A. There is no need to do anything. Babies keep changing their skin colour for the first year of their life. Always use a mild soap with low pH value to bathe your baby. The soap should be hypoallergenic and should be made of natural ingredients. Immediately after bathing, while the skin is still moist, use a mild moisturiser on your baby's skin atleast twice a day. Massage your baby with coconut oil or almond oil and give a milk bath once in a week. Keep your baby well hydrated and always feed your baby on demand. Check Babyhug Milk Protein Formula Daily Rich Moisturising Milky Soap : It has power of naturals. It is dermatologically tested and paediatrician approved. Milk protein makes baby's skin healthy and glowing, wheat germ oil is rich in Vitamin E and is loaded with healthy anti oxidants. Glycerin in it moisturises baby's skin.
