Q

What are your thoughts on baby oil? Is it good for baby skin?

Most babies have skin that doesn't need any extra oil. But if they have dry skin or eczema, a moisturizer or oil can be very helpful. I like a gentle moisturizer like Eucerin, but baby oil or even Vaseline may used for some kids, if their skin is especially dry or irritated.
