✅ 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.
