Babies have delicate skin that requires extra care to protect from dryness, irritation, and other types of damage. Here are a few tips for protecting your baby's skin:
-
Keep your baby's skin moisturised: Use a gentle, fragrance-free baby lotion or cream to keep your baby's skin hydrated and prevent dryness.
-
Avoid harsh soaps and detergents: Use mild, fragrance-free baby soaps and shampoos to avoid drying out your baby's skin. Use our Plush Pads as a great alternative to soap or to cleanse more effectively.
-
Dress your baby in soft, breathable fabrics: Choose clothes made from natural fibres like cotton.
-
Protect your baby's skin from the sun: Use a baby-safe sunscreen to protect your baby's delicate skin from the sun's harmful rays.
-
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.
-
Keep your baby's environment clean: Regularly clean and disinfect your baby's environment to help prevent skin infections.
-
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.
It's important to note that every baby's skin is different, so some products may work better for some babies than others. It's a good idea to patch test a small area before using any new product on your baby's skin.
