What is THAT?!?

Now that we've gotten through the first couple months and over the weird newborn traits, is there anything that freaks you out?

For me it's the cradle cap. So gross!! I use coconut oil on W's scalp a couple times a week... What about you?!?

  • @Lilygrace48‌ I hate that. I absolutely hate when dead skin gets in his little chub rolls. They are cute rolls though!
  • Big spit up bubbles that you pop when they hit the burp cloth
  • The soft spot on his head still freaks me out!

    This!!!

    Sometimes the boys will be interacting with me and then suddenly look off in the same direction at the same spot. I see nothing, no shadows, etc and every time I think of that Bruce Willis movie... (Ahh! I can't even say it!) Creeps me out. Especially in the MOTN.

    This exactly! She always stares off and smiles at the same spot in her room in the MOTN. Creeps me right out!
  • Our formula causes loose stools that shoot out so loud. I could hear him pooping from another room this morning.

    Like someone else mentioned, the squised wet penis is pretty weird.

  • Squishy baby skulls.  When I hear about people 'molding' it back because their LO has a flat head I gag a little...

    Wait, what is this?
    After the circumcision, the nurse referred to his penis as a rose bud

  • We got a bad case of stank neck earlier in the summer. Poor thing basically had a yeast infection inside her neck rolls and in her armpits. It was so gross, and of course I felt horrible because I'd let it happen!

    You can see his pulse in his soft spot!! It's weird when I go to kiss him on top of his head and I accidentally kiss his soft spot. Freaks me out.. Every. Single. Time!

  • @babygabe614‌ and @ktcmama‌ - we used to get stank neck, too. Now multiple times a day i clean out his neck rolls with a wipe, lift his chin n let it all dry for a sec, then sprinkle cornstarch in there. I make sure to rub the cornstarch into the creases. Haven't had a single issue since i started doing it. Gets a little messy so I lay a towel or burp cloth under him while I do it. But it really helps!
