Moisturising advice please

To be honest I wouldn't use a single product on a new born. They don't need anything but water at all.

I wouldn’t use anything for a new born either, allow their skin to be as nature intended

If they had bad cradle cap I’d use coconut oil and then when of those scrubbers or like metal brushes to help get into. Obviously get. And lotion I never really did because I always forgot but lots of people start right away.

We were told by our health visitor to moisturize our baby from day 1 so we’ve been doing that. As soon as he comes out the bath or whenever we think his skin looks dry. His skin is great too (he’s now 3 months old). Also remember to do behind their ears!

We use a baby moisturizer, non scented! Don’t use any products that have fragrance or are fruit based (eg cocnut) as it’s an irritant to their skin. Also don’t use Vaseline.

I am at odds with the above comment as I only ever moisturize with coconut oil, and use aquaphor at every diaper change. My girl has really good skin! And has never had a diaper rash by doing this method. She also still has not been washed with soap at 11 weeks, I did start adding calming bath to the water at 9 weeks. Her father and I have very sensitive skin so I am happy this works for her.
