Dry Skin...On my 2 week old baby??


Baby K had her 2 week Wellness Check yesterday, and Chris was sure to ask about the odd looking “dry skin” happening on her feet and a little on her hands. She has had several sponge baths since birth, so it came as a complete surprise to us that this flakey skin is normal in infants and is actually still some of the “yuckies” from birth. It peels off from the creases of the skin.
No Special instructions were given to us. Just that we could keep applying lotion, but knowing that the skin is going to continue to peel until the yucky is all out of the skin.
