Hydrocortisone 1% can be suitable for babies as young as 3 months old, especially for treating eczema. It is recommended to apply it twice a day, in a thin layer, only on the affected areas. If there is no improvement after 1 to 2 weeks, it is advisable to stop using it and consult a doctor. Starting with a lower concentration, such as hydrocortisone 0.5%, which can be bought over the counter at pharmacies, may also be a good option. In case of a rare adverse reaction to Aveeno cream, it might be better to use a neutral cream rich in ceramides for skin regeneration, such as Cutibase or Cerave creams.
