTION!

It is lotion...we have the moisturizing one for normal skin. I just rub a dab between my hands and then rub it on LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotion-for-my-los-dry-skin#post-547685 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 21:23:46 +0000 betsyboop 547685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: @matador84: I've heard Cetaphil is great for dryness. Now for the stupid question...do you just slather it on like lotion? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotion-for-my-los-dry-skin#post-547638 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 20:54:29 +0000 hilsy85 547638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cetaphil is what was recommended by our pedi. Aquaphor doesn't actually add any moisture back into the skin, it just provides a barrier, which is probably why it didn't help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotion-for-my-los-dry-skin#post-547555 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 20:01:31 +0000 jetsettermomma 547555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aveeno has been great for my 4 month old's dry skin due to eczema. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotion-for-my-los-dry-skin#post-547534 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 19:48:21 +0000 Weagle 547534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Burt's Bees nourishing lotion works best for us as an everyday lotion.

My LO has dry skin and we use coconut oil on her (and for her hair and diaper changes). We keep it in little jars so depending on the room temperature it will be liquid or solid, but it melts on contact. No stains on clothing from us yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotion-for-my-los-dry-skin#post-547514 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 19:33:25 +0000 travelgirl1 547514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have it in a jar and if I scoop a little onto my fingers it melts from body heat either on my fingers or once it touches A's skin. I honestly haven't noticed any on her clothes. I've just been sat here for half an hour using it to soften and comb off her cradle cap, which is strangely addictive :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotion-for-my-los-dry-skin#post-547507 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 19:23:25 +0000 betsyboop 547507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: I've tried using coconut oil (on myself) in the past but found it was a pain to use because it was in solid form and hard to spread without warming up. Do you warm the bottle with warm water or something first? Also, do you find that the oil stains clothes? I've heard such wonderful things about coconut oil so I feel like I must be using it in the wrong way! Sorry, so many questions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotion-for-my-los-dry-skin#post-547495 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 19:13:18 +0000 travelgirl1 547495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coconut oil! Absolutely love it on my LO, sorts out dry skin, clears up cradle cap, protects against the weather, brilliant stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotion-for-my-los-dry-skin#post-547484 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 18:57:52 +0000 betsyboop 547484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has dry patches on the backs of her arms. I've been putting Aquaphor on them after her baths but it doesn't seem to be helping. Can anyone recommend a good lotion for extremely dry skin? </p>
