Blake's got really dry skin all of a sudden (it's been working up to it for the last fortnight) on his face and (this has come up in the last week) on his body. I haven't changed anything in the past week or so. (Minimal detergent as I wash his MCNs with his clothes often to make up a load - has a deep rinse cycle). The dry skin isn't in the nappy area but is nearly everywhere else.

He does have a bit of cradle cap which is slowly disappearing (tried baby oil, MooGoo scalp cream, and olive oil) but it seemed to migrate slowly onto his forehead (before trying the Moo Goo scalp cream) and then down the edges of his cheeks (closest to his ears).

The dry skin doesn't seem to bother him - although DH is a bit concerned. I put some MooGoo MSM cream after DS's bath each time and when I change his long sleeve body suit for bed on the nights he doesn't have a bath but it doesn't seem to have done much. I thought I'd try something different last night instead and tried to use sorbolene cream and DS started screaming as soon as I tried to rub it in so that came off reasonably quickly with the face washer and the MooGoo went on instead. I did put a little olive oil afterwards on a spot near his chin on his chest to see if that would help as that spot was starting to get scaly like his forehead and cheeks. (I eventually ended up using olive oil on his scalp & forehead to ease the scaly-ness of the cradle cap as I wasn't getting to putting on the Moo Goo scalp cream often enough and the MSM cream wasn't appearing to do much. The olive oil seemed to settle the forehead a fair bit, just over night though).

His back and chest seem to be dry and looks a bit patchy in it's dryness. It almost looks like a rash but I'm not sure. It doesn't appear to annoy DS so not quite sure there.

Any suggestions to help moisturise his skin??? tried the Gaia moisturisers this morning and they don't seem to have done much either.
