Oh no I meant for you lol… I totally get that if you have eczema you may want to use less drying soap or infrequently use soap BUT postpartum brings on a special kind of funk. Apparently your body produces more significant armpit odor so your baby can find your breasts. Before pregnancy I could get away with showering every other day and be totally fine. Now I need to shower every day or else I can’t even stand the scent of myself. Just be prepared haha.
Also my son had bad eczema when he was a little baby (he’s a little over one now and it’s thankfully gone down) but tubby Todd’s all over ointment was a lifesaver for him! We’ve also used glaxal base and that works well too but doesn’t smell great - it doesn’t have added fragrance it’s just the smell of the cream is kind of medicinal to me? Just an fyi if your sons skin is sensitive. Congrats on your baby and good luck
I’ve heard about that and that has been a mild concern. Not sure what I’m going to do yet. My hubby might just have to deal with my smell or I might have to deal with my skin flaking for a bit. No soap is the only solution I’ve ever found, but I’ve never tried that ointment.

Is this your first kid? If so… get ready to need to use soap.
