Frequently asked questions about baby and child care

Which care products do I need for my newborn?
During the first few months, you only need a few essentials. A gentle baby wash, a protective nappy cream and soft baby wipes or flannels are enough for daily cleansing. A high quality baby oil helps moisturise dry areas and is also ideal for a soothing baby massage.

What should I consider when caring for sensitive baby skin?
A baby's skin is up to five times thinner than an adult's, meaning it loses moisture more quickly and is more sensitive to environmental influences. It's therefore best to choose skincare products without synthetic fragrances, parabens or microplastics. Certified organic skincare products can help support your child's natural skin barrier and protect against dryness.

How often should I bathe my newborn?
Many midwives recommend bathing your baby once or twice a week to help preserve the skin's delicate protective acid mantle. The ideal water temperature is 37°C. Adding a few drops of pure almond oil or a moisturising bath product can help keep the skin soft and supple. On other days, simply clean your baby's face, neck folds, hands and nappy area with a soft cloth.

When should I start using sun cream on my child?
During your baby's first year, it's best to avoid direct sunlight altogether. Protective clothing and shade offer the safest protection at this age. For exposed areas of skin or for older toddlers, choose a sun cream specifically designed for babies with SPF 50+. Mineral filters create an invisible protective barrier on the skin and provide protection immediately after application.

How can I quickly soothe a sore nappy area?
Moisture and friction inside a nappy can quickly irritate your baby's delicate skin. Change nappies regularly and gently clean the area with plain water or wipes designed for particularly sensitive skin. Allow the skin plenty of time to air dry afterwards. A nappy cream containing zinc or calendula can quickly soothe redness and create a protective barrier against further moisture.
