Your little bundle of joy is in your arms now, and you’re just adjusting to the routine chores of a new mom. But what tops your list is to keep your baby well-fed and nurtured. Although your baby’s skin is soft and cuddly, it is bound to get dry now and then and hence requires extra care and nourishment.
Be it winter, fall or summer, most babies have delicate, tender skin that is prone to rashes and allergies and is more vulnerable to sudden temperature changes. Having sensitive, thin and fragile skin, babies often tend to develop allergies or get a dry patch on spending too much time in the tub, going outside in cold climate, being bundled up inside in the summers, or sometimes reacting to some chemicals or allergens present in creams and lotions or dyes or detergents used to wash the baby clothes.
Since your baby’s skin changes through the growing years, to guarantee they stay healthy, nourished and moisturized throughout the day, you must use mild skincare products that will not cause allergic reactions. And much to the relief of new parents, the markets are flooded with new and improved skincare products to choose from, to ensure optimal skin health for your precious little one.
