Dermatologist's Best Baby Skincare Products: Tips for Cradle Cap, Diaper Rash, Bathing, & More!

Do you recommend any baby powders?

Hi Dr Ellis, my son has been battling eczema since he was a month old. We used so many fragrance free products but all to no avail. I noticed if I stopped bathing him with soap for a while the eczema clears off but leaving him 2 tones darker. What would you suggest I do?

Hello Doctor! Child farm products are good for newborn?

Can make a video about the baby product you recommend and maybe toys would be nice to see what u think is the best

I Like cerave

What are your thoughts about BEB organic skin care products for newborns? Not sure if baby oil, baby moisturizer and soothing serum is necessary for my 2 week old.

But ,i like when babies actually smell like something .

Cerave is giving dark knuckles to my 2years old.i have stopped using it, and it is all gone.

Is it ok to use vaseline on eczema

My baby has some ringworm type of rashes .which r growing bigger even when hevdoesnt scratch it ....consult a lot of dermatoligist . Used steroids which didnt make it go away even fir a single day .....made it worst ..used antifungal cream for about a month ....no eeffects ....its dignosed as eczema by 2 of the dermatologist....pls suggest if its something else

Hello Doctor! Do you recommend for an 18mo baby to wear sunblock everyday if we are just at home?

YES to delaying their first bath! Yes to “Less is more!”
CeraVe baby wash has worked for us on an “as need” basis!

My daughter is now 9 months and never had a bad diaper rash! We’ve used WaterWipes since birth. They are a gentle formulation but the actual wipe packing is frustrating for me (vs Honest Baby wipe packaging which doesn’t pull 10 wipes out at a time). We pat her dry after wiping with a tissue or small rag and apply A&D ointment as prevention 85% of the time! She has never had a diaper rash!
We also loved Coterie but have switched mostly to Pampers and love Pampers as well!

Are parents supposed to put sunscreen on their babies’ faces and hands? Babies are constantly sticking their hands in their mouths and can get sunscreen smeared into their eyes.

thank you!

Yes, I would appreciate seeing your travel makeup & application

how do you remove the mineral sunscreen at the end of the day? gentle washing won't cut it

is there a difference between baby shampoo only vs baby shampoo + wash all in one? I wanted a specific product just to wash my baby's hair

For cradle cap, I had a lot of success in using my conditioner to loosen the scales and then regular baby shampoo to gently wash everything off. I've been using the Herbal Essence Hello Hydration set for years and since the fragrance didn't bother my baby's skin, it worked perfectly! Conditioner and then baby shampoo cleared it up most of the way in two baths and it was completely gone by the third.

great video, thank you! question about sunscreens: how best/easiest to remove them from baby’s face at the end of the day?

Thanks for all the informations. I have a question should we change a baby diapper during the night? My baby sleeps 10-12 hours should i change her diapper? And one more what do you think of Bepanthen is ok to use it as a barrier cream?

I’d LOVE a little kids video and when to switch from the all in one wash. Mine are 3 and almost 5, so far it’s still meeting their needs but I’m curious on recs from there when it’s time.

Her baby is going to have the best skin growing up. 😂

Perfect timing!! I needed this information as I’m getting baby items together. Thank you!!

Love your videos! What kind of tree is behind you in your videos, it’s beautiful?

Theo is the cutest!! 😍 Giving me baby fever 😬

Pls share best /suitable skin products for kids 6-12 yrs old..and for teens thanks

Any advice for the skincare of kids 6 yrs old and up?

I used Cetaphil to wash my babies until their first birthday. Perfumes in baby products were too harsh.

Excellent video!

I wash my baby’s bottom in the sink after each dirty diaper. I think wipes are what lead to most of the diaper rashes!

Yesss! Thank you 😊

so helpful!

Weleda’s baby line is a must in our household for diaper rash, and the eczema cream 😊

Thank you so much Dr Sam!!! I have been wanting to request this video! My baby usually has redness on his cheeks and chin. I’m constantly dabbing his face down from his saliva. And I put on La roche posay eczema on his face every time I change his diaper.

Thank you for this! Already a huge fan of your videos so to have you also talking about baby you are the best!

I’m not a mom, i’m not planning on having a baby anytime soon. I’m here for random info and of course Theo images!!😍😍😍😍

This is perfect, I have a 5 week old and noticed she had red bumps from the Aveno baby the lavander lotion so I bought cerave, hope it works

I think it may be worth mentioning that the diapers themselves can cause rashes as well. Both of my babies ended up with terrible rashes only with certain brands of diapers and no rashes otherwise. It wasn't even the same brands for each of them and figuring that out is not fun! So if the baby has a rash that just isn't going away, the diaper might be why.

Hi Dr. Ellis, can you please tell me how to wash sunscreen from a toddler skin?
Thanks in advance
