Protect your baby’s skin health!

“My baby’s skin is so dry!” You can rebel. Don’t worry, dry skin in newborn babies is very common but needs special attention. The reason for this is that the baby is always in a liquid environment in the womb and cannot get used to the dry air of the world immediately! In addition, because they have very thin skin, their ability to retain moisture is not developed. Therefore, conditions such as dryness, flaking and peeling can be seen in their skin.
