Dry skin

My LO is 5 weeks old and has very dry skin on her forehead and across her eyebrows (almost looks yellow) is this normal? What can I do for it?

Re: Dry skin

  • My LO has dry patches around the top of her nose. My health visitor said it was ok to use a tiny bit of gentle moisturiser on it, so I put some Nivea Soft on it and it seems to have worked. I'd talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you're unsure.

  • I'm not sure if it'll help, but my LO has baby acne. I've been putting breast milk on her forehead and cheeks and it's been clearing up pretty quickly. 
  • My midwives suggested coconut oil. Haven't tried it on my LO's face yet but it has worked wonders for her bum and feet.
