    LO#1 had really bad eczema and we tried using a few different kinds of eczema specific lotion with no success. When we asked our pediatrician she said to use a creamy body soap (versus clear; we chose Aveeno brand), only bathe when necessary, and to moisturize with Aquaphor. She didn't mention anything about laundry soap so we didn't make any changes there (we've always used Tide detergent and Bounce dryer sheets (the fragrance & dye free versions)). From our experience, the Aquaphor was honestly the most helpful part so maybe try that. Good luck!

    My baby doesn't have eczema, but my nephew had it when he was a baby and my sister swears by Aveeno's Eczema Therapy products. She used both a lotion and cleanser that worked well for him. She also mentioned that switching to a "free and clear" detergent helped, although I'm not sure what specific brand she used.

    Aveeno makes an Eczema lotion and we've been using that. It's done wonders for his little arms and face. We also switched to Aveeno's creamy body wash and shampoo. I wish I had known how great Aveeno products were, I wouldn't have got all this Johnson and Johnson crap. All that stuff does is break him out (except the lavendar bedtime formula - that one doesn't seem to bother him.)

    I have Psorasis which is in the same family as Eczema (my nephew has eczema). We use tide gentle detergent (I know some ppl say it's not the best) but the thing is not to change soaps often. Stick with one brand and your LO 's skin will get use to the detergent. Like I have.
    We also use Arbonne products since that's only thing that provides relief for us all.

    If you would like more info just pm me.
