Hi
is there a good natural alternative to the standard recommended OLIVE or ALMOND oil? My dd's skin is quite bad, she is nearly 2 month old and its been very spotty but also dry like eczema/

Id rather not put emollient/aqueous cream and she reacts to oils.

I put some of my son's aveeno cream on her, seemed good but wonder if safe for such a little one...
thankyou

I used aveeno cream on my ds1 at that age and he was fine.

You could try putting oats in her bath. You put them in a sock or similar while running the bath until it becomes creamy.

thankyou both, will carry on with aveeno and may try the oats...
