    I'd love to hear recommendations. Right now I am using Noodles and Boo but that was a shower gift and no longer found in our area so I need to find another cream. I need something for extra sensitive skin since Henry has his hive issue.

    Abby's allergist and her dermatologist recommended VaniCream. Since switching to it, a lot of her skin issues have resolved. We buy it at Costco b/c it's the cheapest I've found. It's behind the pharmacy (no script needed) and it's about $12.

    I love the Aveeno baby lotions - I use the ezcema cream for me, and the lotion for the boys. It can be a bit pricey, but if I watch the Target coupons that come out, they will have coupons pretty regularly for a dollar off.

    I also use the Aveeno lotions - I have both the large pump of aveeno sensitive skin unscented lotion, and then the smaller squeeze bottle of what they call Aveeno baby - eczema cream. This. My one son started getting this dry skin like rash over his torso and this cleared it right up. I found it at my local Wal-mart.

    Aveeno, Lavanilla (it's sold by Sephora) and Ultimate First Aid (also sold by Sephora). My DS is prone to ezcema and those are the ones that seem to work best on him.

    My DD has sensitive skin and had pretty bad eczema when she was younger, and now only patches mostly in the winter. I had tried everything for her and I saw an article in Parents Magazine about a lotion called Lush Dream Cream. I buy it from Amazon and it's pretty expensive, around $30. It's made from all natural ingredients and I read a lot of reviews before buying it, but it has been amazing! It cleared her eczema patches up and keeps her skin so much softer. I highly recommend it.

    I use Aquaphor or Eucerine (Not the lotion) on my guys.

    Have you tried using pure coconut oil on him?
    The kind some people cook with. Just slayther it on him as needed. It 100% natural, zero additives, you can eat it. And it's GREAT for dry skin. We live in a desert and that's all we use.

    We use Vanicream for Nate, and that stuff feels GREAT! It's got no formaldehyde, fragrance or other nasty stuff, and is super rich and creamy.

    This week my nanny showed me a CVS flyer, and they have it on sale for $9.99!!

    We use Eucerin lotion. Very light but oily when it first goes on - then their skin is so soft. I also love vanicream personally - never used it for them. We use Aveeno bodywash/shampoo..heard good things about the lotion. Good luck. :) (P.S. Coconut oil sounds nice - I use Macadamia Nut oil on my face that I bought on this Nut farm in Guatemala and it is awesome! Obviously oily when it goes on and in seconds pure as silk)

    We use Aveeno sensitive skin lotion and baby wash. Only thing that doesn't make Xavier break out. If he gets really dry we use Aquaphor or vaseline. Its what all the dermatologists I worked with recommended. Especially if you don't mind the temporary greasiness (we use it before bed) vaseline is simple, pure and cheap!

    This is what I use too, I have eczema on the palms of my hands and soles of my feet, and my derm recommended this lotion, it works fantastic! Otherwise, I love the aveeno eczema lotion, when I can find it in stores, I can't always find it though.
