Cosmetic layette for a newborn baby

What cosmetics for a newborn baby? A list would be useful! Such an astringent for novice parents. Hygiene products for babies is a super important topic. The skin of newborns and babies is extremely sensitive. When it hurts and itches, the baby may cry, sleep badly, eat poorly - just the way it can announce its discomfort to us. A well-composed cosmetic kit - changing articles, baby powder, protective creams for the bottom, emollients and washing creams can save the day (and night) in such a situation! It is worth solidly leaning on this topic - for example, using nasal research.

Newborn beauty supply - why its preparation is important?

The question of what cosmetics for a newborn, it is worth asking well in advance.

When a baby is born, a lot changes. The time shortly after the birth can be intense - after all, there is a new person in the house, whose handling and communication must be learned from scratch. Once the baby is out in the world, we don't always have the resources (time, ability to focus) to read ingredients and browse the stores for good products.

A newborn hygiene kit is a set of products that requires advance preparation. It is not insignificant that we usually take things for the newborn already with us to the hospital or delivery house. Packed in a bag, they wait until the little one decides to join us on the other side of the belly.

List of the most necessary cosmetic layette products - when to prepare and complete it?

From our experience, resulting from frequent contact with young parents and babies, we know that the beginning of preparations often coincides with the start of the third trimester of pregnancy for the mother. In fact a cosmetic layette for a newborn is something to start preparing with, even if the due date is still far away. A list of the most necessary cosmetic layette products can be created at any time, since we do not need to know the sex and potential dimensions of the baby to choose good cosmetics for the baby.

Cosmetic layette - changing supplies, baby backfill, protective creams for bottoms

What under the diaper? Hygiene products for a newborn are largely changing cosmetics that protect, soothe, moisturize. Because wearing a diaper - whether single or reusable - is quite a challenge for sensitive skin. One thing is certain - the bottom, which spends most of the day in a diaper, needs to be aired and properly protected. Some parents recommend skin salves. Others prefer protective creams for the bottom. The disadvantage of the first solution is the clumping of powdery particles, which can promote irritation. The difficulty with using creams is the baavery wide range and variety of compositions. What to pay attention to when choosing a cream for a baby?

Cosmetics for babies layette

• are the ingredients in the cream safe/natural/organic (e.g., vegetable oils, organic butters, herbs).
.
• whether they contain zinc oxide - an ingredient that creates a barrier that absorbs moisture and soothes skin prone to irritation.
• whether the product is hypoallergenic (hypoallergenic cosmetics are devoid of allergenic properties)
.
• whether it has been dermatologically tested and approved for use in the youngest age category 0+ (from the first days of life).
• whether the cream has been tested for common allergens like nickel, chromium, cobalt.
• has the presence of artificial colors and fragrances, emulsifiers, PEG, parabens, SLS, SLES been excluded.

In the case of under diaper creams, more does not mean better. Often it is enough to apply a small amount of cream on the skin dried after washing - at each diaper change.

Do changing creams have any disadvantages? Yes. They do not always work well with reusable diapers. Oily creams and those with a high zinc content can reduce the absorbency of the inserts and fleece liners used in reusable diapers.

Wet wipes for baby

These super useful changing articles have earned their popularity. With them, it's just easier, faster and more pleasant to take care of healthy skin without flare-ups. In the case of wet wipes, the Less is more principle is especially important. When problems arise, any chemicals in baby wipes only make matters worse. Fortunately, there are Waterwipes, or wipes, that are 99.9% soaked only in water. They have the added advantage of being biodegradable and compostable. The fate of the planet is a very important issue for children!

Bath cosmetics - why are they important in a baby's layette?

Gentle body soap, the right cleansing milk, emollient or rice starch? What to add to the bathtub? There are many methods of cleansing babies' delicate skin during bathing. Again, the composition is super important - without harmful chemicals, with natural ingredients and scientifically justified synthetic additives. Brands of baby cleansing products (body and hair) that you won't find among the conglomerate samples handed out at births, and are worth knowing are:

• Linea MammaBaby
.
• Dandydill Way
.
• Azeta Bio
.
• Mini U

Infant skin care - flare-up ointment, navel prep, oil

Octenisept is second to none for baby navel care in the first days after birth. You can buy it at the pharmacy. Convenient form of spray means quick and precise dosage, protection against moisture, which is not conducive to healing of the navel and falling off the remains of the umbilical cord. We do not lubricate the belly button with creams and ointments, unless recommended by the doctor. However, it is advisable to take care of the cleanliness of this area.

Genuine products that will benefit both mother and newborn and baby are natural oils and oils. They can be applied to the bottom as an ointment for flare-ups with multiple diapers. A few drops added to water can replace an emollient. They are useful as a Shantala massage oil or a moisturizing oil for the baby. Thanks to natural oils, the right amount of moisture is locked in the skin. We can use them on the mother's skin undergoing rapid changes in tension, as well as the delicate skin of the newborn.
