It was the worst the first 3 weeks after his birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborns-peeling-skin#post-242120 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 13:19:41 +0000 HabesBabe 242120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: same here! I feel like peeling it off... It's gotten a lot better, but now she has a bad case of baby acne :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborns-peeling-skin#post-242058 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 12:47:03 +0000 autumnlove 242058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I left it alone even though it drove me crazy! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborns-peeling-skin#post-242051 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 12:43:39 +0000 Weagle 242051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just left it alone. The ped said it didn't need any kind of moisturizer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborns-peeling-skin#post-242036 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 12:38:52 +0000 chopsuey 242036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told to just leave it alone. Thought I needed to put lotion on my Lo, but nurses and doctor said not to put anything on her skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborns-peeling-skin#post-242030 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 12:34:48 +0000 pelikila 242030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used (and continue to do so) Cetaphil moisturizing cream (the one in the tub). It is awesome stuff and is safe for baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborns-peeling-skin#post-242022 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 12:27:37 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 242022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Less soap will help, but I would rub baby oil on her before putting on her pjs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborns-peeling-skin#post-242014 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 12:24:10 +0000 leelee 242014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pediatrician recommended only using soap in her bath every other bath and that really helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborns-peeling-skin#post-242004 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 12:21:46 +0000 plantains 242004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought you wanted the skin to come off. She is molting so the skin has to be shed. For DD, I mixed pure shea butter with her mustela moisturiser and now her skin looks great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborns-peeling-skin#post-241997 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 12:19:08 +0000 mrs. wagon 241997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you do for newborn peeling skin? It's especially bad on her ankles and wrists since she's wearing socks and mitts all the time. I put some Aquaphor on it, but it just makes it peel worse and the skin comes off in chunks, which I don't think you're supposed to do...!! </p>
