my sons been waking up around 2am scratching almost every night for the past 3 months. I put lotion on him right after his bath, so around 8pm, but by the time he wakes up it feels like its already worn off (completely gone, not just thin). someone in another group mentioned putting it on closer to actual bedtime instead of right after the bath. does the timing actually make a difference or does it just wear off no matter what we do?
when should lotion actually go on before bed?

the timing thing tracks with something I noticed on my own skin, even though it’s not eczema or anything like what your son’s dealing with. I went through a stretch this past winter where I’d put lotion on right out of the shower before dinner, and by the time I actually got into bed a while later my hands were already dry again, especially around the knuckles.

doubt it’s the timing, mine fades by 11pm 🤔

GlowGarden said: doubt it’s the timing. for us moving it closer to bedtime (actually helped some), he lasted longer before the scratching started so timing isn’t nothing for us
