👶 Why Baby Skin Needs Extra Love

Your baby’s skin is soft, sensitive, and still developing—making it more vulnerable to dryness, irritation, and rashes. That’s why caring for your baby’s delicate skin is about more than just keeping them clean—it’s also about protecting their comfort.

🌿 Baby Skincare Tips for Everyday Care

Here are some gentle, effective baby skincare tips to help you care for your little one’s skin from day one:

1. Use Mild, Fragrance-Free Products

Choose cleansers and lotions that are free from harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances. We recommend using products that are dermatologically tested and hypoallergenic.

2. Keep Bath Time Short and Sweet

Babies don’t need daily baths. When you do bathe them, use lukewarm water and limit it to 5–10 minutes to avoid drying out their skin.

3. Moisturise After Every Bath

Apply a gentle baby moisturiser while the skin is still damp to lock in hydration—especially if your baby has sensitive skin or dry patches.

4. Dress in Soft, Breathable Fabrics

Natural fabrics like cotton are best. Avoid wool or synthetic materials that can irritate delicate skin.

🚼 Preventing nappy Rash: What Every Parent Should Know

Preventing diaper or nappy rash is one of the most common skincare concerns for new parents. Here’s how to stay ahead of it:

  • Change nappies frequently to keep the area dry.
  • Use BabyLove nappies, designed with breathable layers and high absorbency to reduce moisture build-up.
  • Apply a barrier cream with zinc oxide to protect the skin.
  • Let your baby go nappy-free for short periods to allow the skin to breathe.

💖 Sensitive Skin’s Care: [LB1] When to Seek Help

If your baby’s skin shows signs of persistent redness, flaking, or irritation, it may be more than just sensitivity. Conditions like eczema or allergic reactions are common in infants and can be managed with the right care. Always consult your GP or Paediatrician if you’re unsure.
