Dry skin

Does anyone else’s baby get dry skin when under weather? She’s got patches appear on her upper eyelids randomly. She has constant dribble rash/dryness at the moment but this seems a bit different.

When my LO was ill and reduced her water / food intake she had dry skin. I think she was becoming dehydrated and it was showing. Similar might be happening with yours

@Seyi thanks for your reply. I don’t this she’s dehydrated as breastfeeding a lot and lots of wet nappies! Did you do anything to treat it other than hydrate her?

I moisturised her face with vaseline rather than coconut oil, which I usually use, because it's a bit thicker. I know some mums who swear by mustela for dry skin

Epiderm sold at boots. Amazing.

Yeah mine had this awful cough and I went to the doctors and she said he also had eczema on his back and if they’re poorly it can bring out skin conditions like that!
