November is Healthy Skin Month

A few suggestions for caring for your baby’s skin:

**Avoid using products that contain propylene glycol. This common additive to cosmetics is neurotoxic and has caused a seizure in a baby whose diaper rash was treated with an ointment that contained it.
*Bathe baby only two or three times each week
*Use a product identified as “cleanser” as it will have a more neutral pH
*Use products that are free of fragrances
*Moisturize/massage baby with oils that are food-grade. Avoid nut oils which may cause an allergic reaction.
