Mine don’t have eczema but when my toddler had chickenpox oat baths worked soooooo well and he found it really soothing so I am assuming it would have the same affect! X

also I do think the creams matter after the bath, Dr's where giving me all sorts of creams, took him to a dermatologist who specialises in baby skin, said anything with parrifin as an active ingredient avoid, everything the Dr's gave me had parrifin as one of the main ingredients.
since switching creams and doing the oat baths his skin is great xx

I didn’t do a oat bath as he has alitte allergy to oat only found it out when I started using aveeno on his skin

I did a breast milk bath it worked pretty well but agree with person above about it’s important the cream you use

that's a very good point, aveeno doesn't suit my girl either so probably should avoid an oat bath! 😫 xx
