6 months baby cheeks has got dry
My 6 months baby cheeks has become dry. I applied Himalaya moisturiser but with 5 minutes again it would become dry. So I applied moisturiser 5-6 times yesterday night to make sure his skin become soft. Is that ok to apply more moisturiser and applying frequently?

Avoid using J and J baby soap if that's the one that you are using. Cetaphil soap and cetaphil moisturising lotion is more effective in keeping sensitive baby skin soft and supple.

Definitely u should use mild soaps for baby. There many baby lotions & moisturiser available in the market but for the dry cheeks , practically speaking I have found very good results in my patients with simple Borolene cream easily available in the market. Just apply at night on the cheeks ( very minimal quantity required) & u will find amazing results
