She is peeing and pooping well. I stimulat her every time i gmet done with a feeding so she can poop and urinate ok. My question is she started getting dry skin because wipe her off with a warm damp baby wash cloth to remove urine, poop, or any milk that has dripped on her to clean her. Now she has a bit of dry skin and i just would like to no how to moisturize her skin with out putting anything on her that could be toxic or harm her. I have read somewhere that you can put baby oil on them or baby lotion but im not really sure if you should or can with out it making them sick. Just want to do the right thing for her. Anything will help thanks!
