Question

What is safe to put on new born babies skin to keep it from drying out?

Answer 1

Johnson and Johnson skin care products for babies worked splendidly for my two children. to keep the skin soft, moisturized and smelling terrific!

Answer 2

My pediatrician suggested Cetaphil.  He suggested that I use the wash and lotion.  It will help protect the skin from irritation and rashes and it does not have any fragrance or harsh chemicals.  

Answer 3

Eucerin this is the absolute best for babies very safe very good you can buy this at any drug store want to know more go to there site.

Answer 4

Eucerin is the absolute best.

Answer 5

baby oil, or try  moisturizing lotion and baby wash..

Answer 6

baby lotion after a bath, babyoil in the bath.

Answer 7

There are a lot of different types of baby lotion.  I have used Johnson & Johnsons and Aveeno and actually prefer the Aveeno (it just seems to work better for my son).

Answer 8

Johnson & Johnson has a whole line of baby products and Aveeno does as well.  Either of those should work just fine.

Answer 9

Eucerin lotion is great, it's for VERY sensitive skin.

Answer 10

Actually, skip the lotions and baby oil. It can actually irritate babies skin more.

If you notice dry patches you can massage baby with a little bit of olive oil straight from your kitchen.

(if you decide that you are going to use lotion, make sure it is something unscented like Aveeno or Burts Bees).

Answer 21

olive oil.  all over - even their head.  Olive oil was recommended to me by my midwife and i still use it for all diaper changes.  It's natural, you don't have to worry about hidden chemicals in creams and baby oil.. and best of all.. it's cheaper.  It will even help prevent craddle scalp.

good luck!

Answer 22

I use baby gel, or baby oil, or lotion they all work.

I also give him a bath every other day to make it so he doesn't get it dried out to much, not like he get's very dirty

Answer 23

Johnsons baby lotion

Answer 24

I just took my 2 month old to the docs because his skin was SO dry.  They said DO NOT!!!!!!! use johnsons baby lotions or anything that smells good. They only smell good thats it.. they do nothing for them.  I had to change to Eucerin. It doesnt smell like anything but helps with the dry skin.  Having a baby soak in water takes away their natural oils. So that could be it too.  When you are giving them a bath..just wash them quickly. Dont have them sitting in the water. Then just keep lotion on them.  I have all the johnson lotions from my baby shower..tons..so i am going to keep using the eucerin for now until it skin gets better then changing back to the others. the doc said i could.i havent changed the body wash yet. just wanted to see first if the body LOTION worked first. but if it doesnt then I am changing the wash as well.

Answer 25

my babies skin is CRAZY sensative an dry.  We use Aveeno Baby soothing relief moisture cream a couple time a day and then at bed time I put it on let it soke in and then use aquaphor by eucerin.  This makes a huge difference and it makes her look less rashy too.
