Three Tips for Caring for Baby’s Skin
(i) Give your baby a bath every day and keep baby’s skin clean at all times. Clean baby’s gently with mild baby soap.
(ii) Moisturize baby’s skin after baths. Baby’s skin becomes dry after bathing. Use baby lotion or oil to keep skin moisturized.
(iii) Baby’s skin is susceptible to environmental factors. Adjust room temperature and humidity to protect your baby’s skin.
All about washing your baby
(i) Head
The so-called soft spot on your baby’s head will be much smaller when he is about 18 months old, after his skull has come together. Until then, don’t push on it – just wash his head by gently stroking it. Lather the baby shampoo well and make sure to clean your baby’s head every day.
(ii) Face
Wash your baby’s face well with baby soap when you give him a bath, making sure to clean his cheeks, which can be come dirty with drool and milk, and his forehead, where there are many secretions from his skin. Be sure to wipe the soap from his face with warm, damp cloth.
(iii) Body
With all his body fat, your baby has lots of crevices and wrinkles. Sweat and dirt can become trapped in these areas, can even cause your baby to smell bad. Whenever giving him a bath, make sure to use your fingers to spread open these areas and wash them well.
(iv) Bottom
Your baby’s bottom is subject to urine and stool all day long in his diapers. This is particularly tru in the deep wrinkles around his crotch, which is the dirtiest part of his body - so be sure to wash this area at least once a day.
