When Tops was born I went on a Baby Massage course, it was fantastic and helped us bond and helped a few dry patches in her skin to clear up. I used the skills I had learnt with BB and so I think that a Baby Massage course for soft skin is my tip!
Contrary to what your Mother in Law, friends, family or postman may advise, a baby doesn’t need a bath every night. Baby skin is too sensitive to bath products at the newborn stage & they really can go a few days in-between baths as they aren’t digging in the garden – yet.
Let babies have some naked time, throw a towel down and let them kick around
When DD was born she was 10 days overdue and had typical ‘overcooked’ skin! We used olive oil applied on cotton wool to get rid of all her dry skin.
While you’re pregnant, make sure to rub your tummy and sides everyday with something moisturising (it doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive!) = and avoid awful stretch marks!!
Waitrose Bottom Butter costs less than £2 but is a wonder cream. It is meant for babies bottoms but is also a great anti ageing cream for us mums! I go through pots of the stuff as is great for chapped skin/lips, dry hands and of course for babies bottoms!
It is also totally natural so no nasties…..
Another great tip is to moisturise when your/your babies skin is still damp as this locks in moisture!
Baby massage is great for bonding with baby and adding a drop of Lavender oil to Grapeseed oil not only keeps the skin lovely and soft, but helps little one to sleep too!
I used olive oil on my son’s skin when he was a newborn. It massaged in really well and gave him beautiful skin. I will be doing this with my next child (due next month!) – no fancy lotions for us!
My top tip is to not bather your baby every night. The advise has changed from having my first to my fifth. With my fifth the advice is only to bather once a week, and I must say that it worked. The first had very poor skin, and the fifth beautiful skin. Only bathe when needed, and only use warm water. NO detergents!
Baby’s aren’t getting very dirty. Wash with pure water only for the first few months.

Forget all the fancy lotions and use olive oil on your baby’s skin. No chemicals and great for baby massage!
Dry all those little wrinkles and crevasses to make sure that baby doesn’t develop nappy rush x
