Can i put anything on 6 week old dd eyelids?

[mummytopebs]

DD has dry skin and have been putting olive oil on it. Her eyelids keep going red and puffy and think this is because they are dry. Can i put anything on them with her only being 6 weeks? They look really sore

Are you bfing? A dab of bm might help. Lansinoh (warm the tube on the radiator) is also good. I often used it behind the DC's ears when they got sore.

No not breastfeeding. Can you get the cream from pharmacy?

i would ask for advice from the doctor or HV

Yes, but the cream is v.expensive (you might have had it in if you were bfing which is why I suggested it). As Lulu says, try your GP/HV or pharmacist.
