Lotion?

[lowedown]

Almost every night. LO has super dry skin. When it gets bad I lather him with aquaphor too.

Same

[carissalynp]

I do when his skin gets dry, but not as part of bedtime routine because he's squirmy and it does the opposite of calm him down.

[rondackhiker]

I slather DS and DD almost every night (and don't do baths every night) because of dry skin. Without it they get scaly and have eczema patches.

Bath before lotion, always.

[likethewheels]

After baths consistently. (So every other/every few nights.) I do cheeks and nose daily because those areas seem to get drier with the cold.

[jessasaurus]

I do every night before bed, but we live in a very dry climate and her skin gets patchy if I dont.

[squirm]

After every bath. Her chubby cheeks have started to look chapped so I've been adding extra lotion to them.

[desirrek]

I just apply it when he needs it, probably about 1-2 times per week.

Same here. Interesting, my Pedi, recommended I use Olive oil on her not lotion when she was so dry a few months after she was born.

This. It's not a routine, but when she is dry, I apply it right after her bath. S also isn't bathed nightly and does get a healthy application of aquaphor for her eczema, so there's that.

[tangerinetart]

If I give a bath, LO gets lotion. If H does it he normally "forgets".

[gingerM84]

Everyday after her bath, very dry climate here and her skin drys out really easily. Sometimes in the morning on her face too if it's really cold and windy.

[dgs7585]

Lotion every day here. My kids have the driest skin. Eucerin on their face and baby lotion on the rest.

[suzyqq02]

She's got eczema like me, so whenever she has a flare we lather up with aquaphor. Otherwise we use a little baby lotion on her dry spots (elbows, lower legs) after each bath.

[utpony]

We do after baths, unless I notice it being particularly dry.

[vshumway]

She gets nighttime lotion every night and regular lotion every morning. She doesn't have super dry skin, but we have always done it and she likes it! The few times we have been out and she didn't get lotion (for example, at my SIL and she gets a bath but not her lotion) I can tell in the morning when I put the other lotion in her. It soaks right now. She also get aquaphor around her mouth and nose when she's teething and has a lot of drool and snot.

[tenniscourt]

I put it on him daily because of extra dry skin per his pedi's recommendations. I use aquaphor on the super dry patches and baby Aveeno everywhere else.

Lotion at least 2x a day here. DD has pretty bad eczema.

[hashtagrainbow]

She gets lotioned up after every bath and gets a healthy dose of Aquaphor on her butt every diaper change. Can't have her ashy

[Deleted]

Every night and morning. Poor LO takes after me and has really bad dry skin. He loathes it, DH gets a kick out of it being labeled calming because it has such an opposite effect.

[nabruns]

We do lotion all over C after each bath he gets (every other day )

[bluedot]

Very... I mean very rarely... his legs have been dry lately so I've been doing aquafor here and there

[shellbell]

I applied lotion religiously for about 10 days in the late spring or early summer. The bottle told me it was clinically proven to help my baby sleep better.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha ok.

[betheliz]

We apply babyganics lotion after almost every bath, but he doesn't get baths very often...maybe twice per week. I guess as he starts insisting on feeding himself more the baths and lotion applications will go up.

[cd7211]

I do it everynght after the bath cause she gets eczema, I'm sure every night baths don't help but with her long hair she constantly has food and whatever else stuck in her hair.

[djtippietoes]

Very rarely. I hate the way lotion feels and his skin doesn't seem particularly dry.

[katybriggs]

Occasionally. Although I've been using some stuff they gave us in the hospital like eucerin on his cheeks the last 2 weeks for his drool rash

[lalaprep]

DD has eczema so every night after bath to lock in the moisture. We use CeraVe mixed with aquaphor.

[ramfan05]

We live in a very dry climate and both kids have eczema. We do nightly baths (always have but allergist actually said a daily bath of at least 10 minutes would help the dry skin, not make it worse) then cetaphil and/or aquaphor.

[bepandnick]

Sometimes, but I should be more consistent considering how dry it is in our house.
