Baby Skin & Body CareA blog on baby care

I just bought the new soap opera weekly today. And it is saying that lily decides to keep her baby after all. She even goes to Neil and she tells him that she is pregnant. Neil’s tells lily to keep her baby and that he will be there to help her every step of the way. I was so surprised when i read that. I was expecting Neil to bite her head off. And – i also thought he would yell at her because she was careless. And she has so much on her plate now. I was totally blown away by this.

my mom told me to wash it with baby shampoo, but what else am i suppose to do?

My little one (3 weeks) has developed bumps all over her forehead. Some look like little whiteheads and they are very red. They developed quickly and have changed a lot over 24-48 hours, making me think it is a rash rather than acne. Could it be hives or something? MIL put a small amount of J&J baby lotion on her face 5 days ago. Could that have caused it?http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n249/…http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n249/…
I know not to scrub or pick at it. I wash her face with just a wet washcloth. What do you all think?

I normally get them between my brows, but now I’m getting a few on my cheeks and forehead! What can I do to stop them? I am currently using the Neutrogena Acne Stress Free Powerfoam wash, Mary Kay III Toner, Johnson’s Baby Lotion for moisturizer and Proactiv Refining Mask to dry up pimples (it doesn’t work much on me but at least it speeds up the healing process).

My husband didn’t check pockets when doing laundry, and a tiny canister of Vicks Baby Rub (like Mentholatum) went through the washer and dryer. Two pairs of his pants now have blotches all over them. I’ve soaked the pants in OxyClean – no good. A friend suggested he put dish soap on them, but he just put it on there then immediately washed the pants again – should he have let it sit a while? Or does anyone know of anything else that would take this out? Thanks!

My stomach stretched out, has anyone had any success with a lotion product to firm the skin?

If a brush hasn’t been used before, do you think it would be enough to add a few drops of baby shampoo in a bowl of water and then just gently swish the brush in that solution for about 15 seconds? I also lightly brushed the the bristles on the bottom of the bowl a few times to ‘agitate’ it a little more in the solution. Was that thorough enough if the brushes are new?
Thanks for your help

“Guess What’s In The Bag” Game
(Materials: Paper Bags of different sizes to fit different size items, items listed below, pen)
- You will need 10 paper bags. For fun, use colored ones. On the front of the first bag put a letter “B”, the second “A”, third “B”, fourth “Y”, and so on spelling out “B A B Y S H O W E R”. Inside each bag is an item for the baby beginning with the letter on the outside of the bag. Guests cannot pick up the bags. Display them on a table so they can see how big the bags are. Whoever guesses the most correctly wins.
Note: The items have to fit in a SMALL PAPER LUNCH BAG
B – Bottle, brush, booties, burp cloth
***A – Aspirator, apple sauce
B – Bib
***Y – Yellow Rubber Ducky (you may have to give a clue for this one)
S – Spoon, soap, shampoo
H – Hat, hanger (baby size), headband
O – Onesie, oil, oragel
W – Wipes, wash cloth
***E – Ear suringe, ear ache medicine
R – Rattle, receiving blanket, rash medicine
thank you

I’m 16 and I have really dry flaky skin on some areas of my body. I use baby lotion everyday but it doesn’t seem to make it any better. I’ve been trying to drink more water as well, like 3 glasses a day. Is there anything else i can do to make it better or will it eventually get better as i get older?
