What's best for baby's face?

Currently using mustela face lotion and wipes with no problem but while I love the smell they seem way to fragrant! His skin is super dry and bumpy right now from all the drool wondering if there is a better product out there? I sometimes use aquaphor baby but it is so greasy and I worry about him rubbing it into his mouth and eyes

    Our Neos pretty much recommended Aquaphor for everything.  It won't hurt him to get it in his mouth/eyes.

    I've heard that Lanolin (typically used on sore nipples for breastfeeding mamas) can be used to moisturize baby's skin. It's nice to know that it is 100% safe if it does get into baby's mouth!

    Second lanolin ointment.

    I wipe my daughter's face with a warm wash cloth every night before bed and I think that has really helped keep her skin moisturized.

    Lanolin is a great idea. Vaseline would work too. DS is a thumb sucker, and his thumb is chapped. His pedi suggested Vaseline, and said it was fine if he sticks his finger in his mouth with vaseline on it.

    I used Weleda brand, Calendula face cream for babies at first, but the pedi recommended Vaseline Deep Moisture Creamy Formula.  I think they both work well for my LO; Weleda does have a plesant fragrance while the Vaseline Cream has no scent at all.  I think the Vaseline will be better for the cool fall/cold winter months (its thicker than then Weleda).  I hope this helps!

    I use CABaby calendula...it seems to work. Otherwise just a plain washcloth seems to be the best.

    When M has really dry patches I just use olive oil.  Works great.

    CA baby Calundra cream is the best. it can take away the baby acne, smooth out any bumps, remove diaper rash in less than 12 hours and can help eczema. I love that stuff.
