Every mother wants to keep her baby healthy and tries her best to keep her baby happy. Taking care of a little one’s skin is an important part of it. I am not an expert, but I a mother who always tries to do and give the best to my child, just like every mother on this planet. Hope the tips I am sharing with you will help all new mothers out there.

1. Give Your Baby an Oil Massage

Oil massages are good for babies. Try to give your baby a relaxing massage with a mild oil like coconut oil. You can also use any other oil which suits your baby’s skin type. You can choose coconut oil, olive oil, sesame oil, etc. Massage your baby’s hands, feet, and back very gently to make them feel relaxed. Always try to use natural oils.

2. Bathe Your Baby

When bathing your baby, use a mild and moisturising shampoo. Whenever you feel that you need to give bath to your baby, use a mild shampoo, soap, or body wash for your baby. Use shampoos, soaps, and body washes that do not contain any harsh chemicals.

3. Moisturise

Moisturising your baby’s skin is also very important. Use a good moisturiser to prevent your baby’s skin from drying. Keep in mind that you must invest in moisturisers and creams that contain no harsh chemicals.

4. Do Not Ignore Diaper Rashes

It is very important to prevent your child from getting diaper rashes. The things you can do avoid a diaper rash is cleaning the area and applying a diaper rash cream before putting the diaper on. Changing the diapers on regular intervals is also important. Don’t leave a single diaper for long hours because it can irritate your baby’s skin. Check your baby’s diaper frequently and clean the baby immediately if he has pooped. Give your baby some no diaper time as well.

So these were some tips that I hope will help you take care of your baby’s skin.
