Baths

I’ve bought oilatum to use in my daughter’s bath, she’s 6 months, should I use bath her and use daily, or better to do every other day?

We use it and bathe twice a week every day is not good for eczema x

We use it every day, we were advised by our dermatologist every day bathing cleans the skin and therefore prevents infection, it works for us but also there's been studies that washing infrequently Vs frequently has no impact on eczema, so just bathe her as much or as little as suits you ☺️

My baby has moderate eczema and we bath her every day. Sometimes in the morning as well quick bath as instructed. Just get your baby properly well moisturised after each bath and during the day.

We use it and bathe every other day although gp did say baby is not that dirty, every 3 days is also good for eczema as bath can dry the skin.

I currently bathe my baby every other day or so but I'm thinking of moving to daily as I think it makes sense given that I apply a thick ointment to his skin at every nappy change. Its difficult too though because he itches even in the bath so it's harder to prevent him breaking his skin 😞 Feel so sorry for him
