The skin is the largest organ of our body and, therefore, we must pay special attention to the newborn because it is much more sensitive and delicate than adults.
Caring for the baby's skin at birth
The newborn's skin is immature and tender, as it is still forming. As it is not yet weathered we use cotton clothing and little heavy, especially for a newborn, so as not dañársela. Regardless that the child is born in hot weather or cold we should avoid the most sun exposure, because this will be very harmful for our baby.
More irritation or dryness If the baby is not well fed or not drinking enough water that may be reflected in your skin will appear. Therefore feeding and hydration are crucial to the health of the skin of our baby.

At birth the child is protected with a layer of natural oil that protects it in the womb. Although there is no exact date for when we must give the first bath to small it is advisable to wait a few days, since this natural protection keeps the pampered baby of the bacteria from the external world outside the womb.
Every time we go to touch the baby must have clean and disinfected hands. It would be advisable not lavárnoslas with products containing alcohol or colonies, because these will also be harmful to the skin of our little one. With the same mild soaps with which we can clean the baby we can also cleanse your hands every time we kiss, move or take the child.
The same applies if you have a skin infection such as a cold or eczema. If you have any of these skin diseases is expedient to touch the baby's skin as little as possible, because it might infect him. It is best to talk to a professional who can advise the best possible way, so that our baby is healthy and protected.
Your baby needs a few specific products
What products may or may not apply
As for the products that we can apply to our children we buy always specific to the newborn baby. It is also important that the brand is trusted and that the same product does not contain colonies or alcohols that can irritate the skin of the child.
As the skin is still formed it is thinner than the skin of adults. So, moisturizers and soaps will be absorbed more easily and we must consider that are not too fat to not drag the natural fat from the skin Baby maintained even when I was in the womb.
When applying any product on the skin of the little we have to consider that the skin is free of other products so as not to irritate him. If we applied moisturizer not apply any other product on the skin of the baby until he is again not bathed and cleaned the skin of any other product.

There are areas in the body of our baby which we should be more careful, especially behind the ears and face. Also the back of the knees and elbows. The folds of skin that may have small wrists, arms and legs should be well hydrated and we must be careful not to become infected, because if it is hot may be excessively irritated by rubbing between the two sides of the skin.
When applying soap or moisturizers can do it with a light massage will also help the baby to calm down and feel more relaxed. Furthermore, this light massage will help to better spread the cream or soap on the skin of the child. These soaps or creams should always be PH4 or 4'5 max, but never superior to him, since this is the most suitable for our baby.
Your baby will feel more relaxed and calm
Finally, if we want to apply cologne baby it is best to apply it lightly on the clothes, but it is better not to apply it on the skin. Although a colony indicated for newborns, and always accepted by our doctor, we better put on baby clothes (and that part of the clothing that you do not touch the skin) because this way we can avoid rubbing or irritation.
