I really wouldn't worry about it - Natalie has had dry skin on and off since she arrived. We have been using almond oil on the dry patches (although not on her face), but it generally has resolved itself. I would trust your MW - as long as it's not bothering Jackson, it should go away in time.
We also had an acne breakout once her dry skin had finally cleared up, and are now back to dry skin!
I wouldnt worry about it, all/most newborns get dry skin, Caden had it right up until 2 months old, he was very peely cos he was so over due.
I think its just their skin ajusting to the outside world :)
Laurie, Bethany has the same dry skin around her eyes. She had dry skin everywhere for most of the first two weeks, but it has cleared up over the last few days. All but around her eyes, that is. Like Jackson it doesn't seem to bother her. My mw hasn't commented on it so I guess it's not really a problem? Glad to hear she's not the only one! Occasionally I carefully put a tiny bit of almond oil around her eyes. Apparently it won't get rid of the dryness but it will make sure the skin doesn't crack?
