I also wipe them every morning and evening. The good thing about infant skin is it heals so fast! So hopefully it will be back to normal quick after the dr. appt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-with-super-dry-skin#post-1490460 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 22:51:41 +0000 daniellemybelle 1490460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For something like that, I would use Vaseline or Aquaphor, but I would also go see the doctor. Poor baby :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-with-super-dry-skin#post-1489394 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 13:08:30 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1489394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch, that looks sore! Poor kiddo.<br /> I used Earth Angel Baby Balm on her for the first little while, then Aveeno baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-with-super-dry-skin#post-1489333 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 12:54:58 +0000 avivoca 1489333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: Yep, that's what they gave us in the hospital! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-with-super-dry-skin#post-1489283 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 12:42:34 +0000 MrsH 1489283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Vaseline and Aquaphor for LOs dry skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-with-super-dry-skin#post-1489274 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 12:40:46 +0000 MsLipGloss 1489274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would use Aquaphor until you can get in to see the Ped . . . I wouldn't put Nivea on a NB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-with-super-dry-skin#post-1489175 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 12:09:43 +0000 matador84 1489175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I forgot our pedi office closes at 1130 on wed. Poor baby!@MrsTiz: I totally realized that with my son! Their little neck rolls just hide so much!, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-with-super-dry-skin#post-1489138 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 11:58:31 +0000 Ash 1489138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd call the dr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-with-super-dry-skin#post-1489061 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 11:32:26 +0000 MrsTiz 1489061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch! I agree with @kiddosc: that is a little too red for my liking.<br /> It took me longer than I care to admit to realize I needed to wipe his neck gunk down daily, it never occurred to me that he was storing food in there for the winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-with-super-dry-skin#post-1489044 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 11:27:40 +0000 kiddosc 1489044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The look of the yellow on her collar makes me think that it's oozing, I would call a doctor for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-with-super-dry-skin#post-1489032 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 11:25:26 +0000 matador84 1489032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: at NB age? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-with-super-dry-skin#post-1488958 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 10:59:38 +0000 avivoca 1488958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the thick Nivea lotion on her dry feet/wrists/ankles and it worked really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-with-super-dry-skin#post-1488947 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 10:54:28 +0000 MamaMoose 1488947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doc said just straight vaseline in the early weeks. It worked for us on our LO's dry wrists and ankles/feet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nb-with-super-dry-skin#post-1488944 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 10:53:07 +0000 matador84 1488944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed a couple days ago my newborn had yellow gunk on her collar. It kind of looked like just sweat under her neck rolls. I looked at her neck today and the skin is incredibly dry and red. Aquaphor? Call dr? </p> [attach=2081/14/n2bysj.338x600.image.jpg]
