A Parent’s Guide to Understanding Baby Skin Sensitivity
Babies have incredibly delicate skin, which makes them more prone to irritation, dryness, and rashes. Their skin barrier is thinner than adults’, meaning even small things-like harsh detergents, synthetic fabrics, or weather changes-can affect them quickly.
Why Baby Skin Is Sensitive
-
Thin skin layers that lose moisture easily
-
Developing immunity, making them reactive to new products
-
Increased dryness, especially in hot or cold climates
Common Sensitivity Signs
Redness, dry patches, heat rash, diaper rash, and eczema are the most frequent issues parents notice.
How to Protect Your Baby’s Skin
- Choose soft, breathable cotton clothing to reduce irritation.
- Use gentle, fragrance-free bath products.
- Keep skin moisturized with baby-safe lotions.
- Wash clothes with mild detergents to avoid allergic reactions.
Understanding your baby’s skin helps you choose the right products and fabrics-keeping them comfortable, happy, and rash-free every day
