hey there,
since the breast feeding problem seems to have been answered already, thought i'd tell you about the dry skin problem. you can extract a little breast milk and dab it onto the skin of your little one. don't rub it in because he'll turn all red (the skin is very sensitive when they're so young!). i used breast milk on my daughter, who had the same problem (as many newborns do, like you said), and it worked like a charm! do it for as much as he needs it, but i can almost guarantee you he'll be much better after a couple of times! breast milk is great for a whole bunch of problems, such as, crusty or infected eyes, stuffy nose, dry skin, rashes etc. my mom even told me that you can put some in their bath water and it will make their skin soft. I don't have all that much to spare as it is, so i don't do that, but if you have an abundance, why not? better than throw it out!
let me know if it worked for you too!!
Befer.
