Oh my, I have two really good tips. First (learn from my mistake!!)..... never fall asleep in a laid back recliner wearing a silk robe and holding a baby! It's kinda funny now but that happened to me 14 years ago. Luckily there was a big basket that had my dog's pound puppy and other stuffed animals in it sitting right next to/behind the recliner and when my couple months old daughter SLID out of my arms after I fell asleep, she landed safely in that pile of softness. Never even woke her up but it freaked me out! LOL
Second one..... For diaper rash, drool rashes and heat/cold weather rashes on the face, I have found that nothing is better than Aquafor. If you can't find it at the store, ask the pharmacist. They sometimes have it behind the counter. It looks like vaseline but works like magic! I bought a big tub of it when mine were babies and seriously, just cleaned that tub out not long ago. It works for chapped lips and other dry patches so we got much use out of it even after the baby stages. I actually had a friend tell me that her son had a diaper rash so severe that it was almost bleeding and that nothing was working on it and she was at her wits end. I told her to try Aquafor and she said it was gone after two days. Would have worked even faster if she would have used it sooner. Hope it will work for you too!
Congrats!! Can't wait to "meet her"!!
