  Yep, just try to ignore. Lotion that young will actually make the flaking worse. It should go away within a few weeks.

  Oh, I've never heard that.  When the nurse helped me give DS a sink bath at the hospital, we lotioned his hands, feet and tummy because they were all so dry.  So I guess I would say, use the lotion.  But the flakiness is typical of newborns and will wear off.  I would use the lotion more if you think his skin feels dry.

  All babies go through that.  They are just getting rid of their nb skin.  It will pass soon regardless of lotion.

  I ignored that rule and put lotion on DD when she was about a week and a half. ?
