Skin question

I need a little help... Last week we went off oxygen- I still can't help but grin when I say that- and we have been working on healing his face from the tender grips. He has had them every day for over 3 months so there is a perfect circle that is red and bumpy and dry. I have been using baby aquaphor 3-4 times a day and really loading it up at night before bed and we just can't seem to get rid of it. Any suggestions?

    If you breast feed, you can put some breast milk on his skin...breast milk is great for skin issues. Also hear a lot of moms recommend coconut oil, though I've never personally tried it.

    Congrats on going off oxygen. :)

    Genious! Kind of a duh moment for me, I'm all about the natural stuff. Thanks! I'm kind of lucky, we are done BF but I had a little stash that got left at my moms house that I can use.
