The cold days of the year are finally settling in. While you may not have started wearing full sleeve clothes, ensure you keep your babies warm and protected. Considering babies skin is extremely fragile and delicate, extra care is needed to ensure they stay healthier and comfortable throughout the cold season. As the temperature drops, the air becomes dry, making your little one’s skin more prone to dryness, itchiness, and irritation. This often leads babies to scratch their face, arms, or body, sometimes leaving tiny marks or redness on their soft skin.
