From Newborn to Toddler: Adjusting Your Baby's Body Wash Routine

Each milestone of a baby's growth is unique, and the same applies to their skin care. As soon as your baby arrives, his skin needs to be handled softly, particularly in terms of bathing. Choosing the right baby body wash for a newborn, an infant, or a toddler can be an ordeal, given their sensitive skin and different care needs over time. Here at Indimums, we love safe, gentle, and toxin-free skincare products. Here is a useful guide for adapting a body wash routine from newborn to toddlerhood by ensuring you always choose the best for your little one's skin.

Why use a special baby body wash?

Baby's skin is sensitive and gets dry and irritated easily and, therefore, indispensable that the products are developed specifically for them.  Natural ingredients give parents peace of mind while knowing their baby's skin is well taken care of, even from the very first bath. The baby body wash from The Indimums is made to provide a gentle cleaning and hydrating effect without using any form of toxin, artificial fragrance, or harsh chemicals.

  1. Newborn Stage - Less is best: 

    A newborn's skin is very sensitive and, during the first couple of months, is in its developing stage, which implies that it lacks a significant protection barrier. Therefore, they dry very fast and are prone to irritation. Bathing should ideally be brief and less frequent for newborns, preferably spot-cleaning. Using the best body wash when bathing a newborn is optional but, if chosen, natural and fragrance-free is advised to avoid irritation.

    Body wash for babies by The Indimums is made especially for the most sensitive skin, ideal babies. It's prepared using all-natural ingredients which maintains the skin's moisture barrier while still cleaning it. Using a soft fragrance-free body wash keeps your baby's skin soft and supple while not allowing too much chemical input.

  2. Infant stage- Introducing frequent baths:

    As your baby enters the infancy stage, their skin now strengthens and acclimatizes to the new environment, but it still is very sensitive. On reaching this age, if they enjoy playing in a lot of water, you start to bathe them often.


    At this very crucial stage products like The Indimums' baby body wash become of utmost importance as they use plant-based ingredients with no harmful chemicals. It is safe for delicate babies, perfect to be used on your little one every day or every other day, maintaining that smooth skin feeling and not harming the baby with harmful exposure during bathing. Natural and tear-free is its promise of both of you a secure bath time.

     

  3. Stage for Toddler: Ingredients of Moisturizing Ends: Around that time, or soon after, your baby becomes a toddler, whose skin can absorb a little more, but at that stage still requires so much care to remain healthy and moist. Toddlers are typically always on the move, checking out various places and subjected to countless interfaces with numerous environments, which can easily lead to a collection of dirt and sweat. At this stage, a toxin-free moisturizer is required which can protect the toddler's skin with immense care.

Tips for a Bath Time Routine

It doesn't have to be painful to change the bath routine of your baby from time to time as they grow. Here are some tips for ensuring a smooth experience for both you and your little one:

Temperature Check: Always ensure that the water is lukewarm. Hot water will strip away these natural oils, drying up the skin and making it itchy.

Soft Cloth: The most perfect tool for newborns and babies is a soft sponge. It helps the cleaning process without rough friction against the skin.

Pat Dry: When getting off the baby bathtub, pat the baby with a soft towel.


Apply Moisturizing Cream: With their bodies still slightly wet from water, apply moisturizing creams that are suitable for your baby to trap more moisture and smooth up his skin.
