How to care for your baby's skin after bathing

  • Pat the skin dry with a soft towel without rubbing, and dry the folds of the neck, armpits and groin carefully
  • Apply lotion or milk while the skin is still slightly damp – it spreads more easily and helps retain moisture
  • A light lotion is enough for normal skin; for dry skin choose a richer milk or cream
  • Choose fragrance-free products for sensitive skin and in the first weeks of life
  • An oil massage can be part of the evening routine – warm a small amount of oil in your palms and apply with gentle strokes

Winter care and face protection

In cold and wind, a baby's cheeks and lips quickly become red and chapped. Before going outside, apply a richer protective face cream (e.g. Sebamed Baby protective face cream or Bioderma ABCDerm face cream) and protect the lips with a balm. Light water-based moisturisers are not the best choice right before going out into severe cold.

Powder and cradle cap – what to watch for

  • Do not shake powder directly onto your baby – put a little on your own palm, away from the face, so your baby does not inhale the dust
  • Do not apply powder to damp, red or broken skin; for chafing choose a protective cream
  • For cradle cap, apply the cream as directed by the manufacturer and gently remove flakes with a soft brush after washing – do not pick them
  • If redness, flakes or dry patches spread, become weepy or itchy, consult your paediatrician

Pharmacist's advice

A baby's skin usually does not need many products: a mild bath product, one body lotion or milk and, in winter, a protective face cream. Introduce each new product on its own and test it on a small area of skin first.

If dry skin does not improve with regular care, or you notice itchy red patches, flaking or weepy changes, consult a paediatrician or dermatologist – these may be signs of atopic dermatitis, which needs special care.

Frequently asked questions

Should I apply lotion to my baby after every bath?
If the skin is normal and does not feel tight, lotion is not necessary after every bath. For dry skin, in winter and for babies prone to flaking, regular application of lotion or milk after bathing helps keep the skin soft.

What is the difference between baby lotion and baby milk?
Lotion has a lighter texture and absorbs quickly, so it suits normal skin and warmer weather. Body milk contains more lipids and is richer, making it better for dry skin and winter.

Is baby powder safe?
Powder should only be used on healthy, dry skin and in small amounts. Apply it from your palm, never by shaking it near the face, so your baby does not inhale it. On damp or irritated skin use a protective cream instead.

How do you remove cradle cap?
Apply a cream or foam shampoo made for cradle cap as directed, wash the hair with a mild shampoo and gently remove the flakes with a soft brush. If the changes spread or are red and weepy, consult your paediatrician.
