Babies Newborn Skin

If you find that the newborn skin your baby has is extra sensitive, there are some things you can do to help them. All babies have sensitive skin which can lead to skin rashes, but some have skin that is more sensitive than others. The baby skin is going to be a challenge for a little while, but you shouldn’t overdo it in the worry department. Also, remember that though you may think you are being too rough on your baby’s newborn skin, there is not much you can do about some of the things that are going to happen while you care for your baby.

Enjoying Babies Newborn Skin

Newborn skin is so soft that you may spend a lot of time nuzzling them on the cheek or feeling their little feet. Just remember that when they are very young, it is not a good idea to do something that can tickle them. They can not yet laugh to release the ‘energy’ that tickling is going to produce in them. When they can laugh, keep it light so it is not overwhelming to them. You may notice your fingers leave red marks when tickling if they have extremely sensitive infant skin. This does not mean you hurt them.

Babies Newborn Skin is Very Sensitive

In fact, most newborn skin that is especially sensitive is going to turn red wherever you touch them. The lightest of touches may not leave a red mark or spot, but most things like changing a diaper, picking them up, and changing clothing is going to mark up the babies skin. This type of red mark is going to go away very quickly. If not, someone may have been a bit too rough. When they get stronger, we often feel that they can take a little more, but new born skin is sensitive for quite a while.

Newborn skin can also be prone to baby rashes that come from drooling or from feedings. Babies are sloppy and any type of liquid that sits on the skin will cause a baby rash. If you notice red bumps on the chin or around the neck, it could be that is what is going on. If the newborn rash does not go away with care, ask your pediatrician if something else is going on. It can be hard to keep the neck dry on pudgy babies, but do the best that you can. Their new born skin needs extra care that only you can give. They should grow out of it, but for a while, you will have to use care. Keep diapers changed often to help reduce diaper rashes and use powder (if approved by your doctor) to keep moisture from the skin.

There are many other things that can irritate newborn skin. Clothing items made for babies are usually okay for them, but some babies may need soft, natural fibers against their baby skin. Some adornments can irritate sensitive newborn baby skin, though they do not bother other babies. Keep your eyes open for red marks and find the cause of all of them to eliminate the problem. Don’t forget to get a detergent made to wash baby clothing items that have no dyes, fragrance, or harsh chemicals. This will go a long way towards keeping the baby skin healthy and soothed.
