      Hi Monika,
      So sorry to hear your babe is going through this! Neem in sesame oil is excellent for baby skin issues. Use this on the problem areas daily.

    Does this soap need to be made fresh for every bath? If not, how long does it last for?

      If you are using fresh milk, it could be reused for a few days if left in the refrigerator. You can also use powdered milk and just add water for each use.
