Hi all,
I have few questions..anybody please reply...
Can I feed the baby in a travelling car? (Bottle feeding)
My baby has dry skin on her face especially around her mouth..what can I do about that?
Because of spit up milk get stucked on my daughter's neck and she is getting rashes on her neck folds..what do I do for that..she never allow me to wipe there...because it hurts her....sometimes when I try to clean there it even bleeds..
I can see a lot of wax/dirt on my baby's ears..how do I clean that?
My baby's bottom/diapering area became so dark and faded compared to her other parts since she is very fair and these area looks dark..what can I do for that?

hoping to hear from you,

Thanks, PK

-I don't think it is advisable to feed Smriti in the car if you are in the US since it is not allowed.
-Tia too had rashes(she still has tho' not much),she was advised Aveeno baby cream.It works great.
-To clean the neck what I generally do is I sit cross legged w/Tia on my knee so that her neck is hanging over ..she has some funny toys hanging for her to see(which she gladly cranes her neck to see)& then I get a full view of her neck & then I use a soft damp handtowel to press & lift clean it...tho' like Vani I am unsure about that bleeding thing..better talk to your Ped about it..
-Do not attempt to remove wax from the ears..we can push the wax into the ear canal..+ the wax actually helps prevent dirt etc from entering the ear canal..what you can do is dip a Q tip/bud into warm J&J oil & just clean the pinna(outer ear)front & back...just the parts you can see..if you are really concerened about the wax build up,talk to your ped..you may be recommended a wax softener which helps the wax \";melt\"; & come out & then you clean the ear (the outside again)..
-I'm not sure about the diaper area wala quest.Vani is right tho' even Tia has dark bums..tho' they are atypical of asian kids..called mongolian spots..
hope it helps..

I may not know answers for everything but hope these help.

I hae fed Rishi while traelling in car in these Indian roads itself, that too BF. So I guess there should be no problem with bottle feed.

Each time after feed,you have to wipe off baby's mouth and the surrounding areas. Apply coconut oil and then bathe her. You can also apply J&J lotion.

I was shocked to hear about bleeding. Please take your doc's advice for this. Poor baby, consult doctor soon and cure this.

Has your baby's bottom been dark always, or suddenly become dark? Rishi's bottom has always been dark from birth. If so, you need not worry. If it has suddenly become dark, may be you can ask the doc.

Take care of Smriti. Lots of kisses to her. Post photos when you find time.

Love
Vani
