SKIN PRODUCTS:
Baby skin care products have thousands of qualities and verities in the market. You have to choose the products that are suitable to your baby skin. There are major four types of skin – oily, dry, very dry and normal. For babies these categories are of not much consideration you just have to ensure about the quality. If any product irritates skin of your kid immediately stop using that product as it might result in skin allergies and consult a dermatologist.
USE SOFT MATERIAL:
For clothing use soft and pure material as the baby’s skin is very soft and cannot bear impure and hard stuff. Pure wool and pure cotton are best. Tightly fitted dresses are not suitable as they give a restless feeling to the baby. Choose a loose dress so that it does not cause redness and itching to skin. Towels should also have a fine soft material so that the skin does not get rashes and irritation.
BODY MASSAGE:
