1. Keep your baby s skin moisturized
As parents, you can always immediately notice if your baby s skin is susceptible to dryness. Here s a useful bath time tip: use a small amount of cream or some ointments to help prevent dryness and moisturize your baby s skin after every bath.
Do the same before and after going outside and apply it to the skin s most exposed areas.
2. Don t bathe your baby too often Frequent bathing of a baby can lead to a weakened skin barrier and increased dryness, says Dr. Jennifer Leavitt, a worker at St. Paul s Maternity Clinic in Vancouver. She even says less is more when it comes to bathing your baby.
