Skin Care
Babies aren't born with perfect skin. On the contrary, hormonal and environmental changes can wreak havoc on an infant's sensitive skin. You can help your baby's skin look healthy by following a few simple tips.
1. You should not use baby powder or talcum powder on your baby's skin. The particles found in baby powder and talc have been found to irritate babies' lungs, in some cases seriously.
2. If your baby's skin irritation continues to worsen, contact your pediatrician. She may be suffering from eczema.
3. You can rub a small amount of baby oil on your infant's scalp if he has flaky skin.
4. If your baby suffers from diaper rash, be sure and use an ointment that contains zinc oxide to dry up this irritating skin condition.
5. If your baby's skin appears dry, you can use baby lotion to help moisturize her skin.
