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. Please ask: Can a newborn's face be applied with "Johnson's Baby Multi-Effect Moisturizing Cream"?Doctor's answer:
In the summer, it is still recommended not to use it. When using Vaseline for babies, please note the following: 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 use baby-specific Vaseline for babies.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.
Mothers should also pay attention: before applying Vaseline to babies, it should be evenly spread on the hands and applied thinly to the baby. When using it, a little warm water can be added to thin out the Vaseline before application.
Moreover, some attentive mothers have tried applying a layer of Vaseline before using a diaper, followed by a layer of diaper cream, which is more effective in preventing diaper rash and can also isolate bacteria.
