Baby oil for toddlers dry skin?

[lyssie29]

hi my daughter has dry patches of skin and I got some baby oil for her and was thinking of putting it on her a few times a day. She point blank refuses anything cream-like! However, I keep reading how it's actually bad for the skin. Is this true? I have aloe Vera gel which 100% natural would that be better for her? Thanks.

Waitrose baby bottom butter? Very thick / solid, despite being made largely of olive oil...

I use regular olive oil and it works well.

(and with a gentle.comforting smell of vanilla)

Baby oil is horrible chemical stuff that is really bad for any sort of eczema or delicate skin.

Stop using any sort of bath additive and try a soap substitute - as the pharmacist.

Ask the pharmacist. Not as.
