How much is too much? - 2007/12/18 03:57 Kiki is quilling and the happiest I see her is when she gets out of the bath. I use Aveeno baby oat bath, and she get's vitamin E afterward. Can I dry out her skin if i bathe her multiple times a week. This isn't my long term plan,but while she is quilling it seems to be a relief for the achy skin.

Re:How much is too much? - 2007/12/18 08:24 I wouldn't think you'd dry her out as long as you weren't sudsing her up every time she took a bath, and continued to use the vitamin E oil. *~*Steph*~*

Re:How much is too much? - 2007/12/18 10:39 Just make sure not to rinse her too well. Quentin has super dry skin and I think it's due to me over-rinsing in fear that soap residue will be left and he will get itchier. Last time I bathed him I didn't rinse excessively (and I used some oatmeal flakes that I powdered) and I haven't seen him scratch much since! Jessica

Re:How much is too much? - 2007/12/26 01:03 For the most part all I've been useing is the aveeno oatmeal bath and i'm not rinsing her off. Then I apply vitamin E. Should I be doing something differently?
