Yes. We've noticed that DS has dry skin also. We put the Johnson and Johnson baby lotion on him during the day (in the pink bottle) and then after a bath we put the Lavender scented one on him to help him sleep at night.

DD's skin was flaky for 3 weeks, and then got eczema! we used lots of vaseline and cetaphil.

Re: new borns and dry skin
Its very normal to have dry skin, flakey for newborns. They're shedding their skin!
The best lotion to use for DD was the J&J pink bottle. Don't over do it though!

ITA - but my ped said not to worry about it and not to moisturize. Call your ped.
FYI- my ped also said not to use J&J - too much perfumes. We use eucarin.

Re: new borns and dry skin
it's very normal and expected for them to have dry skin. Continue to mosturize and it will go away soon.
