Dry skin
Lily has quite a lot of dry, peeling skin on her tummy and legs. It deosn't look nasty & it's clearly not bothering her but I was wondering if I should put something on it (Vaseline? Sudocrem?) or just leave it.
She's only 8 days old and has now had 3 baths. Do you think her skin's just getting used to the baby wash?
Thanks for your advice.

Archie had dry skin which stayed for a few weeks and we found baby oil after his bath did the trick. Also I don't bother with baby washes/ soaps- just dip him in water.
firstly congratulations!
secondly - my lo suffers with dry skin, my hv advised to put on diprobase, keep cotton next to her skin and bath in plain water. I tend to put sudacrem on her dry patches when I change her nappy.
Similar to what tiger lily said - you dont need to bath her every day aslong as you top and tail her.

Why does Sudocrem make their skin drier, mrsjbourne? I use Sudocrem on Lily's bottom every so often and it seems fine...?
Fraser had dry skin was told to put nothing on him and not bath him unless nessecary dry skin went within a week.
Hope your feeling well following the birth
