My 11-day-old baby has very peeling hands (the rest of his body too, but especially his hands). What should I do?

Hello Ma'am,

The situation you describe happens more often than we think. Often, this can be explained by the way we baby him.

In fact, at this age, it's best not to use soap, but rather to dip him in warm water after applying grapeseed oil (or any other edible oil) all over his body.

This oil will help reduce dryness of the skin and reduce the amount of peeling skin on the child. Once this step is complete, make sure the child's skin doesn't stay wet by blotting with a towel...and you're done! 👍

I hope these few tips help you in the future!

Good evening,
