Normal?

Question

Anyone else newborn got flaky skin? 
He’s 2 weeks old and he seems to be peeling on all over his body! We’ve used lotion but doesn’t seem to be doing anything! 
Is this normal?!

Answer

Completely normal! Their skin is adjusting to the outside world and air, it’s used to being in fluid. Get a good lotion, it may or may not help but I noticed on all of my kids (4) it went away after 3ish weeks

Answer

Try the eucerin cream lotion. It works wonders. My sons skin is this way as well.

Answer

Totally normal. I used for my little one cream from mustela 2 times the day.  One time after bath and one time during the day.

Answer

Answer

totally normal i was told at the hospital that this would happen and to just leave it alone and not put lotion on or it would delay its natural process

Answer

So normal. They basically shed a whole layer of skin now that they’re on the outside and
Not soaking in liquid where they lived for 9mos! You don’t need to use anything but lotion is fine.

Answer

Mine had very flaky skin for the first two weeks. Before I could ask about it his pediatrician looked at him and then told me that the flaky skin was perfectly normal and not to worry. He said I could try using a baby lotion if I wanted to, but that I also didn't have to do anything as it would just slowly come off in time.
