Since I remember my baby has had dry/itchy skin. Not until about 3 months ago did I notice that his skin was also flakey. I've come across a lot of post talking about food allergies that might cause itchy skin, so after that I decide that I should change his food to a simple diet (blue buffalo) to reduce the risk of food allergies. He's been on this food for about 3 months and I got to say that I don't see him itch/scratch as much as he used to. I feel like this food slightly reduced his itchiness but he's still pretty flakey and his skin just looks dry and wrinkly. My question now is, is there a specific shampoo and condition anyone out there has used that has cured your babies itchiness and flakes. I once used an oatmeal shampoo cause I heard that was good for itchy skin, but surprisingly he began to flake 5x's worse then he normally did. Or is there a spray or something that someone uses to moisturizers their babies skin that work?

Someone please help! This has been going for a while now and I don't like!
