DOH!... Just realised you wanted something cheaper...!
Sorry - got ahead of myself a bit there because i love moo goo so much. Haha

I use cetaphil on my face, and DP's sis's face as it is super sensative... I know my auntie used cataphil all over my cousin.

Its like......... $6 a bottle...?

Also, like PP's have said, almond oil in a bath is good too, but i dont find it too work as quickly.

Alternatively, back on the moo goo subject, get the moo goo bath milk (the powder).... It is amazingly moisturising! Its in like a silver and clear zip lock bag and is like $8-10.

Good luck!!

We wayshave that problem with babies over here in Africa so we use Vasoline daily. It's cheap, easy, no perfume and works!

It's very cheap here and lasts us quite a while (we pay about 50cents a month per baby!) and just rub it all over them after their bath. Works well too because even when we have no water so have to skip the bath, it can still be used when we change them for bed!

I just got the Moo Goo Milkwash last week and already DS skin is so super soft. It's gorgeous. He gets mild eczema and this has worked a treat. It's not cheap, but you don't need to use much and it smells so beautiful. I wash his hair with it too. I like that it's all natural.

I use bsbyscent on my boys, but it isn't cheap. Lasts for ages though!

A's dermatologist suggests dermacare from Woolies. It's really inexpensive.

ETA: I've used almond oil in the past too.
