Milk rash???

[ShootingStar]

Its just a hormone/milk rash hun. Most newborns get it. DS had it really bad. DD1 didnt get it and DD2 has had them only mild. DD2's cleared up within a few days, whereas DS's lasted a few weeks. Doesnt hurt or effect them at all. Only person they effect is us because we have to look at them Theyre something to do with hormones transferred to them during labour & birth. But just dont squeeze them or they could scar.. so dont worry to much, wont be long and he'll have his beautiful newborn skin back.

DD is only just getting rid of hers now...I foung using the Gaia Soothing Lotion really settled them down and almost took them away completetelty. I discovered this by accident as I wasn't too worried about it as I knew it would go away on it's own, but was putting the lotion on after bath time anyway. xo

Ahh. Thanks everyone!

They actually look a lot better today so I'm going to step away from the panic button... lol. Call me superficial but it was bothering me the way people stared at him and asked me what was up with his face. Poor DS! Not to mention the cast on his leg to correct his clubfoot. I hate the way it makes me feel when people stare at these things and ask questions................... as if they think I broke his bloody leg!
