Baby Skin care

Skin care When a baby is first born, their skin is ultra sensitive. It has been kept wet for so long that the exposure to the air can often cause peeling and drying. Most hospitals will even give you a small tube of lotion to take with you to apply to your baby’s skin to help it stay less dry. The places babies tend to peel most often are on the feet and the hands, especially on the heels and between the toes and fingers. If you do not keep lotion on baby’s skin, they can actually become so dry that they can crack and be painful for your baby.
This is why, when your baby is a newborn, it is best to not just use baby lotion, instead opting for a more protective type. As your baby begins to get older, her skin will adjust to the air around it and she will not be as dry. It is still a good idea at this point to apply lotion to your baby’s skin daily, but you can begin using baby lotion or other lotions. When putting lotion on your baby, if you want to really hold the moisture in, you should put it on immediately after a bath, possibly even while her skin is still damp. This can help hold the moisture in her skin and keep it more healthy and prevent drying a lot better.
