Dry skin on newborn?
Newborn is 8 days old. Been having alot of skin shedding like that past few days. Is it normal? Shall i do anything to make it better or leave it?

Yes normal for newborn! Babies who do not have much vernix at birth tend to have more skin shedding aft birth but don't worry abt it! I put baby-friendly moisturiser. PD says can also just leave it, it'll go away aft a few wks. Just don't bathe baby for too long as water can dry out baby's skin easily.
