Giving your baby a bath is more than just a daily baby skin care routine. Proper hygiene is as much a part of keeping your baby healthy and strong just like feeding and getting enough sleep.
Keeping your baby’s skin healthy — soft, supple, smooth, clean and rash-free — isn’t difficult at all. All it takes is some extra care in choosing the right products that are best suited for their skin’s needs. Learning the proper way to apply each one is just as easy. All you need to do is keep a few things in mind to keep your baby’s skin healthy:
Start with soap or body wash, from ears to toes
Using Baby Dove Bathing Bar or Hair to Toe Wash, clean the back of your baby’s ears and around the neck, and work your way down. You can use either a washcloth or your hands, but be careful not to scratch the skin. Avoid using a rough washcloth, since that might irritate your child’s skin.
Spend a few seconds on the hair
Remember: The scalp is also skin! A healthy scalp is just as important as the health of the rest of your baby’s body. With Baby Dove Shampoo or Hair to Toe Wash, place a few drops on your palm, rub palms together, and shampoo your child’s hair. Rinse gently but thoroughly, while avoiding the eye area.
Wash the diaper area last
A splash of water, or a quick clean with Baby Dove Baby Wipes, is all you’ll need to for baby’s diaper area. Don’t forget other sensitive areas: clean your baby’s belly button and the creases in the legs, too.
When drying skin: Pat, don’t rub
While rubbing your baby’s skin with a towel might make it feel like you’re rubbing the dirt away or removing dead skin cells, doing so might irritate the skin. Patting the skin dry instead will help lock the moisture in.
Follow up with baby lotion
Use lotion to avoid any dryness or skin irritation to your baby’s skin. Since lotion acts as a barrier between your child’s skin and rough surfaces, it’s a great way to keep all that moisture locked in.
Baby Dove Nourishing Baby Lotion can deeply moisturize baby’s skin for up to 24 hours. Start with a pea-sized amount of Baby Dove Baby Lotion, and gently rub it into your child’s skin, paying special attention to creases and folds, such as the neck, elbows, knees and thighs.
Baby Dove products are created without harmful parabens, phthalates, and sulfates, making it safe and suitable for baby’s daily use. It also goes beyond gentle to help moisturize baby’s delicate skin. Practice this skin care routine to keep your baby’s skin soft, smooth, and healthy. #ChooseMoisture with Baby Dove!
