CARE FOR BABY'S SKIN!
WHY THE BABY'S SKIN NEED TO BE PROTECTED?

In infants the sebaceous glands are not yet active. Protective film on the skin is missing (hence the pleasant smell of babies), so the skin loses moisture and dries quickly.
The skin of babies is very thin , and from additional exposure to ointments and creams, may enter through it into the body. Therefore it is not recommended to use(in hot weather) sunscreen in the first year of life. Without such creams is very easy to do, if you stay mainly in the shade and wear thin shirts with long sleeves.
The sweat glands is also not yet functioning. Only on the 3rd year of life the child's body is able to adjust the temperature, so cooling by sweating, the body crumbs is not capable of.
It is necessary to watch that the child does not get too cold and doesn't overheat. As often as possible to check the temperature and give plenty of drinking.

Young children have no protective layer on the skin which protects skin from the harmful effects of the environment, fungi and bacteria. The skin of newborns contains " Neutral acid molochnoy balance." After about 6 weeks, the acidity will increase and the skin becomes resistant to external influences.
The skin of babies is very permeable, in particular for bleaching or coloring tools from clothes. Clothing made from natural materials are absolutely harmless and safe. So use things for the baby, made from natural fibers. To wash the clothes your baby needs one or two times before you start to use.
