If you’re a long time reader, by now you’ll be well aware of
the problems we’ve had with the Little Lion and eczema. If you’re relatively
new, welcome to our tales of red blotchy skin, itchy sleepless nights and
search for products to tame this condition. Fun times!
I’m always hesitant to try new products on the Little Lion,
as the poor kid tends to react to the quicker than you can blink. However, I
was approached to try a few different products from both Aveeno and Johnson
& Johnson, and when I noticed the Aveeno products were designed
specifically for toddlers with eczema, I jumped at the chance. Anything that
contains oatmeal, throw it at me people! I’ll be right on board!
We used the Johnson & Johnson oil, moisturising cream
and bath wash when the Little Lion was a tiny newborn, and I used to love
massaging the oil into his skin after his night time bath. Back then he wasn’t
the best sleeper, so I used to pray that the use of lavender would somehow lull
him into a lovely deep sleep. To be honest I’m not sure that it did, but at
least the smell of it would help us relax!
For the past two weeks I’ve been trialling the Aveeno Daily
Moisturising Lotion, Wash and Shampoo and Bath Wash on him. Each time we have
swimming lessons I make sure we shower at the facilities there to wash the
chlorine off as it’s so harsh on his skin. I follow it up with the Aveeno Soothing
Relief Moisture Cream and so far, so good! No reactions!
The teams at Johnson and Johnson and Aveeno have been kind
enough to gift one lucky Hummingbird’s Song reader with a pack containing the
following:
Baby Bedtime Oil
Bedtime Lotion
Bedtime Bath
and...
Wash and Shampoo
Soothing Relief Moisture Cream
Soothing
Relief Creamy Wash
Daily Moisturising Lotion
Phew!

Another great giveaway, thanks Rhi!! I use the Johnson's daily moisturiser with sunscreen for myself, I burn so easily and need to have sunscreen on. It's the only one I've found that is affordable and doesn't feel too heavy. When Max's skin is dry is use a body shop baby moisturiser, I use it because it was gifted to us :)
ReplyDeleteI actually use Aveeno, as I received a trial and I quite like it, It's very moisturising and feels fresh all day. I have Liked and tweeted.

I love Aveeno, my local chemist put me onto it and it's so soothing for poor, irritated skin :)

johnsons soothing naturals :D i used to use dove, but now moisturise myself as i do my girls :D
ReplyDeleteHi, new liker here! My little girl also has very sensitive skin, so I normally only ever use basic sorbolene cream (when her skin is good) as a daily moisturiser, and keep the big guns for breakouts. She really does love having bubbles in her bath though, and misses out on that most of the time - maybe some Aveeno is the answer!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I am now following on FB too :)
ReplyDeleteHi Claire! Carter loves the bubbles too, and can spend a fair bit of time in there :P Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Hayley, good luck!
ReplyDeleteOoh, Paw Paw ointment is fabulous! Good luck Lisa!
ReplyDeleteThanks for entering, good luck!
ReplyDeleteWhich daily moisturiser do you use, and why? We use anything 'sensitive' as my kids have inherited my special skin and we're often battling toddler AND adult ezcema.... some Aveeno would def go to use here! (liza_jane79@hotmail.com)
ReplyDeleteJohnsons baby sorbolene, I have sensitive skin and its great for the whole family, plus importantly for one handed application it comes in a pump pack!
ReplyDeleteHave never tried aveeno, sounds like good stuff!
I use anything that is made is Australia and doesn't have methylthiazilanone or something like that in it cause I'm allergic
