DS is 2.5 and has had baby excema, which flared up last summer. He has oilatum for the bath and the cream as well, but after the first few months flare up, it's been fairly well under control. I've been too wary to dare swap anything we use though, but would love to be able to give him a bubble bath again, rather than the murky looking unfun stuff that is oilatum. He's not best keen on the bath and I would like to try to get him in more often to see if it'll help his little belly (also constipated poor boy).
Also, I'd like to swap our washing powder - we use tesco non-bio which is not the best at cleaning, but the one time we swapped to another non-bio, he flared up again, but that was some time ago now. anybody know if it might be ok now his skin has calmed? TIA.
