1. Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser: Bathe your baby with lukewarm water (not hot) and use a mild baby soap like Cetaphil Baby Wash, Sebamed Baby Cleansing Bar, or Aveeno Baby Wash. 2. Moisturize immediately after bath: Within 3 minutes of bathing, apply a rich moisturizer like: Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture Lotion Sebamed Baby Lotion CeraVe Baby Moisturizing Cream Coconut oil (natural and soothing) 3. Apply moisturizers 2–3 times daily, especially on very dry areas. 4. Use a humidifier in the room during dry or winter months to maintain moisture in the air. 5. Dress your baby in soft, breathable cotton clothes—avoid wool or synthetic materials that can irritate the skin. 6. Avoid long baths, and don’t let the skin stay wet too long—pat dry gently instead of rubbing.
If dryness continues or there are signs of redness, cracking, or itching, consult a pediatrician to rule out eczema or other skin conditions.
