How To Care For Your Newborn's Skin

How should I care for my newborn's skin?

You don't have to do much. Again, your child's skin is acclimating over the first month. They just spent nine months in water and now they're acclimating to the air so you don't have to do anything, but if you'd like to for those scaly areas of dry skin you can use some baby moisturiser creams. For the most part, these are safe. Again, avoid all the extras and if you're worried about allergic reactions, maybe put a little bit on their foot first, just to see if their skin is really sensitive. However, most of these baby moisturiser creams are safe on the face and over the entire body.
