About Baby’s Skin

Your baby’s skin is one of the best defences against irritants, toxins and infections. But in order to help protect your baby, it has to be healthy.

Newborn Skin Conditions

If you notice something unusual about your newborn’s skin, don’t fret just yet. These common newborn skin conditions are generally harmless and will often go away on their own.

What to look for

Your baby’s umbilical cord will fall off about a week after you bring them home. Until then, be sure to keep it clean and dry.

As your baby grows, they’ll explore more and make more of a mess, which means you’ll wash them more often. Make sure to keep their skin moisturised as it’s their first line of defence from the outside world.

Keep your baby’s skin hydrated
