Re: dry skin on babies
Aqueous cream and Epaderm are both very good I've used them both on Robert but now stick with Epaderm the greasiness really helps his eczema. I wouldn't use anything in the bath if her skin is dry especially not Johnsons just water is fine. Use plenty of the moisturiser, every nappy change for example and keeping the house cool also helps.

Re: dry skin on babies
i used to work with a midwife who did baby massage - she hated baby oil etc - just derivitive from petrol - very drying to skin
she always recommended olive oil - and after using it a lot of mums swore by it - okay it doesnt smell great but maybe apply at night and bath in morning - might be worth a try |

I say organic as I wouldn't know whether most stuff is delicate enough for baby skin. Maybe body shop oils... |

I'm sure there is some sort of oil delicate enough for baby skin though to scent olive oil. |

Re: dry skin on babies
You could use lavender plant stems if you have them - i have some wonderful plants in my garden - a french variety - very strong. they would scent the oil if you put them in
good idea Blazey, never thought of adding a "scent" |
