Babies' skin is so soft and sensitive, I can't think of any of our friends or family who had babies in the past 5 or so years that haven't experienced some degree of skin irritation. Probably caused by all the chemicals we use every day. Or global warming. One of the two.
Also, baby nails are super sharp.
My daughter has a scar on her nose from where she scratched herself as a baby and my son scratches until he bleeds all the time. One of our friends has had little mittens on her new born since the first night he exited the womb to keep him from clawing the crap out of himself.
