A baby's skin is tender and can be affected by seasonal changes. In the dry season, babies can suffer from chapped skin, dryness, redness and rashes. We have to deal with such problems even while bathing the baby. The transition from good weather to sweltering heat can result in a number of illnesses, including issues with the skin and hair. It can be difficult for new parents to establish and maintain a baby care regimen. The varying seasons and other factors make maintaining a safe and healthy care regimen for your tiny bundle of joy incredibly challenging, no matter how hard you try. Here are some tips for caring for your infant to keep your baby's skin looking the best.

The most important part of the baby's bath is massage. Studies show that massage helps to strengthen emotional bonds and gives the baby a sense of security and mental well-being. You can select olive oil or baby oil from a reputed company. Avoid oils with heavy perfumes. Massage has many physical benefits too. It helps blood circulation, muscle tone and growth. The practice of leaving the baby in the sun, after the massage, for about ten minutes, helps in the formation of Vitamin D, aiding the development of healthy bones and preventing diseases like rickets. The baby should not be left in the sun in summer, as it can cause sunburn.
