Baby Oil vs. Lotion for eczema?
Ok my baby’s dr. told me that you are not suppost to use “baby” lotion anymore (like the kind that comes in the pink bottles) she said just use regular lotion that is mild or for sesitive skin nothing with fragrences or stuff like that. I have been using vaseline lotion so far, because my son has eczema on his face and knees and craddle cap on his head and eyebrows (i know it’s odd, but he was born with craddle cap on his eyebrows only then is started under his hair on his head). Well my friend gave me some baby lotion as part of a gift basket and i was wondering if i should use that after his baths and the other lotion other times? Does anyone else use baby oil on there baby? what are your experiences. I recently bought Gentle Naturals disney baby baby eczema cream and that has really helped the rash on his cheeks. Should i stick with that? I am not sure what do you all recommend?

Oh the “baby” lotion has that same stuff in it that is in plastic bottles they dont recommend using anymore the “bpa” stuff. At least thats how the dr. explained it only she use the technical name but i cant remember it i just it as bpa.

oh and my baby is 6 weeks old (born on christas eve)
ok i was just rereading my post and i accidently said i got baby lotion and was wondering if i should use it i meant i got baby oil and was wondering about that. I have never used it and was wondering about peoples experiences with it and what do you use it for?

Ryan has pretty bad eczema, depending on the day.
We were originally using Johnsons Baby Lotion as a newborn but it just made it worse and my doc also told me not to use that stuff..
We are now using the vaseline lotion as well, it keeps him mostuirized.
I have been thinking about trying that Disney cream you are refering too!
I would just stick with that if its working, its hard to find a product that works..

Also I would not use the johnson lotion, it could cause a serious breakout on your baby!!

what can I use to replace dr. Bronner’s baby mild liquid soap?
I’m trying to get all the ingredients for a face scrub i read in a magazine, but no body in town carries this dr. bronner’s baby mild liquid soap. I dont want to order it online any suggestions?

Dr. Bronner’s Baby Mild Liquid Soap is an extremely pure and natural and rather versatile soap. My husband and I both love it; we each have our own little signature essential oil blend that we add to make personalized shower “gel.” Hubs also likes to use it for shampoo now and then, and I have used it in its original unscented form as a facial wash. Ok, so I’m assuming you don’t live near a Whole Foods Market or other health food/natural products store where you could buy Dr. Bronner’s. In my personal experience, the only other comparable soap I’ve found is through a distributor out of Oregon, haha, so I guess that’s out too! ;) If there truly is no source for natural products like this near you, then I would suggest substituting a mild and unscented facial cleanser that you’re already comfy with, one you are certain won’t irritate your skin. Hope this helps and that your face ends up pampered and smooth! :D

Does tea tree oial and baby soap get rid of kitten fleas?
My kittens have fleas will this work?

Tea Trea Oil is deadly to cats. Get a flea comb and use that to comb out the fleas from the kittens. Dr the fleas in a bowl of soapy water – that kills them. Of course, you need to wash their beddings in warm soapy water to get rid of the flea eggs and larvae. And you need to flea-comb the kittens everyday. After a few days, you’ll notice less and less fleas to comb out until there are none left. This is the safest way I know to control fleas on cats and kittens. I don’t like putting chemicals on them.

Good for your parents for taking a stand and punishing you. i mean come on what you did is not only immature and gross but it could have been very dangerous. And because you were bored?please you need to grow up. I wouldn’t want a “bored kid” behind the wheel of a car. I hope your parents do what is right and stand by their decision.

Johnsons Baby lotion?
Is “johnson’s baby soothing naturals moisturizing cream” ok for a 2.5 week old tattoo?
I still keep getting try skin after that long
Why isnt it okay to use a lotion with a “scent/fragrance”?
My tattoo has already healed.. and this is like the 3rd-4th time (on some parts of the tattoo) the skin gets dry and starts to fall off.

My whoal arm is tattood btw.. and only like 10% of my tattoo gets that “dry skin” over and over again… :P

Of course it is fine to use that on a healed tattoo. I personally don’t think it is rich enough, but if that is what you have, then certainly use it. We always prefer white unscented lotions for aftercare and I am surprised that Johnson never stepped up to cut that fragrance – I find it over powering, actually.

Scented baby lotion on new tattoo?
Ok so i just got a tattoo this morning, and i went to buy a lotion they told me to get A&D but i couldnt find it, and picked another baby diaper rash ointment, its says certified organic petroleum free, zinc oxide based but when i applied it it had a light scent and i was wondering if i should keep using it or buy something else??

You could check the ingredient panel to see if there’s any added scents. If there is, you should get a lotion that isn’t unscented. Scented lotion can burn a tattoo.
I use Rocco’s Old School on my tattoos. All natural. Heals fast and healthy.
