DS has had dry skin since birth - mainly on his feet and hands and then around his neck a little. A Dr and the maternal nurse have recommended sorbolene creme and/or aqueous cream. Today we used the aqueous and it seems to have gotten worse (lots of flaky skin on tummy). I dont know if it is a reaction to the aqueous or not (i tend to think it may be, i dont like these petroleum based products so i am thinking of not using the sorb or aqueous). I called the healthline here and he doesnt have any other symptoms that would lead them to think it is anything else.
Have any of you had this with your bubs? anything more natural or any products that helped? He is 8 days old.. any advice appreciated..
