Infant skin would be a delicate organ and is more susceptible to environmental and manmade insults, much more than the adults do. Many mothers worry unnecessarily about keeping the babies skin exceptionally clean, but, over indulgence in such thoughts and actions might lead to effects that in turn could actually harm the babies’ skin.

Keeping your babies’ skin nice and healthy would be a combination effect of many factors. It may be influenced by the surrounding air, substances we apply on the babies’ skin, foods and fluids given to the baby, genes, bathing practices…etc. Many of these factors would be under our control and can be modified in order to avoid insults to the babies’ skin. Knowing these factors and the methods to modify and use them accordingly would make you care better for your babies’ skin.

Let us see, some of these measures leading to better care.

* Avoid the applications of regular soaps and bathing shampoo to the babies’ skin and make use of a mild soap which does not scrub away the protective layers on the skin.

* Use mildly warm water for the baths and always avoid hot or cold water.

* Give the bath in the late morning or after play activity before a feed.

* Reduce the bath time to 10 minutes as more time the baby spend on soapy water, more drier the skin will become.

* Make sure the skin folds and the areas under the neck are cleaned properly as these places are more likely to become dirty.

* Keep the surrounding environment warm at the time of the bath.

* Dry the skin with a soft cloth and do not rub hard in order to dry but rather pat dry the skin.

* Apply a moisturizing lotion into the babies’ skin to retain the existing moisture from dissemination.

* Dress the baby in soft and light clothing depending on the environment.

* Make the baby to drink plenty of fluids as it would help in the moisturizing process of the skin.

* Prevent the skin from directly being exposed to sun light and wearing caps and other protective gear would be indicated when taking the baby to such places. It would be a good idea to limit the exposure to sun rays during the times from 10 am to 2 pm as it would be the most intense period of UV rays.

* Add plenty of vegetables to the babies’ diet if weaning had started, and depending on the requirement, follow your pediatricians advise for nutritional supplements.

Love the fresh smell of soft baby skin.  Makes you want to eat them up they are so delicious!   However, in the first few weeks babies are born they retain some of the mothers hormones which can cause minor skin conditions.  So caring for that soft sensitive skin is so important.  Baby skin is much thinner and less oily than adults.  This make them a little more prone to skin irritation in the first few months of life.

What should we do to prevent skin irritations?  The first problem many mothers experience is heat rash.  This is a skin condition which covers areas of baby with tiny little heat bumps.  This rash condition can be prevented by not over dressing the baby.  When baby is over dressed the baby sweats causing this rash condition.  Baby powder sprinkled in areas will help absorb moisture and help keep baby skin looking pure and silky.  

Baby shampoo is gentle without  lot of chemicals and this will help with cradle cap and not cause any type of skin irruptions.  When purchasing any type of baby product check the ingredients.  Make sure they are pH balanced with healing herbs such as Soy Calendula Oil and other friendly healing herbs.  Do not purchase harsh and products with a lot of fragrances that baby can be allergic to.

Products containing Avocado oil which are easily absorbed into skin with a good source of vitamin A, D and E are highly recommended. Natural and soothing is what baby skin needs.

Baby lotions with the powerful Vitamin E helps and protects against UV-induced inflammation of the skin.  This vitamin is a derivative from soy.  Check all the labels of skin and hair care products for baby to be sure they are natural and mild.  Baby skin is much more sensitive than adult skin.  Take precaution when taking baby outside.

Use hats to protect the baby’s face and use sunblock especially for infants and toddlers.  Do not use adult sun block.  Watch soaps, lotions, sun screens to be sure they are made only for baby.  A little reading will help prevent skin irritations.  Eliminate purchasing products that contain synthetic fragrances, artificial colors which can be highly irritating to baby.  

Try and let mother nature do her job and use mild products for baby skin care.  Botanical extracts and essential vitamins such as A, C & E are safe but only use in small amounts when caring for baby’s skin.  Baby products containing natural and herbal extracts maybe a little more expensive, but they are safer and healthy for baby.
