moms whose baby's chins have chins (looking at Noisy)
how the hell do you keep the rolls clean and dry? I do a pretty good job using qtips during bath time and then an occasional wipe down with a wipe or wash cloth at diaper changes, but there's one roll high up on his neck that is downright disgusting most of the time. It's hard to tell in this picture but Jack is a very chunky baby and I'm having a hard time GETTING to the skin inside the rolls, let alone keeping them clean.
Re: moms whose baby's chins have chins (looking at Noisy)
oh Kristen, I'm cyber kicking you. I was trying NOT to involve my BFF cheese but now you've gone there and my monterey jack with basil on crackers is now grossing me out.
I found it smelled more like blue cheese than monterey jack.
there's no permanent cure for neck sludge, it stays until the drop a chin or so.
Yeah, it's hard to keep the neck clean. I don't have any really good tips other than the diaper one Kristen suggested. When I'm cleaning Evie's neck out it's a little easier to get the baby jowels up and out of the way if her butt is higher than her head, so when I tilt her head back they just sort of fall toward her cheeks.
My mom told me that one of her cousin's kids didn't do a good job of cleaning her baby's neck and then the baby got some sort of horrible gross *** infection. So yeah. Keep that shiit clean.
I've never tried the tilt back, but they're also easier to clean if he's sitting up, so I would lean him on my forearm and clean with the other hand.
Watch out for the arm rolls as well. I was pretty diligent about the neck rolls, but didn't even think about all of the milk he was letting roll down his arms while trying to figure out BFing. It was yucko.
This didn't happen with Will. And it certainly didn't happen again with Evie, when you'd think a second time parent would know better. Nope.

If you are keeping notes, said deathgrip is even grippier when they get a fist full of your hair.
Based on my husband's reaction, it's more grippier with chest hair.
or your poor sore nipple. Jack's come close to a baby facepunch a coupla times. (not really lurkers, please don't report me to CPS.)
Wait until he grows some teeth.
Especially the short ones right at the base of the neck. Yeowch!
The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.
