How often to wash your baby?
Does your baby have atopic skin? To avoid further drying out your fragile skin, you should adapt the frequency of washing. Therefore, it is recommended to limit baths to 3 times a week.
On days when you are not bathing your child, you can only clean the necessary areas with a soft cloth and lukewarm water. You then maintain adequate hygiene while preventing the skin from drying out.
How to wash and dry your baby?
To wash your baby and protect his atopic skin , here are our tips:
- Use a shower gel specially formulated for sensitive skin
- Avoid cosmetics that contain artificial fragrances and colors to limit irritation
- Prefer lukewarm water, because hot water dries the skin
- Limit bath time to between 5 and 10 minutes
- Dry your baby gently by patting, not rubbing
- Use a soft, absorbent microfiber or bamboo fiber towel, for example
- Wash your towels and gloves with a gentle, natural laundry detergent with as few irritants as possible
