FAQs
What baby skincare products do UK health visitors recommend?
Fragrance-free, pH-neutral products. Plain water is best for newborns. From 4–6 weeks, a gentle baby wash like Weleda or Childs Farm is suitable.
How often should I bath a newborn?
2–3 times a week is enough. Daily bathing can dry out baby skin. Top-and-tail washing on other days keeps baby clean.
What moisturiser is best for baby eczema in the UK?
Childs Farm moisturiser and Aveeno Baby are both widely recommended by UK GPs and health visitors for eczema-prone baby skin.
