We seem to spend half the day at the moment rubbing creams into the boys' skin! They've developed a bit of eczema here and there and Theo has even been diagnosed with impetigo! He's got a really sore bit of skin just below his left cheek - poor sausage!
Our lubrication routine involves:
1 - Rubbing Diprobase cream (an emolient) all over their bodies at each nappy change to lubricate their skin.
2 - Covering any patches of dry skin with Efcortelan cream (a hydrocortisone) twice a day.
3 - Adding Oilatum to their bath every day.
All this adds up to some very soft skinned boys! Although that fact that Oilatum is parafin based means we probably shouldn't smoke around the boys anymore... :-)
