Baby’s skin is sensitive and delicate partly because the outer protective layer, called the ‘acid mantle’ is still adjusting to its new environment. You can support your baby’s skin by choosing nappy creams specifically formulated for their sensitive skin, made without harmful ingredients. Oils and Balms tend to warm up the skin, so it’s best to use a nappy rash cream if you’re wanting a cooling solution.

Baby Massage

After bath time, you can use a baby oil or baby balm to massage your baby’s skin. Baby massage is a great way to nurture parent and child bonding, and it can also be very supportive if your little one is experiencing abdominal discomfort, as a gentle massage can encourage healthy digestive processes.
