Baby has extremely dry skin?

I have a one month baby boy and his entire body is extremely dry. I use Aveeno moisture cream on him twice a day. We don't bathe him excessively and he has a humidifier in his room. What more should I or could I do for this? I know it's not a huge deal and it's not hurting baby in anyway, but would like to do all I can for it. Thanks!!!

    The lotion you are using may not be enough. You should really talk to a doctor about it. My baby's doctor recommended one to me that worked great. Now if only I could spell it correctly - Eschuerin - well, something like that. You can get it at Wal-Mart, its in a white moisturizer cream - type jar. There is also a generic brand, but I don't think it works as good.

    Try rice starch in his bath water every day. No soap, for a few days to a week, just a soak in rice starch. My ped recommended it and it works like a dream, and completely natural too.
