This week’s blog has been influenced by a lovely young mommy left upset and confused by her little ones inflamed and sensitive skin and navigating the conflicting advice she has received

As a parent, it's natural to be concerned when your baby experiences skin problems. Baby skin is delicate and sensitive, making it prone to various issues like acne, eczema, and dryness. Fortunately, organic products can help soothe and protect your baby's skin while also providing benefits for moms. In this blog, we'll explore common skin problems in babies and how Kyte Baby Organic Bamboo sleepsuits/ babygrows, and sleep bags, along with Batch#001 organic baby oil, Stretch Mark and Scar Beeswax Balm, and Salt and Clay Facial Oil, can provide relief and support for both baby and mommy.

Common Skin Problems in Babies

1. Baby Acne

Baby acne is a common condition that affects many newborns. It usually appears as tiny red or white bumps on the baby's cheeks, forehead, and sometimes back. This condition is typically harmless and tends to resolve on its own within a few weeks. However, keeping your baby's skin clean and avoiding harsh chemicals can help prevent irritation.

2. Eczema

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is another common skin condition in babies. It causes red, itchy, and inflamed patches of skin, often appearing on the face, scalp, and body. Eczema can be triggered by various factors, including dry skin, allergens, and irritants. Keeping the skin moisturised and avoiding irritants is key to managing eczema in babies.

3. Dry Skin

Babies are also prone to dry skin, especially during the colder months or in dry climates. Dry skin can lead to discomfort, itching, and even cracking. Using gentle, moisturising products can help keep your baby's skin soft and hydrated.

Get your baby on a sleep routine. We all sleep better with good sleep hygiene. Just like dimming the lights, zipping your littles into their sleep bags lets them know it’s time to go to sleep. Melatonin, activate. Regulate your body temperature Regulate your body temperature Bamboo is breathable and 3º cooler than its cotton counterpart.

Batch#001 Organic Baby Oil: A Natural Solution for Baby's Skin

Batch#001 Organic Baby Oil is a must-have for any parent looking to care for their baby's delicate skin. This all-natural oil is perfect for moisturizing and soothing dry skin, preventing and treating baby acne, and calming eczema flare-ups.  Here is what the founder of Batch #001 has to say:-

“MY INSPIRATION

I was inspired by my eczema prone daughters to create our range of completely natural and organic products they could use to soothe and repair their inflamed and irritated skin.

Just a few days after my first baby was born, she started developing red patches over her skin.  This was dismissed by doctors as “normal” but just 12 weeks after she was born, she had full body eczema.

Finally, we got a diagnosis of severe eczema and allergies and were put on a treatment plan, which included moisturising her bone-dry skin up to 10 times a day.  However, none of the moisturisers I was prescribed helped – in fact lots of them seemed to make her skin worse, and would cause her delicate baby skin to flare up, sometimes resulting in blisters.

When I looked at the ingredient’s labels, the moisturisers had so many preservatives, sulphates and parabens in them – surely this wasn’t good for her sensitive skin?

I looked for a completely natural moisturiser, to help ease their skin flare-ups, but couldn’t find anything that worked, so decided to create my own product for them – and our (now award-winning) Organic Beeswax Balms were born. They go on to share Top Tips for Eczema on their website “

1. Hydration for Dry Skin

The organic baby oil is formulated to lock in moisture, keeping your baby's skin hydrated and soft. It's perfect for daily use after bath time or whenever your baby's skin needs a little extra care.
