Most babies are bathed quite often around 5 times a week and shampooed every other day. However this isn't necessary as a baby's skin is slower to mature and doesn't need as much cleaning as an adult skin. During the initial year, bathe in warm water only and occasionally add a little organic natural baby soap.
After the bath make sure you replenish the baby's requirement of moisturizer with a soothing lotion or with some evening primrose or organic aloe oil.
Baby Diapers
- Synthetic disposable vs Natural Organic cloth diapers
Disposable diapers have always been a reason to take your sleep away. Most of the stories about cotton diapers aren't true about them being inconvenient and expensive. Though there are flushable diapers readily available in the market, organic eco friendly cloth diapers are the best buy, and you could wash them at home too.
Baby Shampoo
- Prevents baby Infections like Cradle Cap
Using the right organic shampoo helps in preventing dangerous situations in your baby like dandruff, cradle cap and eye irritation.
Cradle cap is a condition when babies develop a yellow crust over the scalp that looks like a bit of dandruff. Most parents ignore this and simply shampoo thinking this would vanish. However this aggravates the problem. Instead a small portion of organic baby oil should be massage on to the scalp, and about after an hour, the baby's head should be cleansed with an organic cotton baby washcloth and warm water. And then let the condition heal naturally.
