                       "Pampers bring you the softest ever Pampers Premium care Pants.Its cotton-like softness is #softestForBaby Skin and allows it to breathe,thus keeping baby's skin soft and healthy,and your baby happy".

                   
                              I Still remember the day my daughter was born.Apart from the beautiful feeling  of being privileged to have my bungle of love in my own arms.It was my baby's tiny little hands,her beautiful eyes,her cute nose.her rosy lips and the softest touch she had that made me realize that however much we must have read or hear before the baby arrives,this wonderfully miraculous experience of having your baby's first touch is just beyond imaginations.You feel it only when you experience it .I brought her cheek close to mine making a gentle touch.I wondered "she is soft" but the next movement a question surrounded my thoughts, "Will be able to keep her skin as smooth and soft as it is today?" I promised myself to try my crazy best to keep it so.

                      Even we are using so thin soft cloth to run child's body.If baby is happy, then the parents will defiantly happy. Many of us seen when the mosquito bites baby then what is happens baby's skin? The sin color becomes dark red. From this only we can find out how much soft baby's skin is.

                          In all the new born babies the skin is very soft and delicate, tiny pink pumps appears on the baby's faces and chest, one should not squeeze the pimples. It may lead to scarring and rashes on the skin. In time being they may disappear  otherwise we have to consult the pediatrician.
    

Some tips to keep baby's skin soft,smooth and safe

1.Oil massage

                   It's traditional to massage a baby before his bath in many families, oil are preferred over creams and lotions for this purpose.There are some things  you should keep in mind when massaging your baby.Some experts recommend using a vegetable oil or plant oil. They absorb quickly and digest easily if your baby sucks his oil smeared  thumb. If  you're using vegetable oil, cold pressed, unrefined oils are best suited for massage.
                           Don't put any oil in your baby's nose navel or ears. Although it is a common practice , putting oil in these places could lead to infections.Use gentle, upward strokes. When massaging your baby, despite popular belief, there is no proof to suggest applying pressure on your baby's head will make it round.

2. Use Diaphers

                 Be careful to selct the diapher.Use quality diapher that are skin friendly and dermatologically tested for your baby's sensitive skin. Diaphers play a very important role in a baby's health and well being. Make sure that the diapher you are using for your baby is softest. Mother want to use softest diaphers and i must say PAMPHERS Pants are softest for baby's skin, hence preffered by mothers all over the world. Is cotton- like softness is # softest For baby skin and allows it to brathe, thus keeping baby's skin soft and jhealthy, and your baby happy. In my experience, Pampers active baby with 5 star skin protection provides a comfortable fit with an extra dry layer to prevent urine from coming back to the top sheet for long hours.

3. Wash new clothes

                 Your new born may be small, but she can get through a mountain of clothes in a short of time. It therfore pays to be practical when buying your baby's clothes and preparing to wash them. When you buy new clothes for your baby, it's best to wash them before your baby wears them for the first time. This will help to remove any substances or dust that may irritate your baby's delicate skin.
       Some parents prefer to use non- biological detergent  to wash their baby's clothes. Biological detegents contasin enzymes will irritate their baby's skin. There  isn't much evidence for this, but you may want to play it safe. A gentle fabric softener may help to prevent your baby's clothes from  becoming itchy.

4. Prevent the sun

               It can be recommended that your baby should be kept right away  from any direct contact the sun. If you wish to take her out during the daytime then its tender skin can be covered up by using some of  the followings:

• Clothing with full pants and long sleeves
• Wear your baby a hat always when taking it out on sun

5. Use Chemical free Products

                                  It is essential to   protect your baby's skin from harmful chemicals.Your child's skin is sensitive.Make sure, you use those products which are 100% natural.There are many home made remedies to protect your child's skin. It is always better to check ingredients of the product before buying it. The medicines, cream , oil and any other baby product need to be checked. Your baby's skin more sensitive than you.Don't use the same product on your baby which you use on yourself.
