If you haven’t ever cared for a newborn before, your baby’s skin care can be intimidating. Your baby’s skin care is just one of the many things that is going to concern you as you work to learn about all of the things you need to do to keep your infant healthy and safe. Baby skin care is often little more than common sense which should be good news. You don’t need a bunch of overpriced products to keep your infant’s skin clean and clear. In fact, you don’t need many products at all! This article contains the information you need to put together a reliable baby skin care routine.
It should be your priority to protect your baby against the many skin conditions that can occur without proper care. You need to learn how not to panic when you see a wayward bump or rash start to develop. What you do need to do is learn how to identify these “breakouts” and take the appropriate action so they no leave marks or turn into something more serious. You can give your baby beautiful, luminous skin just by diligently treating any condition that you see and you will notice that as your baby grows into a toddler and then into an adolescent, and older, that your efforts paid off.
Always make sure the baby’s bath water is not too hot before you put the baby into it. A baby’s skin can be easily burned by water that is too warm. In fact, it isn’t until our later years that we even begin to enjoy hot baths or long hot showers. Put your elbow into the water to see if the bath is too hot for your baby. If the sensitive skin of your elbow finds the water too hot or too cold, adjust the temperature of the water. Your baby’s bath water should never be hotter than lukewarm.
This will ensure that you don’t accidentally burn your baby or put him in water that is too cold.
Newborn infants need products that are specifically created for them. Just because a product is safe for babies over six months (or toddlers) does not mean that is necessarily safe for a newborn. Your new baby’s skin will take time to learn how to deal with environmental factors that exist outside of your womb. It takes time for your baby’s skin to lose its sensitivity and develop the “thickness” that older babies and toddlers have. Before you buy new products make sure that what you want to buy is newborn-friendly.
There are plenty of methods for practicing proper baby skin care. Caring for your baby’s skin is more complicated than giving him a bath a few times a week. Finding the right laundry detergent, using sunscreen and even letting your baby roll around naked are all important skin care decisions. Don’t worry-it won’t take long for you to get used to caring for and protecting your baby’s skin. Before too long it will feel like second nature to you!

Willow Tree Our Gift, New Parents Figurine, Susan Lordi 26181Willow Tree Our Gift, New Parents Figurine by Susan Lordi. 8.5" high. Resin. Gift boxed. Man and woman figurine holding an infant. "Our bright, joyful gift"
Since 2000, Susan Lordi has been creating these figurative sculptures that speak in quiet ways of deep emotion and inspiration. Artist Susan Lordi carves each original sculpture, then pieces are cast from her original carving in resin and individually painted by hand. Expression is conveyed by gestures only - a tilt of the head, a turn of the body, or placement of the hands. The simplicity of form and the absence of facial features signify Willow Tree. Emotions are left to the viewer to interpret, which makes them powerful and personal. It is Susan Lordi's hope that these pieces be meaningful to both the giver and the receiver.
