Chapped lips and baby pimples?
My lil Drew is 3 weeks old today (I can hardly believe how fast time flies!)
Anyways, the other day I noticed that his upper lip was really chapped. It's almost a clearish color and hard. Is this from bottle feeding? Or is it something I should contact the pediatrican about? i've touched it and tried to soften it with a washcloth - he lets me, so I don't think it hurts him or anything.
Also - he woke up the other day with baby pimples. My poor little guy has had such bad luck with his skin so far. First the birth rash and now this. Is there a way to get rid of the baby pimples or is it something I have to let take its course?
Thanks in advance!
Don't know about the chapped lips. Every now and then Zach gets a kind of white hard layer on his lips, kind of like it will peel but it goes away too.

I used cetaphil for Hannah's baby acne. I used the cleanser and the lotion in sensitve 2x a day. Her acne cleared up in two or three days. I found something at Babies R US for chapped lips. It's by the same company that makes the diaper cream called butt paste. Before I found that I used just a tad of vaseline on her chapped lips.
I can't believe he is 3 weeks old. We need to see some new pictures!

As for the pimples, I never did anything for Nick's....he had just really small pinpoint sized ones and they didn't cover a lot of area so the doc told me just to allow air to the areas and it would run its course. Baby's skin is so sensitive. He'll grow up and have great skin since he is having issues now as an infant :-)
