    I used Hamilton's bath oil with DD1 when she was younger, very sparingly in her bath, it all but eliminated the problem. Since then I've used other brands, but TBH I'm not sure there's much of a difference, they all have very similar active ingredients (ie parrafin/mineral oil), so it might just come down to which one is the best buy or has the fragrance you like the most.

    I was going to say, every single one will work differently for different people. I had soooo many recommendations from people when DD had bad eczema as a baby and in the end it was trial and error. In the end for us none of them worked and the only thing we could do was shower without soaps or oils and then use medihoney cream straight from the shower. The bath was not good for her as sitting in the water made it worse and we didn't even realise this was causing problems until someone brought it up with us.

    Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!

    agree with PP. Everyone always said to me to try this try that, miracle cure this and that but they dont understand that i have tried it and it didnt work. Even Goats soap and rolled oats didnt work for DD *sigh*

    Anyway sorry for the hijack, but i reckon if QV bath oil works for you, stick to it. Ive wasted way too much money on products that have hardly been used due to recommendations.

    i ended up with dermaveen bath treatment, its a powder, it seems to been helping, we also ended up using some cortisone cream and the bad area, now just using moisturiser. we tried calendulis plus cream (has mauka honey) but didnt work...
    as rouge said its really about finding what works...sigh, can be an expensive trial and error
