DD has dry skin on her cheeks. What do you use for LO's face?

Baby Aquaphor!

Baby Aquaphor!

I'm assuming baby aquaphor is different from regular aquaphor and I only have regular. Looks like I'll be running to the store! The only lotions we have don't seem suitable for her face.

I use Burt's Bees Calming lotion on his body and I put a tiny bit on my fingers and put it on his face. It seems to work pretty well.

There's really no difference in ingredients so I'm not sure what makes Aquaphor Baby different. I have both and the labels looked exactly the same as far as ingredients go. I found that the baby one worked better on diaper rashes, while the normal one did great on dry, cracked skin. HTH!

I use the regular Aquaphor. I've heard it's the same thing.

DS has eczema (sp?) and I use regular vaseline on his whole body (including his face) and that makes it go away and it has no funny smell or anything. and its cheap.

Yep. I didn't at first because I thought you weren't supposed to, but my ped told me to because ds has dry skin. He said as long as it's hypoallergenic it's fine.

I use Mustela baby face lotion on my LO. It works great and smells good too. My baby has sensitive skin and this lotion does not bother his face.

We use Cetaphyl for normal everyday, and baby Aquaphor for any extra dry patches.

We did this with DS2 and it worked really well. He had eczema on his cheeks and in the bends of his arms and legs.

I was told not to by the pedi but that was also when he was only 1 month old. I'd use baby aquaphor (spelling?) if he needed it but would use it sparingly.

DS has eczema, and it can get pretty bad on his face (rough, red, almost cracking skin) if we don't put stuff on it multiple times a day, we use Burt's bees multipurpose balm. I think I want to try some baby aquaphor also though.
