I posted recently about my son Benji suffering from some pretty bad eczema, and got so many amazing recommendations from you guys! I also had a lot of people reply and say “please let me know what you find out!”
Wanted to put together a recap of all the recommendations with links to specific products. I will say we tried straight coconut oil after the bath last night, and Benji slept through the night for the first time in a week. I really think the itching was waking him up and making him crazy, and lathering him up into a little coconut seemed to really help!
Obviously I am not doctor and have not tried everything listed below– always consult your doctor before trying new things on your little baby’s skin!
Below is a recap of everything:
- Coconut Oil
- Vaseline
- Shea Moisture Raw Shea Chamomile & Argan Oil Baby Therapy
- Apple Cider Vinegar in the bath
- Vitamin E lotion from Sam’s Club
- Steroid cream (RX from doctor)
- Skinfood by Aubrey products
- Oatmeal baths by Aveeno
- Switching soap to Castile Liquid Soap (pure natural oils to replenish dry skin)
- ABC Arbonne Baby Care Set
- Tubby Todd washes and lotions
- California Baby eczema soap/eczema cream
- Free & clear laundry detergent
