POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. Dry skin in a 7-month-old baby is common, especially in colder weather or if the skin is sensitive. Here are some gentle remedies to keep your baby's skin soft and hydrated:
1. Use a Mild Baby Moisturizer
✔ Apply a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic baby lotion or coconut oil after bath.
✔ Look for ingredients like shea butter, glycerin, or ceramides.
2. Avoid Hot Water Baths
✔ Use lukewarm water instead of hot water.
✔ Limit baths to 5-10 minutes to prevent further drying.
3. Use a Gentle Baby Wash
✔ Choose a soap-free, pH-balanced baby cleanser.
✔ Avoid harsh soaps or bubble baths.
4. Keep the Room Humidified
✔ If the air is dry, use a humidifier in the baby’s room.
✔ Avoid direct fan or AC air exposure.
5. Dress in Soft Cotton Clothes
✔ Avoid wool or synthetic fabrics directly on the skin.
✔ Wash baby clothes with mild, fragrance-free detergent.
6. Ensure Proper Hydration & Diet
✔ If your baby is on solids, offer water, fruits, and healthy fats (like avocado).
✔ Breastfeeding/formula feeding helps keep the skin hydrated.
When to See a Doctor?
⚠ Red, itchy patches (could be eczema).
⚠ Cracked or bleeding skin.
⚠ Persistent dryness despite moisturizing.
