Baby’s sensitive skin

Baby’s skin plays a double role :
-First, a relational role since from birth, it is through skin-to-skin contact that baby gets acquainted with the world around him. Before he can see this world, he feels it through his skin.
-Then, a protective role since the skin prevents excessive water, protein, minerals and heat losses and microbes and bacterias from getting in….
It is easy to understand that the skin must be “strong and resistant” in order to fulfill its barrier function correctly, meaning in good health.

But the fact is that at birth, it is particularly soft, velvety, fine and therefore fragile, tender, vulnerable.
Even when healthy, the skin barrier is far from being an absolute barrier. As a consequence, one has to be very careful with baby’s skin, it requires all your attention and a lot of gentleness.
Its natural fragility can cause small or large concerns.

There are many enemies, you may as well be aware of them:

-A trauma (even a seemingly light one like removing a band aid ), a scratch, a burn, even superficial, can cause a small lesion that could quickly let an infection in….)
