Baby Skin Care - What do you use?

[Ellee05]

I've used some of the Gaia products and they're good but DD has some sensitive skin and we were advised just to use plain water. I now undress her and rub QV wash into her skin like moisturiser before I bath her. It seems easier and her skin has improved. I use pawpaw ointment for nappy rash.

I have also just been told to put cheapo oatmeal into a stocking and use it as soap, apparently it gets creamy milky and you just replace the oatmeal every couple of days. Haven't tried it yet though.

Yep, I've used plain oatmeal in a stocking. It works. Takes a bit of getting used to after living a life with chemicals as cleansers but it is worth trying.

Olive where do you get your MooGoo in Melbourne? Their website only lists outer suburbs and country locations as stockists - is there anywhere in the CBD or inner north that sells it? Bathsheba oatmeal is the traditional old herbalists remedy for sensitive skin - it really works a treat doesn't it?

I only buy MooGoo via online order. The postage that i pay is almost worth not having to buy a train ticket or petrol to the stores here in melbourne. They deliver VERY fast and always throw in a freebie sample.

Thanks Everyone,

I actually used the oats in the stocking as a kid when my skin was bad, so will probably be doing the same for bub!

I use QV cream (not the lotion) on DD and QV bath oil and Moogoo on her bum.

DD has eczema.

She had a reaction to sorbolene, rolled oats didnt do much for her and J&J caused her eczmea to flare.

Some people swear by other things so mostly trial and error for your bub.
