Dry skin in a newborn?
My DD is ten days old, and when I was changing her this morning, I notices that the skin on her belly and legs was very dry. We gave her a bath with Johnson & Johnson wash last night - did that do it? Is there a moisturizer I can/should use on her? Or do I just let it heal on it's own?

Re: Dry skin in a newborn?
DS had and still has dry skin at 13 months old. We found that not bathing him everyday helped. We also use/used Aquaphor on him. Some dry/peeling skin is normal in a newborn...Also Aveeno is good...It should go away soon...

At 10 days old, she is probably shedding her "in utero" skin. It should stop pretty soon.

Both boys were shedding like crazy when they were first born. I was told not to put anything on them. I did put aquaphor on the spots that looked painful like their ankles and between toes and fingers.
