Lotion

When did you first start putting lotion on your LO?

J has eczema so he gets lathered in Aquaphor twice a day since it first flared up a little before their EDD, per pedi recommendation. S has perfect skin so I don't use lotion at all for him.

Pedi said not to use lotion unless his skin looked dry.  Unfortunately he has pretty bad eczema, so we use a lot of aquaphor when that flairs (only in the winter).

I started using it shortly after we brought her home. I think it was about a week before her due date. We use Aveno baby, but have used Aquafor sometimes on her thighs.

He had really dry skin while in the NICU. So I probably started putting baby lotion on him at a couple weeks old. The nurses reccomended I bring some in, so that we could put it on him at least once or twice a day.

We started putting it on him while in the NICU...it was what they recommended.  I still put it on him every time I bathe him.

we use it every night at bedtime.  Our pedi never mentioned not using it.  We use J&J lotion.

The girls started having really dry skin about the time they were discharged (around 4 weeks old...and we live in the desert) so I used California Baby Extra Sensitive Lotion because it is unscented...in the NICU they always warned against exposing the girls to perfumes and such, so I played it safe.  I also put it on them after each bath.

I just recently started putting lotion on our LO.  She does not have dry skin, but we do it with a massage after bathtime.  Right now we are using Earth Mama Angel Baby.

As soon as we came home from the NICU (after bath time normally).

We used lotion day 1. Once I took a shower and got to my regular room. I wiped LO off and put lotion and vaseline on her skin. I also use every morning and night.
