We asked about cradle cap as his head's been super dry and scaly this week. We'll just continue with our baby oil and soft brush routine as that's been helping a ton. We also double checked about what we can do about gas. Monday all day and evening was really rough. He had a new kind of cry and when I did the bicycle legs, he produced copious amounts of farts. The gripe water didn't seem to help so we tried Mylicon (the Target brand) which helped almost immediately. Dr. Tripathy assured us that we could use it generously if need be. Although he seems to be back to his old self, thankfully! Keep up the growing buddy. Love those little rolls that are starting to form everywhere!
Oh and we're definitely getting some real smiles! They are so sweet. And don't you just love the faces babies make while sleeping. Here's a video for the grandmas (ie might be kinda boring for anyone else!)

Alex had bad cradle cap too. At his 2 month appointment our pedi suggested just using baby lotion, which I did and it miraculously went away. She said that it is just dry skin and if it doesn't go away with lotion then it is a fungal infection and needs something else...we never got that far.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the baby oil is working well for you.
We used to give Ethan a couple drops of Beano for gas. It helped a lot when he was little. My pharmacist aunt recommended it.

ReplyDeleteEmily, we swore by the simethicone drops, they are awesome!! We used them for about 6 months with almost every feed, especially the bedtime feed.
