What’s best for teething & skin care?

We’ve been using the Ashton & Parsons gel which doesn’t contain lactose and that seems to work quite well but we used the powders before we realised they had lactose and they really affected my coma lo. Also been making breast milk “popsicles” which I put in a mould that fit in a dummy shaped dispenser - mine is a Hakka one but there are lots of brands that sell similar. We’ve used lots of different brands for his skin. Didn’t personally care for Aveeno - didn’t notice a change at all when his skin was bad. We’re currently using a combination of child’s farm slumber time/ moon milk (I think that’s what it’s called!) bubble bath and nalas baby hair and body wash. He’s was so hard to settle before we knew about his allergies that we had to bath him to calm and settle him for bed and this combination worked really well for us without irritating his skin. I’d even go as far as to say it helped.
We also use kokoso coconut oil after the bath but now his skin is totally clear we don’t need to do it every day. My holy grail product for his face would be the kokoso baby soft balm stick which I put on his face to stop it becoming dry / irritated by the dribble. It’s honestly such a game changer and his skin has been amazing since we started using it. I tend to put on when I change him, before a feed or if we are going outside. I can’t express how good it’s been! x
@Julia thank you I did buy the gel today x
@Victoria am I able to make formila milk into popsicles or are you not able to do that? I’ve never heard of that so I’ll have to have a look online, do you put it all on his face or certain areas? My little boy also has like a bumpy rash just below his neck which feels quite dry, would I be able to put it on there? X
Ashton and parson powder is good. However, that containers lactose so be careful as my little girl has CMPA and reacted to the powder. Teething toys can always pop them in the fridge for 10 minutes x
