Hi, my little man has eczema we use E45 cream or zero cream. You can get the E45 from a chemist over the counter. It's about £7 but if you find it works, go to gp and ask for it on repeat prescription xx

I know it sounds odd, but my health visitor recommended using ordinary kitchen vegetable oil! I've used it during baby massage and it certainly leaves Joshua's skin feeling very soft and smooth x

My hv recommended coconut oil. Smells dreadful but was very effective. My little boy was really flaky all over! Xx

Thanks ladies, its very strange its only on his stomach and chest, slightly raised and dry. I think im going to go to clinic and speak to hv. Im wondering if its eczema or maybe some sort of reaction to some food ive given him. Its never ending with these babies lol xxx

In my experience a oil which only contains just the 1 ingredient is good for baby's skin.

Try having a look for something like almond oil or jasmine oil plus these oils also smell great!
