Baby’s Sensitive Skin
Your baby's (full-term) skin is very similar to your adult skin. However, it has some specific characteristics you need to know about, as these affect the care you should provide. Watch our pediatrician's advice in the video!
At birth, it may be covered with a greasy, white, yellowish coating, which is more pronounced if your baby is premature. This is the vernix caseosa, mainly present in the folds, which protects the skin. It disappears quickly, naturally, but also with repeated washing.
