Redness in Neck Fold

I've noticed that my three month old has some redness in one of her neck folds. She doesn't have very many folds as she's an average size baby, but she does occasionally get breast milk dripping down her chin and pooling there. It doesn't look dry or like a rash, just red. I'm not sure if it's the milk that is irritating her skin or if it's just chaffing because of the fold. Has anyone else experienced this and is there anything I should be putting on it...lotion, baby powder, etc?

Super Dry Skin During Pregnancy - Cocoa Butter? Coconut Oil? Anything Richer?

HI Moms: I'm 6 months pregnant with baby #2, and although cocoa butter seemed to make my belly happy for pregnancy #1, it doesn't seem to be doing the job anymore. My skin is literally peeling off and getting scaly in patches! Happily, no stretch marks on the belly, but is this the precursor? I've heard that coconut oil is supposed to be even better from my friends who are devotees of Whole Foods, but would love any advice on how not to become a molting snake!
