It's been a very dry winter. So dry, my baby's skin had paid dearly. Her skin was dry, bumpy, and blotchy. I tried all sorts of lotions and creams before finding the cure from our pediatrician. Eucerin and Aquaphor helped for a time ... and then it got really bad.
Here's what we did that finally did the trick:
Here's what we did that finally did the trick:
- Applied Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser from the neck down for 3 minutes prior to bath time
- Added about 1 ounce Robathol Bath Oil to bath water and let baby soak in water for about 3 minutes
- Pat dry and applied Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream liberally and all over
Our doctor warned us Robathol Bath Oil was easiest found online and, of course, Amazon has it. We picked up the Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream and Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser from CVS and had this first -- I used the cream before the bath oil arrived. Her skin began to clear up! We may be able to forego the Robathol Bath Oil ... I'm gonna stick with what the doctor recommended for now.
