I'm Currently Feeling:  | Kaidens Got The Same Thing...I Was Putting Johnsons Soft Lotion On Him After His Bath, And Found That It Hurt Him..Think It Must Have Been Stingy! So Try And Not Use Anything Fragranced That Could Irritate It! Ive Just Been Using E45 Nightly And It Seems To Be Dying Down  x | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | have you ever heard of Aqueous cream? My Midwife recommended it when I had lily, she had terribly dry skin, this work soo well, you can get it from lots of places, even tesco. Hope it gets better soon hun, You can also pop some in his bath and it works a treat.

I'm Currently Feeling:  | We used baby lotion at first but it didn't seem to do much good so we started using baby oil. Cleared up most of the dry skin within a few days  |
