How to Care for Babies With Sensitive Skin

Babies are come into the world with wonderfully smooth, soft skin. But some babies' skin is more sensitive than others. If your baby has sensitive skin, you'll need to take special care of it.                                                                                

1. 1

• Use all-natural diapers or diapers indicated for sensitive skin (hypo-allergenic).
• Do not use wipes. They can make sensitive skin very red, and uncomfortable for your baby. Use cotton balls and a bowl of water to clean your baby's diaper area instead. Remember to change the bowl of water frequently.
• Use a diaper cream if your baby's skin turns red. The best one is Lansinoh Diaper Cream as it is the combination of three different types of diaper creams. Use plenty of diaper cream to cover the area.

Tips

• Do not bathe your baby too much. It can dry out his or her skin. In fact, if your baby is very young, you only need to bathe them every 2-3 days.
• Talk to your doctor if you follow all the steps above and still have issues managing your baby's sensitive skin.

Warnings

• If you see uncharacteristic redness, and aren't sure that it is just standard sensitive skin, then go see your doctor.
