Keeping your baby's skin in great condition requires regular care and attention. Here are a few tips to help keep your bub's skin healthy and smooth:
-
Moisturise daily: Use a gentle, fragrance-free baby lotion or cream to keep skin hydrated and prevent dryness. Apply moisturiser immediately after a bath, while the skin is still damp, to lock in moisture.
-
Use gentle, fragrance-free products: Avoid using harsh soaps, shampoos, and detergents on your baby's skin, as these can dry out and irritate the skin. The Plush Pad is a great alternative to soaps in general or can be combined with your favourite soap for more effective cleaning.
-
Keep your baby clean: Regularly bathe your baby with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free baby soap. Avoid over-bathing, as this can dry out the skin.
-
Protect your baby's skin from the sun: Use a baby-safe sunscreen to protect bub's delicate skin from the sun's harmful rays.
-
Keep your baby's environment clean: Regularly clean and disinfect your baby's environment to help prevent skin infections.
-
Dress your baby in soft, breathable fabrics: Choose clothes made from natural fibres like cotton.
-
Avoid exposing your baby to harsh chemicals and irritants: Keep your baby away from things that may irritate their skin, like strong perfumes, smoke, and other pollutants.
-
Consult your paediatrician if you notice any changes in your baby's skin, or if you have any concerns about your baby's skin health.
Remember, every baby's skin is different, so it's important to pay attention to your child's individual needs and adjust your routine accordingly.
