An expectant mother longs for the day she can cuddle and caress her newborn baby�s soft, smooth skin. But in reality, babies don't necessarily have perfect skin. Many babies experience a variety of common skin conditions through the first few years of life. Pediatric dermatologist Doctor Helen Shin:

"Many new parents think that their babies should have perfect, beautiful skin, but that�s rarely the case, and it�s rarely the parents� fault."

The most asked-about skin condition: diaper rash! Help avoid it by changing diapers frequently. Use a baby ointment or cream, like Balmex�, every time you change to help prevent outbreaks. Doctors also suggest daily bathing with non-drying, allergy-tested baby washes like Johnson�s� Softwash� baby wash, which combines mild cleansers and hydrating baby lotion. According to experts, bath time is the perfect time for mother and baby to bond. For many busy moms, this is a great opportunity to save time by sharing baby�s bath products.
