What would you do or use for dry skin which is also on the corner of the eye lids of a young baby? He does not have eczema currently but there are family members who do.

Have you spoken with your health visitor?

We used coconut oil and Vaseline. Her skin was dry but never broken. She also had dry skin on an eyelid but we have never touched it. We just keep it clean at bath times. We limit bathing to 2-3 times per week.

I've spoken to the family time supervisor but not the health visitor as he's in care while social services are doing assessments how our health affects our parenting
