Sensitive skin
Baby’s skin is very soft and sensitive. Remember, before this your baby was snuggled in the protective environment of your womb. So, newborn babies are very sensitive to almost everything, including air, light, water, to name a few. As a rule, whenever you want to apply a cream or oil, etc. on the baby’s skin, test it on a small patch for few days before applying it on the regular basis. While a little redness of the skin is normal for the newborn, however any rash should be immediately called to the paediatrician’s attention.
