my friend heidi wrote a while back about bathing her kid with oatmeal. i was interested when i read it, but never really did anything about it b/c i'm lazy- yo. i finally got off my bum and took a guess as to how this works. the reason why i never specifically asked her was because babe #1 started to look *real* bad on his skin, and nothing was helping calm down the rash. the docs confirmed it wasn't a big deal (medically speaking, that is), so i decided since it had been here for a week, lets try this natural thing called oatmeal in a bath.

now we start the day off with eating oatmeal, and end the days with bathing with ground up oatmeal. i miss the baby scent that the lotions have and all that jazz, but i'm *loving* how deliciously soft his skin is. we've only done the oatmeal bath twice, but his face and skin looks sooo much better. i've been pleased. so thanks heidi for sharing with us readers! (she's real smart)

*so cute!*
