coconut oil ?

[myonlyhope]

So, maybe this is a silly question, but I want to see more posts over here....

I always hear great things from CD moms about coconut oil for diaper rash, but is it good for everyday moisturizing (like my belly stretch marks)? I don't like the smell of cocoa butter, but I don't want to rub something all over my body if it isn't going to help (lazy).

Also, when you are using it on baby, is it an all the time application, or only when skin looks irritated/rash?

Yes, it's great for anything skin related. You can't really overuse it so you can put it on whenever.

I use coconut oil as my daily moisturizer and DS's moisturizer in the winter. I especially like to use it in the winter because it is not cold on the skin like regular lotion.

Yeah, you can use it pretty much anywhere. My sister uses it on her scalp a couple times/week since it's so dry in the winter.
