[Music]
hi I'm dr. Jody Levine a pediatrician
and dermatologist in New York City and
I'd like to give you some tips on caring
for your newborn baby's skin bathing is
always something I get asked a lot of
questions about in general use gentle
baby specific cleansers and a tear-free
shampoo in the bath and for babies with
dry and sensitive skin avoid long baths
and use warm water not too hot also
moisturize twice a day with a cream that
contains ceramides or with an ointment
creams are more moisturizing than
lotions appointments are the most
effective I like to moisturize right
after a bath when the skin is most
accepting to the moisture if your
newborn baby has peeling skin like a lot
of newborn babies do especially around
the wrists and ankles don't worry this
peeling skin does not need to be treated
because it is a normal part of your
baby's development however for babies
who continue to have dry sensitive skin
even after the first few weeks of life
special care is needed so just check
with your pediatrician in that case it's
also important to pick the right fabrics
for your baby dress your baby in light
and comfortable clothes without pleats
or seams which can create unnecessary
pressure on babies gentle skin use soft
gentle and absorbent fabrics such as
cotton or a cotton blend such as cotton
polyester or cotton spandex it's also a
good idea to pre wash clothes prior to
wear and pre wash all store-bought goods
such as towels and bedding before
allowing them to touch your child's skin
in fact 9 out of 10 dermatologists
surveyed say that it is important to
wash little ones close with a gentle
detergent before first where parents
should wash their baby's clothes in a
separate wash from the rest of the
families with a hypoallergenic and
gentle baby detergent such as dreft pure
touch created by the number-one
pediatrician recommended baby detergent
brands pure touch is 65 percent
plant-based and made from naturally
derived ingredients it's important to
protect your baby from the Sun I
recommend using baby specific products
for your infant as these products have
been tested and proven gentle unless
irritating to your baby's skin baby's
sunblock is usually made from physical
blockers such as
oxide and titanium dioxide rather than
chemical blockers used in other
sunscreens also stay out of the Sun
infants especially under six months old
should be kept out of direct sunlight
and be covered by protective clothing
and shade when possible especially
between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00
p.m. when the sun's ultraviolet
radiation is most intense when outdoors
seek shelter and shade from trees
umbrellas or stroller hoods sunscreen is
recommended for infants older than 6
months of age
choose a broad-spectrum physical blocker
SPF 30 or higher and spread evenly over
all uncovered skin including the ears
and lips but avoid the eyelids for more
