mommies can I put lotion on my baby she's 4 days ?
My baby is almost 3 weeks and I've only put lotion on him twice for the reasons above. They have natural oils already :)
My opinion newborn babies do not need lotion because their skin is actually very moist beneath the top layer of skin, The risk of using lotion on your baby at this time can cause your baby’s body to absorb chemicals that could harm their system, Dry skin in newborn babies can be caused by their new skin being exposed to dry room air. Newborn dry skin is actually quite normal and not uncomfortable to the baby. If you feel the need to use a lotion on your baby, try to pick a very mild lotion that is free of fragrance or dyes. Some pediatricians even advise using plain petroleum jelly on your baby.
I was told not to put lotion on babies that young.
