When is the best time for baby's skin to fall off?

After birth, a newborn baby will experience slight shedding during its growth process because it is separated from the mother's body and gradually embarks on the normal development track of the body. Shedding is normal. As long as the child is well cared for, local infection is avoided, and the skin is not torn by hand, the baby will slowly recover. Shedding generally takes no more than three months, and the specific time depends on the baby's physical condition.

How long does it take for the newborn's skin to fall off?

After a newborn baby leaves the mother's body, the body will begin to shed its skin as it grows and develops. The duration of the baby's shed skin will vary depending on the baby's physical constitution and genetic factors. Therefore, during this period, parents need to take care of the baby's diet and daily life while also taking care of the newborn's skin condition.

1. It is normal for newborns to have peeling skin. Don’t worry too much. It will usually heal in about half a month to a month.

Newborn skin care precautions

1. Clean. When you wake up in the morning, use a soft towel or gauze soaked in warm water to wipe your baby's face, paying attention to the cleanliness of the facial features. Especially after feeding or eating, the key area around the mouth should be thoroughly cleaned. Don't use a rough towel to wipe your baby's face, and don't use alkaline soap to clean your baby. Give your baby a warm bath before going to bed every night, and wipe the baby's butt with a baby-specific soft wipe. It can not only clean the baby, but also moisturize the baby, effectively preventing the occurrence of diaper rash.

2. Moisturizing. In addition to letting the baby drink more water, parents should gently apply a small hot, damp towel to the baby's lips every day to allow the lips to fully absorb moisture, and then apply baby-specific lip balm or sesame oil. After cleaning the face, apply baby lotion and moisturizer to moisturize the baby; after bathing, dry the baby's whole body in time, then warm the moisturizer with your hands and gently apply it on the baby's body to lock in the moisture needed by the skin.

3. Sun protection. The skin of a newborn baby is very delicate and fragile, so parents should avoid over-exposing the baby to the sun when going out, especially strong sunlight. When going out, use a non-irritating, high-quality baby sunscreen that does not contain organic chemical sunscreens on exposed skin.

From the moment the baby leaves the mother's body and comes into this world, he will gradually shed all the protection from the mother's body and gradually grow into an independent individual. Shedding is the first step in the growth and development of a newborn. This process requires parents' careful care and protection so that the baby can have a strong foundation to welcome a thriving tomorrow.
