Are baby wipes suitable for sensitive skin?
If your baby has sensitive skin, you can rest assured that there are a range of wipes to choose from so you can find the best option for your baby.
Some brands even claim their wipes are milder than a washcloth and water - just look out for fragrance-free wipes that are mild enough to be used on sensitive skin.
What lotion can I use on my baby?
Babies have delicate skin, so you’ll need to use a gentle moisturiser specifically designed for babies, or just a simple baby oil.
If your baby’s skin is very dry or cracked, avoid using creams or lotions unless told otherwise by a doctor.
You may use a natural plant-based oil like almond oil or olive oil to relieve dry skin if necessary.
What is baby powder?
Baby powder, or talcum powder, is designed to keep your baby’s skin cool and comfortable whilst relieving irritation caused by friction.
It’s made from the naturally occurring mineral talc, which absorbs moisture and reduces friction when powdered.
What is baby oil used for?
Baby oil is specially formulated to keep your baby or toddler’s delicate skin soft, healthy and moisturised.
You can use baby oil during a baby massage, which is a great way to connect with your baby and may even improve their sleep.
Please note: the NHS recommends waiting until your baby is one month old before you start using any oils or lotions.
