my 19month old has eczema,
one doctor told me to apply her cream(at the time was glaxal base) right after her baths to lock in moisture...
then her pediatrician told me i should apply oil to her skin after a bath(suggested olive oil)
NOW my baby is using aquaphor as a moisturizer during the day, should i be using this when shes done baths, or should i stick with the olive oil?Aquaphor or olive oil to lock in moisture?
I would stay away from any oil in bath water. If the baby happens to get water in the mouth it could be dangerous to the lungs because of the oil. I would apply cream after the bath.Aquaphor or olive oil to lock in moisture?
I use olive oil. It's great. But, they also have the Olive Oil Cream in a jar and it's not so oily, but good moisturizer.
There are so many good ones. Someone swore to me that rubbing ';castor oil'; on your skin was like a miracle in taking away dryness. I've not tried it yet, but I bought some yesterday and will definately give it a try this week!
Here's another miracle oil I heard about - coconut oil! I heard it was ';totally awesome'; at relieving very dry skin! My problem with this is it seems like it would be ';sticky'; but I was told no it is not sticky, and another miracle aid for skin!
So between any of these, your baby should get a new skin. I believe that any oil rubbed on the skin while still wet, will lock in moisture and is excellent if used daily especially - this means: Baby oil, Olive oil, Castor oil, Coconut oil, Sesame Oil (smells So GOOD!)
Try some of these = I bet you'll have great results!
