[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We bathed him about every couple days in the beginning and then moved to daily baths at around two or three months because of eczema. We went to a top pediatric dermatologist to told us to bathe him daily and then apply barrier ointment (aquafor, Vaseline). Not bathing due to eczema makes it worse. It cleared up on DS really quickly once we started daily baths. [/quote] +1. Not bathing due to eczema is outdated advice. [/quote] This. You don’t cause eczema by bathing... Eczema can be caused by a variety of things. If you thought it was caused by bathing, you were using a soap that dried the skin too much, didn’t apply a barrier layer or allowed your baby to sit too long in the bath once the soap was in it. Your baby can sit for a long time in just water without causing any issues.[/quote]
