LOL!

DS had (and still does) dry skin, and it was very dry at the beginning, he was born 10 days after his EDD.
I used olice oil in his bath, and QV baby balm afterwards. I tried lots of creams, sorbolene etc, but found a greasier balm worked a lot better for us. I dont know, I think it kind of locks in the moisture, the same with the olive oil.
It was (olive oil) awesome for cradle cap too.
