Have you tried using breast milk? You can either rub some on directly or express for a milk bath. Really great for their skin! Failing that some coconut oil in the bath and dab dry. Be careful with the coconut oil because it makes baby super slippy when getting them out
Our baby is also getting eczema now too, on her torso like this and in her little chunky creases. We’re finding moisturising 3 times a day with an emollient cream (such as E45, Epimax, Oilatum or a baby specific one) and using the Aveeno dermexa night time balm in the morning and night on the worst parts (behind knees mainly) keeps it under control! Also, if you can pump, pump some extra milk to add to baths. Oat baths are great too. Obviously go to your GP if it doesn’t resolve with OTC products and home remedies, but I’d be wary about visiting the GP straight away as sometimes they can be a bit steroid cream happy and prescribe unnecessarily, which can impact on baby’s skin barrier and long term skin condition.
I found that sudocrem was the only thing that really helped with my little ones eczema x
Aveeno can be really good for eczema sometimes
