Hello ladies. Babygirl has dry peeling skin on her face and head. Most is on her eyebrows, the creases next to her nostrils and her temple areas. I was wondering if other mommy's with the same situation just leave it alone, or do you put something on it to help? I'm just a bit tentative about putting anything on it since it's her face...I don't want to cause her to break out or anything.
DD has pretty dry skin all over her body (must take after me!) I've put lotion on her body and the top of her head, but I've left her face alone. If her skin is like mine, putting something on it will only disturb it. I agree with PP though that lots of moms swear by coconut oil, and that would be more gentle for the skin on baby's face.
I use aveeno baby fragrance free on her entire body including face and she has VERY sensitive skin. No reaction at all, but it worked really well
This is what I use as well. My peditration said when DD's skin is dry to put lotion on her with each diaper change. When DD#1 had really bad dry skin and lotion wasn't doing the trick we put Bag Balm on her face (https://www.bagbalm.com/). It usually took care of the dry skin in 24 hours.
We use Cetaphyl on her body (as recommended by her pedi) and I put Aden+Anais Mum and Bub ointment on her dry skin on face. We live in MI so the cold dries her out. Have you also put a humidifier in the room yet to see if that helps?
Yes we use a humidifier, yet she's still all peely. Thanks for the suggestions ladies. I'll have to try some of these out.
My son's face is like that too, it's like scaly leather The rest of him really isn't that dry, and I've been using Eucerin but it doesn't seem to be doing much. I'm going to try the coconut oil, hopefully that helps!
Burt's Bees multipurpose.....live the scent, consistency and I just posted today that my LO had been having the same issue but this was a great choice!
Re: baby's dry skin.. suggestions?
My cat can read EKGs, can your human do that?
