Dry skin can be uncomfortable for your baby and can become fussier. A baby’s skin is thinner and more sensitive than yours and produces fewer natural oils. So, it is natural that the skin can get dry easily.
The symptoms of dry skin include the following:
Flaky and rough patches on skin
Red and Itchy areas
Presence of dry cracks
Frequent bleeding & infection
As bath time can appear fun, try to keep it short as longer duration can lead to dry skin. You can also limit the frequency of bath unless your baby needs a little extra scrub. Use lukewarm water while bathing as it is less drying and cannot burn your baby.
While choosing a cleansing product, you can choose a gentle and fragrance-free product instead of a regular soap. An organic body wash with Aloe Vera extracts is always helpful.
After the bath, just pat dry the baby’s skin instead of rubbing the delicate skin with the towel.
Apply a layer of cream or petroleum jelly on your child’s skin during the chilly weather to prevent any dryness. Use of either a baby face cream or body lotion for babies after every bath is advisable to maintain the moisture levels of baby's skin.
Use a gentle detergent for the baby’s laundry. Follow these tips to prevent your baby’s skin from getting dry and irritated.
