No skin can be delicate as baby’s’. They have the softest, smoothest and most vulnerable skin all throughout human skin. We as parents need to take care of their skin and put more attention on caring on them.
Because of their delicate skin, most babies, or I would rather say all babies are prone to allergy and itching. Diaper rash is a common discomfort and allergy among babies. The butts, thigh and the genitals are the most affected areas. To care for diaper rash, always check if the diaper is already full. Usually a diaper is good only for 4 hours. When changing diaper, lavish baby’s skin with baby powder to keep it cool and fresh. During day time, alternate your baby’s diaper. You can wear him cotton or fabric diaper to keep his skin fresh. Babies can pee anytime, you have to check every now and then if the diaper is wet or not.
When taking a bath, use only the mildest soap to his delicate skin. I have one soap that really works well on baby’s skin, Oilatum. After the bath, you can make a gentle massage using baby oil on all his body and face. This not only takes away cold but also relaxes baby’s muscle. After giving a gentle massage, lavish his body with baby powder to keep him smell fresh and feel fresh too.
When taking care body allergies among babies, (rashes not related to diaper rash) always bear in mind that allergies are itchy in nature. What relieves itchiness that cannot harm baby’s skin is alcohol. It is alright to pt some alcohol on baby’s itchiness cause by allergy, only that does not rub it not with your hand or with cotton. Just pour a little and then let it dry. In every circumstance, it is best to call your pediatrician right away.
