Anything I can use?

Question

My baby is 3 weeks on Wednesday & I thought by now her skin would stop shedding.. her skin is super soft & I bath/lotion every other day but it’s still super flaky. Anything I can put on it?

Answer

I was told no lotion until 2 months. Peeling is normal as their skin adjusts to life outside the womb : )

Answer

I’d suggest to stop bathing her so much. She’s brand new and the constant bathing is drying her skin out which is probably why it’s like that. Contrary to what we all have come to believe, babies don’t really need more than one bath a week unless they get super messy.

Answer

I was told not to put lotion on quite yet. The lotion might be drying out her skin. Also, may want to bathe her every 3 days for the same reason. Hope that helps!

Answer

Bathe less and use coconut oil on it

Answer

My baby has it around her hands/wrist and her feet/ankles. Totally normal. She’s 2 1/2 weeks and it’s starting to go away on its own. My ped said lotion was ok only after baths. We’ve done baths every 2 to 3 days
