Do you put lotion on your LO?
DD is 9 months old and we've never had to lotion her up. I noticed her cheeks were a bit flushed and dry today (we went out twice) so I put some lotion on her cheeks.
All we had was some J&J so I used that, but I want something more natural for her. Thinking of picking up some California Baby everyday lotion w/ Calendula..
Do you lotion your LO? If so, what do you use?

I use cetaphil moisturizing cream for my son's body and face. You could also use EMAB's Natural Nipple Butter. It is great for things like that.

Yep I put lotion on her everyday! We love the liveclean product line, its 99%plant based and also smells amazing! Currently she has a bout of excema so we are using cetaphil cream to treat it. I find her skin stays really soft when I lotion her.

We use the Aveeno lotions. They have a nice-smelling nighttime one and a special one for eczema, too.

We have to use Cetaphil lotion because of my daughter's eczema. I use that all over and then put the California baby lotion you mentioned on it her eczema spots. For your LO's cheeks, I would put Vaseline on them. I do that every morning before we go out.

We didn't really use lotion on RJ until recently because he didn't really need it. I'd put aquaphor on his cheeks and in other spots where he had dry skin. Now we lotion him up every night with aveeno because his skin's getting drier. Rob Sr. has fantastic skin in general, but he has some dry skin patch problems so I'm pretty sure RJ has it too.

I lotion LO down twice a day to keep her eczema at bay (I'm a poet!).
I use Spectro Kids moisturizing lotion all over her body and face and then top her face up with Aquaphor. I also use California Baby Calendula cream that doesn't exist in Canada but @Yin sent it to me! I treat it like gold! It's light, smells lovely, and isn't sticky. And sometimes I also use Eucerin cream.

We use Aveeno and put it on him daily. He has eczema so we try to keep him well moisturized.

What is this california baby cream, and why is it so great? I'm curious to know if its better than the cetaphil I use?

@sunshine44: When I see you next I'll give you some. It's really awesome...Although, I've actually never used Cetaphil so I don't really know.
