Caring for dry skin problems in babies
New parents are often surprised to find the skin of their newborn isn’t “soft as a baby’s butt”, but rather spotted with patches of dry skin from the transition from a watery world to a world of air and chemicals. These dry patches are normal, and usually slough off on their own within a few weeks. Sometimes, however, the dry skin persists and increases. There are many causes for this, the most predominant of which is sensitive skin. Sensitive skin is easily irritated by chemicals, soaps, and perfumes, resulting in dry, itchy, flaky, often reddened areas of skin. Use the following suggestions to heal dry skin, and prevent it from recurring.

If the irritation occurs in areas that are often in contact with fabrics, such as the abdomen and legs, investigate laundering methods. Switch to a perfume free detergent, try different fabric softeners or eliminate softeners. Treat baby’s clothing and bedding to an extra rinse to remove excess solvents.
