  DS had some dry, scaly skin between his eyebrows and on his ears.  Aquaphor cleared it right up.  Good luck!

  My pedi recommended Eucerin or Cetaphil.

  I use California Baby Calendula Cream. Works for everything else too!

  Cali baby calendula is awesome. Olive oil can do a good job too.

  This exactly!  The stuff is amazing~ it also works great on diaper rash

  my pedi said to not put anything on it the old skin needs to come off.  She is three weeks old and most of the scaling is gone now.

  This is what my pedi said also. But she added that if I felt like I needed to put something on it to use Aveeno.

  At first I tried using nothing either, like they said. The peeling never went away though and he started to get itchy from it. He would actaully rub his hand over and over the dry spots and get fussy. As soon as I used the cream it stopped peeling and he stopped itching at it. Guess every baby is different. I personally don't like Aveeno once I looked at the ingredients list.
