Soaps:

Hydrate: 
Babies should remain focused on breastfeeding between the ages of 4-6months. Getting plenty of breast milk or formula milk can keep hydrated and full of nutrients. Toddlers should have a good amount of water intake. It is important to maintain a good and healthy diet for infants and toddlers.


Moisturizer: 
Moisturizers can be very helpful in preventing dry skin. Kids have sensitive skin so it is best to invest in moisturizers that contain oil and water and no fragrance or chemical additives. Use a moisturizer on the baby after the bath while baby’s skin is slightly damp. Hydrate baby skin twice a day.

Don’t overheat your house as low temperatures can causes chapped skin. To get rid of the cold, keep the house temperature comfortable enough that you or your baby does not chill. Overheated house causes skin to dry out even more. You cna also use a dehumidifier to keep in indoor temperature breathable and fresh.
