Child’s Farm is supposed to be perfect for dermatological problems whilst looking and smelling amazing 👌. It’s not the cheapest brand but worth a try and see if you can make a little go a long way.

Just use water if baby is sensitive. For my first used only water for a long time and shes got sensitive skin. Now have to use shampoo as at 3 her hair is thick and long.

I did it that for a while firs 5 months but the head didn't seem clean now as I tend to apply oil

Then dont apply.oil. using oil and shampoo will eliminate the effect of each other. Are you using oil for dry skin? If so maybe use a different cream rather than oil.

Nup to nourish the hair I apply oil once a day and twice I apply cream sometimes once

Child’s farm is expensive but 100% worth it. My son had terrible eczema which cleared up completely using Childs farm products. We’d had steroids and all sorts off the doctors and none of them worked. Xx

Aveeno have a great range of baby products. They're on offer now in boots. Great for skin prone to dryness and cleared up my baby's patch of eczema within days.

Oh yeah in that case perhaps steer clear. I've heard great things about Child's Farm (and the people above seem to rate it). It was recently on offer in Lloyds. I sound like I know about all the bargains lol
