Skin Eczema On Babies
Mineral Oil or Olive Oil for infant's skin?
My baby has really dry skin/eczema on her face and ears. At the hospital they recommended olive oil. I also read that mineral oil is good too. Which is best? I prefer the mineral oil because the olive oil really makes her stink. But I want to make sure I am using what is best to keep her skin moisturized.
Neither...all you need to do is this:
Start with an oatmeal bath daily:

Immediately following the bath apply Aquaphilic ointment:

Apply the ointment at each diaper change for two days (that's how I remembered to do it several times a day)...by then it should be pretty much gone, be sure to keep up the baths and apply the ointment right after them to keep it from flaring up again.
This is what our pediatrician recommended and it has pretty much eliminated my 7 month old daughter's eczema...I recommended it to my cousin who's son's face was terrible with eczema and it has solved his problem as well.
