is there a bubblebath suitable for eczema ?

[brimfull]

ds would love to have bubbles

[Shitemum]

dont go there

[Shitemum]

there are lots of other fun things to do in the bath, he can have bubbles when he's on dry land

[brimfull]

awww

that's a shame

[Misdee]

nope, dont do bubbles at ALL!

but surprising balneum bath additive frothes up slightly when put in under running water. about a handful of bubbles, enough to get my bubble depeived kids excited lol.

DS1 is prone to SLIGHT eczema. I found by moisturising religiously (Weleda) and eliminating all mineral oil based products and anything containing sodium laurel/laureth sulfate it is basically under control and has been for about two years now (he is four). For bubbles we use JASON products - available from healthfood-type shops - the mango is really nice. I squirt it in running water and whisk it vigorously with my egg whisk .

I use EarthFriendly Baby. It's not cheap, but it does the trick!

My DS gets a rash from Baleneum...

[brimfull]

thanks

will have a go with the health food shop and a whisk

my dd;s reacted to oilatum and a different one. but balneum and aveeno is working fine for them for now.

it's about £6 a bottle , so they don't get it all the time, but DD1 is allergic to SLS's.

It depends. Some claim it but i haven't found one. hey there is another v similar thread i've just posted on

i have found that halos and horns ( Tesco and others ) doesn't aggravate my dc, we started with the shampoo as i was struggling with what the #@;% to wash their hair in that didnt just make it fluffy and knew this didnt have any wierd additives. then tried their bubbly stuff, we only use it as a weekly / twice weekly treat but it is ok for them.

It's not for cleaning I want it....just fun.

[brimfull]

giggle-oh we've been using that shampoo ,didn't realise they did a bubblebath as well

[gigglewitch]

I should add that it isn't actually very bubbly, but my lot were used to aqueous cream in the bath so anything with a few bubbles and a nice smell was going to score well
look at this see what you think.
Another thing... to get round the whole issue, I make simple bubble mix with washing up liquid, and blow bubbles in the bathroom whilst they are in the bath ok I'm nuts. I know. but there's much hilarity all round and they don't care that the bubbles aren't particularly in the bath IYSWIM!

[expatinscotland]

The EarthFriendly one isn't too bubbly, either, but it's got enough of a bubble for the girls to consider it a bubble bath.

[gigglewitch]

of course it's slippery
part of the fun

[brimfull]

just a few bubbles will be appreciated

We use E45 Junior foaming bath milk. It doesn't set off DS2's eczema. He reacts to Oilatum but not to Balneum so it's all a bit trial and error!!
