One day, mommy decided to try letting me sleep in the bassinet in the closet. She set me down on my tummy (because I love sleeping on my tummy) and closed the door. For whatever reason, I wasn’t super happy. So I cried. After crying for a few minutes, mommy came to get me. And when she turned me over onto my back, she noticed that my face was noticeably red. She thought maybe it was a heat rash, but my skin just got more and more red and bumpy. Then it started oozing a little bit of clear liquid. Mommy did some quick research and concluded that I must have developed eczema. We quickly ran to the store and picked some of this up:
She applied that and coconut oil on my skin several times a day, and my skin gradually returned to normal after about a week. Mommy said when it was at its worst, my skin looked “angry.”
My bassinet doesn’t have a soft, breathable mattress like my crib, just a hard, waterproof mat. So she figured that since I was rubbing my cheek in my tears and drool and sweat, it must have irritated my skin. She bought a new mat and some cotton sheets, and it doesn’t irritate my skin as much. It still gets a little red if I’ve been sleeping in the bassinet for a while, but it goes back to normal after a few hours.
