Frequently Asked Questions

Q: From what age can I use Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture Lotion?

A: Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture Lotion is suitable for use from birth. The fragrance-free, hypoallergenic formula is designed for newborn skin sensitivity. However, for very young newborns (under 4 weeks), discuss moisturiser use with your midwife or Plunket nurse, as some guidance suggests minimal product application in the first weeks of life while the skin barrier matures.

Q: Can Aveeno Baby Lotion be used on babies with eczema?

A: Yes — Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture Lotion is widely used for babies with eczema-prone skin. The colloidal oatmeal formula soothes irritated skin and helps maintain the moisture barrier. It is recommended as a daily emollient for eczema maintenance between flares. During active eczema flares, medicated treatments prescribed by your doctor are needed alongside regular emollient use. Consult your pharmacist or GP for a comprehensive eczema management plan for your baby.

Q: Is Aveeno Baby Lotion safe if baby puts hands in mouth?

A: Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture Lotion is formulated to be safe for baby skin and the ingredients are not intended to be ingested, but the formula is considered safe for incidental oral contact that may occur when babies put their hands in their mouths after application. As with all skincare products, minimise oral exposure — allow the lotion to absorb before allowing hand-to-mouth contact.

Q: How often should I apply Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture Lotion?

A: Apply once or twice daily as needed to keep baby's skin soft and moisturised. The best time to apply is immediately after bath time while the skin is still slightly damp — this locks in moisture from bathing and maximises the hydrating effect. For babies with particularly dry skin or eczema, more frequent application throughout the day may be beneficial.
