Routines and Sleeping

[christy]

A gentle bath product that we used to use (before we found out our girls are allergic to oats) is put a handful of rolled oats in a stocking with a few drops of lavender oil. It smells fantastic & softens skin. All natural and you haven't had to buy anything too special.

We don't use anything in our baths atm, maybe 2 drops of lavender oil and thats it.

We too buy gaia natural products but the bath soap was exacerbating Jovie's ezcema so we are better off with nothing, we do use sorbolene when she gets out of the bath for a massage.

For eczema I recommend calendula oil or jojoba, as well as a few drops of german cham and lavender Also, rosehip oil has a good effect - DS has had some patches lately and when I first didn't know what it was it went red and inflamed, and after making up this mixture, within three days it had gone away. Calendula oil was about $12, Jojoba $19 and about $12 for each essential oil...and it would make about 8-10 25 ml dropper bottles! Might seem like a lot, but it works out in the end.
In the early days, we just used extra virgin olive oil, or sweet almond oil in the bath.
