ever since e was born, she had this beautiful skin. not a blemish or scratch in site. her coloring was so pretty. some one asked us if she had a tan :)
and then attack of baby acne hit poor ellery. those big cheeks were covered in bumps. her face looked red and agitated. and with that chilly wisconsin wind, soon her face was dry & chapped. anytime she drooled or her face got wet, it would get even worse. poor little girl. washing her face or using any lotions seemed to make it worse.
well thankfully, i live with not only 1, but 2 doctors. leah, who lives in the upper unit, is also a resident. more specifically, a pediatric resident. how awesome is that? so after a quick visit to dr. leah & dr. kyle, a call to our pediatrician, and talking to other moms, we bought some aquaphor. and it worked wonderfully! e's skin is still a tiny bit bumpy, but nothing compared to what it was like before. and though the acne & dryness never really bothered her, it still bothered me a lot because it just looked so painful. now that it's gone, i'm one happy mama - of one cutie pie, chubby cheek babe :)
