    The midwives told us to use grapeseed oil in his bath if we were worried. I would probably try or even just some olive oil straight into your little one's skin after a bath before moving onto a moisturiser.

    I would agree with olive or grapeseed oil, or perhaps sorbolene if you don't like the oil smell. You can turn the time you spend putting it onto her skin into some lovely baby massage time.

    We used to use olive oil for our kids when they were that tiny. I wouldn't use anything which isn't 100% natural, or you will irritate her skin even more. Moogoo make some great products which are all natural.

    if you can get hold of some, jojoba oil is the closest to the oil content of human skin, or if you are sure of no nut allergies sweet almond oil is the one absorbed fastest into skin.

    Awesome thank you all

    Baby massage time sounds lovely, think she will enjoy that.

    Will give the olive oil a shot & I will purchase some moogoo aswell
