Hello ladies,
My DS#1 never did this. But the baby's skin is peeling all over, especially in the creases like ankles, elbows. The midwife at his 1 week checkup said it was normal, but geez, it looks weird.
(I'm using all fragrance-free stuff, so I'm pretty sure it's not an allergic reaction)
Anyone else? And how long will it last?! Lizard baby!
Re: Anyone else's baby peeling like a lizard?
You are not alone!
Also, my pediatrician said that it was totally normal and will go away in a few weeks. He basically said that after living in a "hot tub" for nine months, your skin tends to get dry when exposed to air!
same here. I kept staring at this wondering "how the hell to lizards pee?!"

I did this same thing .. multiple times LOL
YES! Edie did this too and had allergic reactions to EVERYTHING until she was about a year old. Even any CA Baby or any other hypoallergenic stuff.
The ONLY thing that made it better was Cetaphil daily cleanser. The regular kind for adults.
We're using it now and Adeline's dryness is a lot better.
Drawback, no baby smell
No smell at all. But I JUST switched Edie to J&J baby shampoo at almost 19mo because her skin is finally more tolerant and J&J baby shampoo is THE ULTIMATE baby smell for me. She still gets a nighttime bottle and I totally sniff her hair like a creepster!
