Had the baby outside today and his face is really dry . I know i shouldnt put baby lotion on his face but could i put a little vaseline?

Re: dry skin

  • We put lotion on LO's  face....... ? I have never heard you aren't supposed to.

  • Lotion is fine... We use Aveeno or Aquaphor.  My pedi told me to put hydrocortisone on LO's really dry and acne face the other day and it worked really well.

    I personally wouldn't use that at all. I'd go for something a little more natural like coconut oil for the face.

    Yes, you can use the J&J lotion on his face, but I agree that I dislike that lotion overall.  It has a lot of chemicals in it for long-term use.  It's fine though if you like it.

  • DD1 was overdue and a little 'crispy', so the nurses advised us to use done olive oil to help sort her out. Any non nut kitchen/cooking oil works well.

  • Try a product called CapriClear.  It's an all natural coconut oil based moisturizer. I use it, in fact our whole family uses it.  CC is great for dry skin and safe to use on babies. Check out their website and read about it. I highly recommend it, it will take the itch and the redness out of your baby's skin.
