Hi all,
Hayden was born a week late and has been suffering from dry skin nothing I've used seems to be helping and short of taking him to the dr. (we are going this week) thought I'd ask if you have had this problem and what helped! Seems to be mainly on his head, behind his ears, although his stomach is dry if I don't use cream every day, he's 9 weeks old today!
Thanks in advance!

DS was the same, and still is to a point.
QV products were wonderful.
QV baby balm was great, its greasy though but thats a good thing as its locking in the moisture whereas a cream isnt always as effective.
Their bath oil was good too.
I used olive oil on his scalp has he had the worst cradle cap I'd ever seen, this didnt kick in til around 8-10 weeks though.
I use baby sorbalene and used baby oil on the head to get rid of cradle cap (and still use it after every bath to smooth down DD's fluffy hair). I also was told for really young babies to bath every second day as bathing every day dries out the skin.
Izzy had eczema and we tried everything to settle it as eczema skin needs to be constantly moisturised. We eventually found that the sorbelene kept it under control but I don't like using it because it has petrochemicals in it. James' skin on his legs is like leather right now and we are using QV too but Im about to try emu oil which I combined with the sorbelene on Izzy as well to try and ward off the dryness. If it is really bad then there is cream called Dermeze at the chemist too hun.
