As advised by doctors, bathing your baby every 2-3 days is more than enough for keeping the skin dirt and germ-free. Also, keep the bathing time short as longer baths can irritate the baby’s skin and cause dryness.

- All baby products are safe and gentle
We, as mothers assume that products specifically designed for babies ought to be gentle and mild on their skin, but this isn’t true. Just because the product is for a baby's skin doesn’t mean it is always safe to use it. They can contain harmful chemicals and ingredients like parabens, artificial colors or scents, and allergens that can do more harm than good. Always check the ingredients before you buy baby care products online or from stores.
