Baby Skin & Body CareA blog on baby care

My husband didn’t check pockets when doing laundry, and a tiny canister of Vicks Baby Rub (like Mentholatum) went through the washer and dryer. Two pairs of his pants now have blotches all over them. I’ve soaked the pants in OxyClean – no good. A friend suggested he put dish soap on them, but he just put it on there then immediately washed the pants again – should he have let it sit a while? Or does anyone know of anything else that would take this out? Thanks!

My husband has psoriasis and has a family history of it. I recently noticed several patches on my baby (on his legs, back and arms) of what looks like psoriasis. My baby is 4.5 months old and of course I’m hoping it’s not psoriasis. I’m slathering on the lotion and will be taking him to the pediatrician soon to check it out. I was just wondering if anyone has had a young baby with moderate psoriasis, and if so, what types of remedies (natural and medical) did you use to treat it? Thanks!

Okay PLEASE READ….we’ve already tried:
-Humidifier
-Lubriderm Lotion
-Aveeno baby lotion
-Johnsons Regular & Nighttime lotion
-Aquaphor
-Baby Oil & Creamy Baby Oil
-Parent’s Choice Lotion
-Baking soda in her bath water
-Dove Soap
-And we have tried switchin between multiple soaps and her laundry detergent.
She has a dermitologist app. in a week or two but right now its itching her so bad that she rubbed her leg lastnight against the sheet so much that she made it bleed. So I need something that will help. We’ve even cut her from a bath everynight to a bath once a week. Nothing is helping.

I have looked on the website and it seems kind of vague. In terms of baby items, are you allowed to put baby shampoos, baby body wash, wipes and diapers and other items such as those?

Baby Shampoo?

I have a hairless Chinese Crescent/cocker spaniel and his previous owners gave me baby lotion and shampoo for him. I just don’t see this being moisturizing enough. His skin is really dry. What is a better lotion or cream?

Are brands like L’oreal Kids, Suave kids, or Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo not as good as regular ones? I’m looking for a shampoo and/or conditoner that’s gentle enough to use everyday.

like the lotion, baby wash, baby oil, powder, shampoo, etc..
just curious, i love the smell of them but my best friend hates it.

It is an all porcelain baby doll sold by Danbury Mint in 2002.

I need ones like diapers and wipes lotion soap etc…
