Newborn dry flaky skin

[bizzygirl101]

Hi

Does anyone know the best product for this? I havnt been using anyting but water and cotton wool and havnt been bathing him everyday and have been using non-bio, so i think its a normal thing for him.

Dont want to use something that will upset his skin, but he has it in most of his creases

Thanks

I was advised to use Olive Oil on their skin. Apparently go for the best organic one you can get.

Olive oil from the pharmacy (got mine in Boots). Just put it on cotton wool and rub on to the skin.

Jack had this as well. MW told me it was just where babies are so long in the amniotic fluid. She said to use Olive oil. I was actually using Infoderm at the time and just continued with it. It cleared up pretty quick.
