Patient's question:
The baby is five months old, but the facial skin is dry, red, and cracked. It hasn't improved for two weeks. Can a newborn's face be applied with "Johnson's Baby Multi-Effect Moisturizer"?Doctor's answer:
In the summer, it is still recommended not to use it. When using Vaseline for babies, please pay attention: Vaseline is highly water-resistant and does not mix easily with water. This property makes it an excellent moisturizer. Additionally, it has a very faint scent, making it suitable for infants. However, it is important to note that the Vaseline used for babies should be baby-specific Vaseline.Babies' skin tends to dry out in the winter, so mothers can apply it daily to protect their delicate skin, moisturize it, and achieve better results. However, it should be avoided in the summer. Additionally, mothers should pay attention: before applying Vaseline to babies, it should be evenly spread on the hands and applied as thinly as possible. When using it, a little warm water can be added to thin out the Vaseline before applying it to the baby.
Moreover, some attentive mothers have tried applying a thin layer of Vaseline before using a diaper, followed by a layer of diaper cream, which is even more effective in preventing diaper rash and isolating bacteria.
