How to get a 3 year old to moisturise - eczema

[Susannahmoody]

How on earth do you persuade a reluctant 3 year old to put moisturing cream on?! It was easier when she was 2

Urgh one of my twins was awful with moisturising! What moisturiser do you use? Does it come in a pump? One thing I'd do to make it fun was draw squiggles and shapes from the pump on to their hands and arms for them to guess, or I'd really slather it on and then write messages or draw shapes into it with my fingers to make it a game!

We're just moving this thread over to our Allergies and Intolerances topic for the OP.

Use the cream in the bath, Hydromol can be used as a wash and put in on the affected bits when they're asleep!

That's what I did when my DS went through a phase of hating his cream. It didn't last long

Thanks so much for these, I'll try hydromol in the bath as applying directly isn't selling...
