Did any of you other ladies have a problem with Johnson and Johnson body wash and lotion drying their baby's skin out .its not so bad today but yesterday she had huge flakes of skin falling off her hands and feet and the rest of her skin is really dry as well. Do any of y'all use honest brand washes or what do you recommend??
Her umbilical cord fell off like 3-4days ago but she still gets sponge baths until her belly button is healed some more and I only bathe her every other day I read it's not good to give newborns bathes every day @princevince
Yah my doc told me not to put anything on the skin. We didn't bathe him fully because of him being a newborn then his circumcision but after the peeling we bathed normally and I used coconut oil on his skin and made his body wash. Because he had an excema outbreak that went away but when I discovered honest company I was so happy.
@princevince, @tigerlilly @wyatts_mommy_0106 @spudssmommie ohh okay thanks ladies :)! Now I'm not so worried about the peeling but I'm definitely gonna try out the honest brand I've heard good things and hopefully her back and belly won't be so dry
it might not be the soap its normal for a newborn to peel. my son did and that's what his Dr told me to keep lotioning him and he should be fine. I still use Johnson and Johnson and never had a problem after his peeling stage
baby skin peels for weeks. dont put lotion til atleast a month old. but my lil girl is 6 weeks and is still peeling but around her face. its a process but u gotta be patient.
FYI aveeno is the same as Johnsons. I love the smell of the bedtime lotion but it's not so good for babies. We use honest company and we love all their stuff. We get the body wash at Costco for 14.99 and it comes with two huge bottles. One bottle has lasted almost 3 months
