✅ Pediatrician-Recommended Baby Care Practices

Newborn baby product advertisements can be overwhelming, but most commercial products are not necessary, and some can even irritate your baby’s skin. Instead, follow these pediatrician-approved basics:

🛀 Bathing

Water baths are best for the first few weeks.
Use pH-balanced baby soap (pH 5.5 preferred) only twice or thrice a week.
Avoid scented body washes and bubble baths.

🧴 Moisturizing

If your baby has dry skin, use cream (not lotion).
Apply after bath to lock in moisture.
Choose fragrance-free and paraben-free products.

💆 Oil Massage

Daily massage helps blood circulation and bonding.
Recommended oils:
- ✅ Coconut oil
- ✅ Almond oil
- ✅ Olive oil
❌ Avoid mustard oil – it can irritate and damage newborn skin.

🧼 Avoid These Products

❌ Johnson’s Baby, Himalaya Baby, Sebamed
❌ Powders, talc-based products, perfumed creams
❌ Over-the-counter antiseptic creams

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: How often should I bathe my newborn?

2–3 times a week is enough for the first month. Over-bathing can dry out the skin.

Q2: Can I use baby wipes every time?

Use plain cotton and water for newborn diaper changes. Wipes (if needed) should be fragrance-free and alcohol-free.

Q3: What is the best oil for baby massage?

Virgin coconut oil is excellent for most skin types. Almond and olive oils are also good. Avoid mustard oil.

Q4: Should I apply lotion daily?

If the skin is dry, use a thick cream over lotion. Moisturize right after bathing.

Q5: Are natural home remedies safe for newborn skin?

Many “home” products may not be sterile or pH-balanced. Consult your pediatrician before use.
