Could our baby be allergic to the baby lotion and the baby lavender lotions? Can we just use Eucerin on her ?

Could that be another reason to have rash like rough spots on her face?

Yes you can my doc suggester Eucerin because my daughter is allergic to basically everything. He also suggested Vaseline. I use all hypoallergenic fragrance free soap/lotion etc...





When I used any Johnson and Johnson products my daughter would break out in hives and have a rash literally from head to toe. The bubble bath/body soap was the worst!
Reply:yes dyes and perfumes can be irritating to baby's skin. Also consider cutting back on how often she gets baths as it may be drying. I've also heard a young baby doesn't need to washed with soap (just warm water) as they don't really get that dirty till they start crawling around.
Reply:Bathing every night can dry out the baby's skin.





Having said that, I can't go more than two days without giving my son a bath - eww.





My pediatrician and I were just dicussing this, and he said to use Vaseline, Lanolin, or get this: Crisco (the white lard in the jar). Yep... he said it's got just natural ingredients, and b/c of it's lipid content, it's not water soluable, so it stays longer than regular lotion without rubbing off. It's cheap as anything too.





I know it sounds gross, but I think he had a good point.





Eucerin is like $10 a tube! That stuff is crazy!





Take care!
Reply:possible. don't use anything that has perfume in it. i think 'california baby' is great. stuff like vaseline can clog pores.
