My baby’s skin is really dry

We bath our baby every night but without any soap. We haven’t used soap ever. We use a soap free cleaner. We use Almond oil after the bath. Do you think that it might be caused by exposing his skin to warm water every night?

I agree, I only bathed my baby 1-2 weekly because his skin is sensitive and he did ok

Thank you everyone for your recommendation. I’ll try cutting back on bath time

If that doesn’t help you could also try a cool mist humidifier at night. 👍🏼 We love ours! I have eczema and it helps my skin a ton.

Bio oil worked wonders for my boy !

I have the same problem and I do coconut oil every night but the pediatrician said it doesn’t actually penetrate so recommended Aquafor instead. But I too will start cutting back on baths.

shower infront of children

Is it weird to shower infront of your children, or your children see you naked?
At what age should this stop?

I’m just looking at what everyone’s thoughts are as I have a 7 month old and at the moment it’s hard for me to shower without him getting upset.

We contact nap atm, otherwise I'd shower when he sleeps!

It’s easier to bring his play mat into the bathroom whilst I shower so i can at least wash, else i have to wait for my husband to arrive home at 5/6pm.

Keen to see what people's opinions are and how other people do this!

GIRL DADS TAKING DAUGHTER TO BATHROOM IN PUBLIC

If a girl dad needs to take his daughter to the bathroom in public and there are no family bathrooms … I swear video online of a dad saying he uses the women’s bathroom but always knocks and announces ‘girl dad helping my daughter go to the bathroom’ and I love that idea and mens rooms are disgusting but wanted to see everyone’s thoughts

Dummies

What’s everyone’s views on dummies? Are you planning to use them and if so at what age ? I am breastfeeding and my midwife said to avoid them as it might effect feeding but baby is feeding really well now and he has now found his thumb to suck for comfort ! I would prefer him to use a sterilised dummy than his hands that might carry germs but he is only 3.5 weeks not sure if it’s too early ?
