Hello
Infant skin routine should be regularly followed to prevent dryness of skin.Dry skin can causes itching and these children are prone to allergies and asthma in future.Coconut oil is considered as best for baby's skin. Baby should be bathed only once in a day(less than 10 minutes) and Moisturizer rich in ceramides should be applied to trap the moisture on the skin(I prefer Hydrilla moisturizer🧴,Apex Laboratories) in my clinical practice.Commercial Soaps available in the market are alkaline in nature and not recommended for baby skin.Synthetic detergents with low pH should be used for babies.I usually recommend SEBAMED Baby Soap 🧼 for my patients.
