Sensitive from the start

A newborn baby may seem really fragile and, in fact, their skin is 30% thinner than that of an adult. It is this, and the fact that newborn skin takes a while to get accustomed to the outside world, that makes it more susceptible to dehydration and irritation. With frequent nappy changes and daily baths it’s vital to take extra care of baby’s skin. Of course all babies are different, while some never seem to encounter any problems, others seem to get lots of rashes and even sometimes eczema. The key in all cases is to use the mildest cleansing products you can find, so you don’t upset the skin’s natural barrier. Fragrance-free and hypoallergenic products will reduce the risk of reactions and the development of future allergies. Last, but by no means least, using massaging oils, creams and lotions into your baby’s skin after bathing or at any stage in your baby’s routine will help re-establish the skin’s barrier and strengthen the bond between you both.
