Your discoveries are bringing back a lot of pregnancy memories that I'd really kind of tucked away and forgotten.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and the moulting happens when the baby gets this stuff called cradle cap. It's like a sloughing off of the scalp. I remember picking and combing at my kids' little heads peeling the stuff off in bits while I nursed them.<BR/><BR/>Okay - that was gross, wasn't it? Sorry.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to the next post!<BR/><BR/>P.S. I just remembered I have pix of my babies before the vernix was wiped off them completely.

His nephew must not have been wiped off very well at birth. Or maybe he was over cleansed and his delicate new baby skin dried out too much and did peel. It is good to leave some of it on their skin though, since it is protective. I was told to wait at least 2 weeks to wash Benji because that would cut down on his chances of having eczema and other irritable skin issues. I have absolutely no recollection of him peeling or moulting even though he did remind me a bit of a dragon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-11006765080577488102009-03-20T15:53:00.000-04:002009-03-20T15:53:00.000-04:00Amisare - Dry skin I can deal with.
