2. Moisturizer
Baby’s skin is easily dry and irritated, either because the weather is too hot, too long in an air-conditioned room and other factors. For that, it is important for parents to prepare a humidifier for babies.
“Actually, this moisturizer shouldn’t be used too often. If it’s wet and damp, it’s at risk of prickly heat. So only use it as needed, after taking a shower,” said the doctor who is also an influencer.
3. Anti-rash cream
Babies are never separated from diapers, be it cloth diapers or disposable diapers. The dirt in it can make the skin moist, which can cause a rash like redness on the baby’s buttocks or genitals.
“Choose those containing vitamin D or vitamin A, which can be applied after changing the baby’s diaper,” he added.
4. Baby oil
We are all familiar with baby oil. Doctor Jeffry said its usefulness, apart from being an oil, baby oil can absorb excess sweat and make baby’s skin more moist.

“In connection with this, if you don’t like using moisturizing cream, you can use baby oil on your baby. Besides moisturizing, you can also massage the baby. Baby oil can prevent babies from appearing rashes, redness, on their skin,” he said.
5. Telon oil
Telon oil, in addition to making the baby warmer, can also prevent the baby from being bitten by mosquitoes. The use of telon oil can be an alternative so that you can avoid insect bites.
“Telon oil also works to relieve baby’s breath, where most newborns often sound like there is mucus in their airways,” he explained.
Actually, he continued, this happens because the baby’s breath fluid is still too small, so when you have a cold, cold or allergies, you will hear more because there will be more mucus. Telon oil, can make the sound of grok-grok less.
“Especially telon oil should be chosen with several considerations, the first is of course from the smell, the level of warmth, there is too much heat that makes the baby uncomfortable,” he advised.
