Baby's Skin :Essential Tips to Care about it for New Parents

The skin of a baby is very tender and soft; it needs special modes of care so that it can remain healthy and safe. Be it changing the diapers or giving them a gentle bath, the steps one can take to keep your baby's skin safe from dryness and irritation are rather basic and simple.

If you bathe your baby's skin, stick to warm water and use an unscented mild baby soap. Bathe your baby once or twice, but no more often than three times a week as sensitive skin can become dry. If your skin becomes sensitive in the bath, pat your skin with a warm towel-paying special attention to skin folds where moisture can form an irritating rash.

A moisturizer is very necessary because a baby's skin gets dried out pretty easily. Apply a little baby-friendly fragrance-free lotion or cream after a bath to seal in the skin moisture and protect it from dryness during colder or drier climates.

The diaper area is so sensitive, and it always has to bear with a rash due to the friction and constant wetness. To avoid these diaper rashes, changes should be frequent, and cleaning with water or hypoallergic wipes should be affected. After that, let the skin air dry and then put on a fresh new diaper. Apply a thin layer of diaper cream which contains zinc oxide as an active ingredient for protection.

Thus, exposure to direct sun cannot be recommended, in particular, to infants below six months old due to the susceptibility of a baby's skin to sunlight. Dress your baby in light, with long-sleeved clothes if he will be outside, with an expansive-brimmed hat to cover more. Sunscreen suitable for babies with SPF 30 or higher may be applied on exposed skin for babies over six months; however, seeking shade is best.

Avoid using such products with strong chemicals, artificial fragrances, or colors. Only gentle products designed for babies should be used, as these are tailored specifically for their very delicate and sensitive skin.

These gentle practices will keep your baby's skin soft, healthy, and well-protected.
