New mother – ry cracked hand from always washing. Any tips?

Hello
I am a new mother. From constantly washing my hands between feeds and nappy changes I am finding that my hands are dry and cracked and VERY SORE.
My husband keeps telling me to use gloves, but I forget. Does anyone know of any good creams or ideas to help me? I am 28 and my hands look like the hands of a 70 year old!

    I agree with PrettyP on the Hemp Handcream, from the Body Shop is the best.
    Also you could try slathering on your hemp, vaseline or lucas` pawpaw ointment and slipping on some gloves overnight to let your hands heat up and help it soak in.

    Hemp handcream is awesome. You only need the tiniest bit.

    Hi Nikkiko, welcome to the forum. I found in this situation that washing my hands with sorbolene instead of soap was helpful, it`s not as drying. 🙂
