Another use for the Boppy Pillow

The boppy is so versatile!  It can be a seat, helps position the baby for feeding, can help hold them up for sitting, can help sibling to hold hte baby in their laps, and can be used as a pillow too! 

(Poor Jacob with the excema spots on his face, he keeps picking them open.  Lorelie had newborn rash and Jacob looked at her and said, She has excema too!  But it's not excema, although the doctor tells me they actually look the same under a microscope, there is no corelation with the rash and developing excema later.
Pink pimples ('neonatal acne') are often caused by exposure in the womb to maternal hormones. No treatment is needed, just time. They can last for weeks or even months on a baby's skin.

Erythema toxicum is another common newborn rash that looks like mosquito bites or hives. Its cause is unknown, and it resolves without treatment after a few days or weeks)
