Use Sudocrem for dry or sore skin- and baby bath and oil for bath time for soft skin! 15/9/2015 08:25:12 pm
If you have dry sensitive skin, Stay away from products that contain alcohol because they irritate the dry sensitive patches and redness occurs xx

Never use soap based products on any part of the skin use Aqueous cream instead of soap or Oilatum in the bath water, use the aqueous to moisturise after patting dry.

As a mum who had a child with terrible skin the best advice I can give is to cream them up at every nappy change! The more you put on them the better it gets

Don't bathe them every day, use Luke warm water to prevent skin drying out, and use a mild moisturiser, to keep their skin soft :=)

My daughter has dry skin and is prone to eczema - if her skin is particularly bad I put some oatmeal inside the foot of a pair of thin tights and tie it to the bath tap for an oat bath. Really helps to soothe x

Sudocrem always helps my sons eczema. Bathing every other day and making sure they're dry before getting them dressed. Talc doesn't help
Sammi McSporran

Only use products meant for young skin, and avoid scrubbing too hard or over-cleaning them! Most kids are fine with one bath a week, any more can be damaging.
