Customer Reviews of Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Soothing Baby Bath Treatment, Fragrance Free, 5-Count Packets (Pack of 6)
Customer Review: Gave it to my friend
Summary: 2 Stars
My firend recommended me to buy this product. So I guess somebody likes and needs it. For my baby - it was messy and useless. I use Aveeno baby moisturising cream for after bath routine (Not really sure if he needs it or just I like it) and Aquaphor for dry patches. Aquaphor was our saviour for seborrheic dermatitis!
So, I gave 5 new boxes to my friend.
Customer Review: Oat/Wheat allergy baby, DO NOT USE !!!
Summary: 1 Stars
It's very disappointing that Aveeno doesn't put this warning on their box. Colloidal oatmeal is just oatmeal ground into very fine powder, so for babies with oat/wheat allergy, Aveeno products are a big NO NO!!! Baby eczema is mostly related to protein allergy, the most of all dairy protein allergy. Eczema babies are very likely to have allergy to wheat and oat, which contains several kinds of protein.

Update: I read an article on Reuters, titled "Kids with sensitive skin may be allergic to oats". The researchers suggest that oat-containing skin products be avoided in children younger than two years old.
Some excerpt from the article:

"None of the parents of these children suspected an oat allergy in their child. Previous history taking and clinical examinations also had not identified these allergies, the researchers note...... "
"Of the children who were tested with oat protein allergy by repeatedly applying oat cream to a skin area previously unaffected by atopic dermatitis, 28 percent developed eczema or other skin eruptions......"
