Baby Skincare

Recent research suggests that it is safer to bath your baby in plain water for at least the first month of life.

At birth, the top layer of your baby’s skin is very thin and absorbent. This means it is more sensitive to damage from germs, chemicals and water loss. Sharon Trotter, midwife, mother, published Author of ‘Breastfeeding: the essential guide’ and Founder of TIPS Ltd, shares her knowledge with us. More advice on baby skin care
