My lo (2weeks old) has really bad dry peely skin on her hands and feet. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm a bit worried it could be exma or something. The mw said to rub some olive oil in.. but she keeps on putting her hands in her mouth so it doesnt stay on for very long! x

Shayla was 15 days overdue and she had this, it does go away i just gave her a bath every 3 days to start with as it dries their skin up too much otherwise and just put olive oil in it then if u rub olive oil into hands i put scratch mitts on her so she couldnt put them in her mouth.

p.s- congratulations by the way xxx
Like the other ladies my LO was overdue & had really dry, peeling skin. He also developed a rash which was eczema. I went to the GP and she prescribed Doublebass cream, its so mild I can even use it on his face. I use it after LO's bath and his skin is now beautifully soft and smooth.
Hope you find something that works for you x
Hi im having that same problem but my baby girl was born at 39 weeks and 3 day i have been puting lotion on her it seems to help a little bit but not to much of a difference.
