Thank you for query.If your baby is having dry skin you have to follow these:
You can continue with J and J products.Please do not rub the skin.use soft towels to wipe and just tap skin gently after bath.You can apply moisturising creams like cetraben or efaderm immediately after bath liberally especially in dry areas.You can apply twice or thrice daily if need be .see that baby does not get exposed to dust or dirt.If nay rashes do develop you can use mild topical steroids like hydrocortisone .do not use powders , it may exacerbate it.You can get back for any clarifications with details and photos.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist and Venereologist.
