umm. when my son was born the doctor recommened dove hypoallergenic for sensitive skin. there is no scent. and it moisturizes their skin.

Both of my children have sensitivities to scent and chemical products. My 9 month old daughter reacts to ANYTHING baby powder scented, including in diapers and lotions and even if I use unscented/non alcohol baby wipes ~either too much or on her face~ she breaks out in a rash or gets really dry, ashy, and sometimes scabby. My 5 yr old son has reactions to different lotions, shampoos, baby washes than his sister. He tends to get really dry, ashy skin, and sometimes scabby skin when he reacts.

Burt's Bees makes baby products now. I swear by the baby bee's products. They run about $10 for an 8 ounce bottle, but it is about as natural as you can get. This is the only product line I've been able to find that both of my children do not react to. i've tried probably everything else, including over the counter, prescription, and products that are supposed to be great for eczema. I thought if it was great for skin conditions it would be great for sensitivities...

I tried OILATUM soap recommended by my baby's Pedia. It's good for dry and sensitive skins. Try it.

Do you really need soap right now? How dirty can he be? I've found that water works pretty well to keep things relatively clean - it's not like babies have body oder or anything.

Does he react to baby wipes/diaper solution on his diaper area? Can you use wipes to clean the dirty areas, like where his knees get dirty from crawling or where food gets all over his face and neck?

You might try Arbonne Baby Care. It's motto is pure, safe, beneficial. Their soap can be used for babies with sensitive skin. They also make baby lotion. I've used on my daughter. It worked great and smells great too. Only drawback is that you'll have to order online unless you know an Arbonne consultant.
Hope you find something that works!

My eldest son has very bad skin and we found that E45 shampoo, Aveeno bath oil and lotions and Eucherin have all worked wonders on him. He is now 4. I use Halos n' Horns on my youngest who is 10 months which again is great xxx

My daughter doesn't have any skin issues other than brands of diapers and wipes. But when I was pregnant I researched everything I could about anything and everything. Especially if it came to something I was putting on my babies skin cause I didn't know if she was going to be sensitive to the fragrance shampoos and body washes. I bought this brand called Mustela. They sell it at Babies R Us. All the reviews I've read on it were excellent. And every time I have an allergic reaction on my skin due to allergies, or sometimes perfumes I use her shampoo and body wash and cause it feels really good. Hope this helped!

Take a look at the products you are using....did you know that BABY & CHILDREN SHAMPOOS
Contains: QUATERNIUM-15 (FORMALDEHYDE) - Carcinogenic, known to cause cancer, kidney and liver damage. DEA,TEA,MEA - Hormone disruptor's, cancer causing agents. PROPYLENE GLYCOL - Neurotoxin and can cause kidney and liver damage. PHTHALATES - Can impact birth outcomes, including gestational age and birth weight, can cause low fertility and anatomical abnormalities related to the male genitalia in early puberty.
I was shocked at this....I now use Renew lotion, and bath items, also Koala kids bath wash on my children. The renew is a favorite in our house...helps with all skin types. If your interested in learning more let me know. I would love to share safer products for you and your family at a fraction of the cost of what your spending now.

Johnson and Johnson Shea Butter formula. It is sometimes hard to find but that is all that I use. My sons skin stays moist. He is Puerto RIcan so I had to find one that would work well on his skin. He was even diagnosed with Eczema and the body wash and body lotion has been doing its job.

I agree with the recommendation for Burt's Bees. My daughter has extremely sensitive skin so we bathe her every other day with Burt's Bees. And we make sure that all of the soap is completely washed off by using a hose attachment on the faucet - dry her & immediately smear a thick layer of Cetaphil cream all over her body. This has really helped her dryness & she has not had any reaction to this combination. Hope this helps! =)

I use Burts Bees hair & body wash and it works really well. For his dry skin I actually use plain olive oil, it works really good if you put it on right after their bath plus its all natural. As one other mom suggested bathing every other day might help also. Hope this helps and I would love to know what you find that works :)

Couldn't recommend Aqueous cream enough. My little girl can't use any scented soaps, so we all use aqueous cream. It's an emollient and a cream so you can use it in the bath as a soap and after the bath to moisturise. Docs can prescribe it but you can buy it from any pharmacy too. Hope this helps :)

My daughter has Eczema pretty bad so we go through this alot. I only bath her every other day, I use aveno baby wash but make sure to rinse her very well with clean water and never let her sit in soapy water. I usually start draining the tub as I am washing her and have a container with clean water to poor over her to rinse off. Then I use cetaphil (the cream works better than the lotion) after her baths. If she gets a really dry itchy patch I will put a cortisone cream on it.
