Today we had a pediatrician appointment because we were concerned with some rashes that have appeared all over our little baby's body! It turns out to be a combination of milia and baby acne. Our PA, Jackie, thinks that Anne's skin is just really sensitive. She recommended a few products to use: corn starch in the folds of her neck, Vaseline on her face/chest/back, and Aquaphor bodywash/shampoo. She also told me to limit skin to skin contact with anyone other than Kris and I. She said that Anne's skin can break out from lipstick, chapstick, make up, perfume, scented body lotion, etc... The good news it that this is common and that it'll go away in a couple months. The bad side to it is that we have to be more mindful of what we put on our skin and clothes! The rash looks really icky. :( It's all over her face, chest, and back.
They also weighed and measured her today. She weighs 11 pounds 10 ounces! She measures 22 1/4 inches long! WOAH! This little one is growing FAST!
I also discovered a birth mark on her left knee! :) It looks a lot like the one I have on my neck, but hers is on the bottom side of her knee! :) I'll try to snap a picture of it sometime!

Try washing her clothes in All free (in the white bottle) and skipping all fabric softener (sheets or liquid), too. Our youngest still has hyper-sensitive skin, so we're used to doing everything for her without fragrance or coloring. It's tough at first, but it gets easier. You're doing a fabulous job with her!!
