I like to lie and soak in my bubble bath for a while, then I have a wash with flannel and soap substitute. I haven't used standard soap for years.
Towels: Just one big fluffy bath sheet to wrap around me and snuggle into - we have bath-mats for standing on and I usually wash my hair separately.
My apologies: It's not seaweed, it's Brown Algae -

Excellent EFFT, you've just made my day
(I googled but didn't see that one!)
I believe 'Pure Baby' have their own website. You may find other useful products on it.
Just had a look at it EFFT, thanks. They're doing a 3 for 2 on the bubble bath My wee one is going to be excited when he can finally have his very first bubble bath!! Sounds so silly but it's one of those things that kids love and for him to never be allowed one is sad!

No Ells, it's not silly at all. I was just imagining the excitement and awe on his face when he realizes that he REALLY CAN get in this big bubbly bath.

Aww Ells,that will be such a priceless moment for him and you.

We recently introduced him to 'sparkly' baths......baby oil in the bath makes it look all sparkly and he loved it. He much preferred that to some of the things we've put in them over the years! His least favourite being a seaweed powder thing that turned the bath brown and smelt vile. He saw it and refused to get in because 'someone shit in the bath'

Ells the poor wee man,eczema must be terrible to deal with for him and you.An old neighbour of mine had 2 kids with it,they used to end up bandaged quite often,other times it looked so painful I could have cried looking at them.They're grown now,roughly the same age as my eldest 2 so they used to meet up every now and again and they holidayed together a few times,they must have outgrown it Ells as they don't appear to have any problems now.
I wince when I see his sore spots but to be honest he's so used to it he just shrugs it off and tells me he's grand! He has to be forced into getting his creams on though but apart from that I have to say he has shocked me at how well he copes with it. He's been in and out of hospital a few times with it when he was younger because the GP would never give me what was needed to treat him at home. After a few months though they did see how severe it was and then started to give everything I asked for which has helped a lot as it's easier to keep it limited with the right stuff.
This weather though is the bane of my life! I could cry looking at his cracked knuckles and right now his socks are stuck to his feet because he must have been scratching in the night and they have either been bleeding or weeping. He's running around playing though and isn't one bit bothered. 
He's a wee trooper.
