Baby skin peeling

[BabyVeronica]

It seems like my little baby has a mild case of "cradle cap". Is this normal?

I usually wipe him down with a warm cotton ball dipped in warm water but have added a couple drops of baby oil to the bowl a couple times.

Thanks for your input!!

Your's is the teeny baby, right?

Get a little glass jar or even a coffee cup, and place a water saturated piece of sponge in it. Place the jar inside the little container you have the baby in, on the side with the heating pad. You have effectively made a humidifier for the enclosure. Keep the sponge wet and wash it out well with soap and water once a day.

You do have her in a plastic container of some kind, not a cardboard box I hope? If not, do get plastic - cardboard actually sucks water out of the surrounding air and anything in it.

Thank you- I will do the sponge thing. I have him in a little open top pet carrier - I will post a picture.
