Bath time is bonding time — but newborn skin loses moisture fast. Keep water lukewarm, keep baths under ten minutes, and reach for a soap-free wash with a neutral pH.
After the bath, pat (never rub) the skin dry and lock in moisture within three minutes with a simple oat-based cream. Fewer ingredients, fewer surprises: skip added fragrance for the first six months.
If dry patches or cradle-cap scales appear, a light bath oil massaged in before the wash softens them gently. And when in doubt, ask your pharmacist — that is what we are here for.
