WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BABY SKIN CONDITIONS
Mother, Baby & Child|August 2021
There is nothing quite like the velvety soft, delicate skin of a baby, however, many skin conditions can affect their skin, leading to rashes, bumps and uncomfortable babies. Here, we look at three of the most common skin conditions mums encounter.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BABY SKIN CONDITIONS

While it is true that many babies are prone to skin irritation in their first few months, there is always a way to treat this and ease any discomfort!

BABY ECZEMA

Babies often get red, scaly skin that could point towards a skin condition known as Eczema. This baby skin condition is a common issue but can be very itchy if left untreated. Some symptoms include patches of red, dry, itchy skin on the face, neck, elbows, or behind the ears.

How to treat eczema

To treat eczema, keep your baby’s skin well moisturised with an unperfumed moisturizer. You can do this a few times a day - for example, when you feed or change your baby. Using products that are free of sodium laurel sulfate is especially important as this ingredient can dry out the skin and make it more irritated. Lastly, choose fragrance-free and alcohol-free wet wipes as they are gentler on the skin. WaterWipes are the world’s purest baby wipes and provide gentle but effective cleansing for your baby’s skin.
