My daughter is a little over a week old and her poor skin is peeling like crazy! All over! This is just her hand. My oldest never had this. I’ve been putting non scented lotion on her, and I know it’s probably normal that his happens but is there anything else I can do?

This happened to my daughter and her pedi recommended coconut oil and it helped so much.

@bsandra, thank you! I’ll try it!

I was going to say coconut oil too. You can also put it in her bath.
Breast milk also helps soothe the skin if you pop some in her bath.

@memybumpandi, Her umbilical cord hasn’t fallen off yet so I haven’t been able to give her a bath just yet. :(

Yep my daughter was peeling for like the first month. Normal. Agree with everyone else on coconut oil.

I was three days late with my oldest and he was bright red and peeling right after birth, they joked he cooked too long.

Definitely normal. My little guy peeled like crazy too. I just used lots of lotion in him.

My daughter was peeling like that everywhere! She's 11 days old now and it's finally going away. I've been using some coconut oil even though the Dr said "it won't help anything". I literally thought this picture was my daughter when I was scrolling, same PJ's and all!

@ajowens1547, how funny! Yeah I’ve decided to just leave it alone, it’ll go away on its own!
