oats for the bath





the other day i noticed rubys skin looking a little dry and flaky. so, when i put her down, i whipped up a tiny little bag. i used a flannel, cut it to the size i wanted, and attached some velcro along the top to seal the bag. inside? organic oats.

oats are a natural anti-inflammatory and help to sooth dry or irritated skin. i just let the bag run under the tap as i was filling the bath, and then let ruby play with it....

and the next day? clear, smooth baby skin.

(i have used this technique for a while now with ruby, and it works every time. i have also put the oats in a muslin bag, which works fine too.)

  5. Aren't you resourceful - what a great idea. Far better than some chemical-packed cream, love the little pouch x
