Using Oilatum in the bath seems to have really helped my baby's skin but it is pretty pricey. Is there a cheaper alternative? --can't be arsed to try and get it free on prescription as getting a Dr appointment is bloomin impossible unless it's an emergency here

Coconut Oil will melt in the bath. I've been using that in DD's bath when I've ran out of Oilatum.

Can you not get a telephone appt with the doctor instead? Might be easier, and then it will be free. I've had eczema since birth and I haven't found anything else to replace the Oilatum bath additive, it is a must have in my house.

Oatmeal bath? Stick porridge in a pop sock and put in the bath
