Do you use the normal one or a special baby one?
Thanks

Normal

Ds was 1 when we started though.

normal one too. Its prescribed by the GP so we can use gallons. DS was about 6 months when we started with it. It doesn't completely get rid of it all the time but as its gentle it pretty much does the job. We just use little bits of steroid cream if he really needs it.

Thanks.
Ds is 4 mnths. We were prescribed Dermol on Fri but he would cry and scratch whenever I applied it so I went with recommendations from here and tried Aveeno for the 1st time today and he was fine with it. I've got my fingers crossed but obviously, time will tell if it works.
I was just a bit concerned as I saw a thread mentioning the baby one which I didn't know about when I bought it.

Which particular one is the normal one, please? I mean is it a cream or a lotion, and which range is it - what does it say on the label? (My DS with eczema isn't a baby but we are just trying out Aveeno for him and I'm wondering which is the best kind.)

TIA

We use Aveeno Skin Relief Body Lotion with natural oatmeal & shea butter.
There wasn't a huge selection in boots when I bought it but it seemed the most appropriate - I liked the idea of the added shea butter 'cos i'd read that that was also good for eczema.
