Where do you put lotion?

on your LO? We use Aveeno, but I feel like I shouldn't put on her scalp, where she is dry - anyone put on face/scalp regularly?  the rest of her body is never dry.

    I used to put a VERY small amount on DD's face and the front part of her scalp.  The dryness has gone away, so now I only put lotion on her body to prevent it from getting too dry.

    Head to toe, including face and scalp, twice a day. We use Cetaphil moisturizer (comes in a tub)

    I don't put it on Tegan's scalp, but that's because she has hair and the lotion would make it really greasy.

    I have put lotion on her face and I put lotion everywhere else after every bath. I use the Aveeno baby lotion on her whole body and I use Aquaphor on any extra dry parts or spots.

    I use Aquaphor because DD has a mild case of eczema.  We pretty much lotion all of her except her scalp.  For her face, we only do her cheeks.

    We do head to toe Aquaphor or baby oil if it's right after a bath. I do include her hair because the mild eczema is under her hair so I just deal with the greasy hair. Baby oil does not make the hair anywhere near as greasy as lotion or creams do.

    Before starting Aquaphor I used J&J head to toe including hair also. I know Aquaphor is not moisturizing but it seems as though LO's skin usually has enough moisture so long as we use the Aquaphor to create a barrier to the moisture leaving.

    It places the lotion in the basket or it gets the hose again.

     

     

    ... j/k.  Legs/feet, tummy, arms, and back.
