Newborn shedding skin - any tips?

We have our newborn photo's scheduled for tomorrow, and my little one has started shedding skin. It's all flaky and peely.

 I know this is normal, but I'm wondering if any of you ladies have a suggestion of what to put on it to mask the "snake skin" look for a few hours tomorrow.

 I tried putting some Aveeno baby dry skin creme on it, but it didn't seem to do much...

Re: Newborn shedding skin - any tips?

  • Hey Shannon!! My mom suggested putting about 1 tbsp of baby oil in her bath water and that'll moistureize her skin. Good Luck!

    Can't wait to see the pics of "princess Fiona"...lol

    G has this too. The Dr just suggested Aveeno baby lotion, which is what we'd been using.  I don't think there's too much you can do about it though.  We use it on him daily and I usually moisturize his hands (and cover with mitts due to his Freddy Kruger nails) and feet a few times a day as they are the worst. 

    Have fun with your pics - they are exhausting :)

  • Thanks ladies!

    I will try the baby oil bath and then lather her up with the Aveeno!

  • To help at photo time, just before you start, you might want to try putting a bit of vaseline on her skin, this will absorb much slower than any lotion, as well as the baby oil in the bath, we found that a little bit of baby oil on a cotton ball rubbed on RJ's skin worked miracles as well.  GL and cannot wait to see the photos.
