5 steps to hydrate the skin of your little newborn
Hello family! Dr. Anna Estapé Fiol collaborates today in our blog. Pediatrician and, as she defines herself, with a great interest in pediatric dermatology. In this post, he offers us the best advice for hydrating the skin of our little ones, we leave you in his company.
Dr. Anna recommends that we always apply a moisturizing cream after each bath and from the first day of life, since there are studies that show that early hydration can reduce the risk of developing atopic dermatitis in the future.
In addition, it is common for babies to present skin peeling during the first days of life that is physiological and will be resolved with the application of an emollient product a couple of times a day.
But how should we apply moisturizer to our baby?
- First of all, we will wash our hands well with soap and water and remove all jewelry. It is better to keep your nails short to avoid damaging them.
- We will apply the moisturizing cream just after the bath, before the skin is completely dry, since in this way the hydration is intensified. The recommended application frequency is at least once a day.
- We will heat the emollient between the hands, so that its application is more pleasant.
- We will apply a thin layer on the skin, performing a gentle circular massage, regular and without friction. In this way we will achieve a relaxing effect at the same time. We must avoid applying emollient in areas of damaged skin or with eczema.
- The application of the emollient should be a moment of pleasure and relaxation. Enjoy this little moment of connection with your baby.
And finally, remember that we should not expose babies under 6 months of age to the sun and that we should protect their skin from the harmful effects of solar radiation with a suitable photoprotector.
