Dry skin on two month old baby

Babies around two months old are in a critical period of growth and development. At this time, parents must pay attention to applying talcum powder to the baby after taking a bath, and rub some boiled water. It is best to choose baby-specific ones, because the baby's skin at this stage is very delicate, and the current weather will cause the child's skin to become dry.

1. Regularly apply moisturizer developed specifically for children on your baby's face, hands, etc.

2. Let your baby eat more foods containing vitamin A and vitamin B, such as egg yolks, milk, beans, carrots, etc.

3. It is best not to take your baby out when the wind is strong to prevent your baby's skin from being exposed to dry air for a long time.

4. Apply moisturizer frequently to areas that are particularly prone to dryness, such as cheeks, forehead, buttocks, etc.

In winter, babies often encounter dry and cracked skin

If dry skin does not cause pain or itching, it will not affect the baby's daily activities. However, when skin dryness is more severe and develops into a chapped state, it will cause discomfort. These cracks occur in areas where there is frequent friction or a thicker stratum corneum. They vary in depth and length and are often accompanied by pain and bleeding.

The baby's skin is dry and even cracked, which is mainly related to the cold weather that causes the capillaries to contract, and the sweat glands and sebaceous glands to secrete less, causing the skin to become dry, thickened, and lose elasticity, thus promoting the occurrence of cracks. If the baby is picky about food and lacks vitamin A and vitamin B, it can easily cause skin cracking.

The baby's skin is dry, and his cute little face is scratched so that it becomes dry, red and peeling, which makes his parents feel distressed. What should you do if your baby has dry skin? Experts give you these four tips, try them now.

Tip 1: Apply moisturizing oil

After washing your baby's hands and face or bathing him/her, remember to apply moisturizing oil. If you find your baby's hands and feet are chapped, you can soak them in warm water for a few minutes. After the chapped skin softens, wash off the dirt with soap and apply hand cream.

Tip 2: Don’t take a bath too often

People in the south take more baths per week than people in the north, so naturally they also bathe their babies more often in winter. In the cold winter, it is better not to bathe your baby too often and the water temperature should not be too hot. Because the high water temperature and alkaline bath gel can easily wash away the oil on the baby's skin, making the baby's skin drier and cracked.
