Newborn dry skin: Eczema

Most newborn skin problems, such as eczema don't develop for the first month or two. Eczema appears as a red, itchy rash mostly on face and scalp, at the elbows, and behind the knees.

A few tips on preventing dry, irritated skin and eczema:

  1. Try bathing once a week to allow skin to retain natural oils.
  2. Limit your use of baby skin products. If necessary, use only a small amount of lotion on dry skin areas.
  3. Make sure baby wears only soft clothing.
