Because my son had such bad eczema I tried so many different products. Any product that said it helped eczema I probably tried, but these are the ones that actually worked.
Recommended by my dermatologist. Moms swear by tubby todd, but that did absolutely nothing. This is actually good and works for the whole family. Doesn't feel super heavy and greasy.
La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+MAX Body Cream
This one was so expensive for the size of the product, but it helped repair my son's skin during the thick of winter with his eczema. If you couldn't already tell from this list, we've tried many things for hydration.
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 Cream
EWG verified, scent free, used right after baths before moisturizer when baby's skin was as dry as sand paper to increase hydration.
Evereden Soothing Baby Massage Oil Fragrance-Free
Keeps baby's bum safe from diaper rashes and is EWG verified. I opted for safer ingredients whenever I could.
Triple Paste Diaper Rash Cream Zinc Oxide 16oz
Safe ingredients, reef safe, and it actually protects your baby.
Badger Mineral Baby Sunscreen SPF 40, 2.9oz
Used this to keep baby's diaper area dry to absorb excess moisture to prevent diaper rashes.
ATOPALM Derma Soothing Powder Pact 0.8oz
Bath Time
Again, being conscious of my son's eczema I only chose products that were not stripping.
Pediatrician recommended to keep baby's skin hydrated as his ezcema was drying his skin. I've repurchased this every time it runs out.
La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Foaming Oil
Gentle body wash for babies. Korean mom approved. Atopalm is one of the top brands in Korea for babies.
ATOPALM Baby Wash & Shampoo, Sulfate-Free, 10.1oz
Helped a lot with his craddle cap
Frida Baby 3-Step Cradle Cap System
Health & Sick Day Care
Must have for cold and flu season.
Little Remedies Baby Saline Nasal Spray 3pk
Don't get the other smaller aspirators they will break before your baby turns 1. Mine broke after a few months and decided to splurge on a hospital grade aspirator. Momcozy sells for the most reasonable price. The others are way over priced and this ...
Momcozy Nasal Aspirator for Baby, 9 Levels
Actual clean medicine, not just “dye free.”
Genexa Infants Acetaminophen Baby Pain & Fever
Kept this in every room when baby was a newborn.
Babyganics Alcohol-Free Foaming Hand Sanitizer, 8.45 oz, 3 Pack
I tried other brands, but they were flavored and my baby didn't like it. Ddrops is a tried and true amongst moms for a reason.
Ddrops Baby 400 IU Vitamin D, 90 Drops
Cleaning Essentials
Nothing else really gets out a blowout stain like Miss Mouth's
Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray
EWG verified, clean ingredients to clean your baby's bottles. Works wonderfully.
ATTITUDE Baby Bottle & Dish Soap, Unscented, 33.8 fl oz
Great alternative to using strong chemicals around baby's toys, play areas, and eating surfaces.
