Patient's question:
The baby is five months old, but the facial skin is dry, red, and cracked. It hasn't improved in 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 pay attention: Vaseline is highly water-resistant and does not mix easily with water. Due to this property, Vaseline is 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 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 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.
