Super Dry Skin During Pregnancy - Cocoa Butter? Coconut Oil? Anything Richer?

HI Moms: I'm 6 months pregnant with baby #2, and although cocoa butter seemed to make my belly happy for pregnancy #1, it doesn't seem to be doing the job anymore. My skin is literally peeling off and getting scaly in patches! Happily, no stretch marks on the belly, but is this the precursor? I've heard that coconut oil is supposed to be even better from my friends who are devotees of Whole Foods, but would love any advice on how not to become a molting snake!

Daughter Having Issues "Down There"

My 6 yo has been complaining of pain in her vaginal area, and it is very red. She wipes very well (possibly too well on occasion) and always goes front to back. She is constantly adjusting her underwear or scratching it - which isn't always appropriate! We tried putting A&D ointment on it, and that seems to help a little, but she doesn't like the feel of it. She also has eczema pretty bad, so I'm wondering if this could be another rash spreading from that... She has been taking a clean water bath every couple of days (no soap)...
