Natural Home Remedies for Skin: for Pregnancy and Baby

How can baby skin be treated gently and effectively?  

As with adults, there are many natural treatments you can try to soothe your baby’s irritated skin.

Coconut oil comes to the rescue again to treat eczema and other rashes on your baby’s skin, with its antibacterial and moisturising properties.

An oatmeal bath can also help moisturise and soothe your baby’s skin, helping to treat skin rashes like eczema and nappy rash with its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-itch properties.

Other natural options include using a cold compress or applying a few drops of breastmilk to the affected area.

To treat cradle cap, you can gently brush your baby’s scalp with a soft-bristled brush. This will remove some of the flakes and can improve overall scalp health, as well as being relaxing for baby. You can also hydrate the scalp with a pure plant oil like coconut, jojoba or almond oil, massaging the oil into the scalp, leaving it for 15 minutes, and then washing it out with a gentle baby shampoo.
