<human>: I'm a new parent and I'm not sure how to care for my baby's skin. What should I do?

This will help keep the germs away from your baby's skin. 2 Make sure you are using clean, soft towels or washcloths when bathing your baby.3 Apply gentle, moisturizing lotions or creams to help keep your baby's skin hydrated.4 Avoid exposing your baby to harsh chemicals such as soaps, shampoos, and bubble baths.5 Use cotton swabs instead of cotton balls when applying ointments or creams.6 Wash your baby's bedding often in hot water to kill any potential bacteria that may be present.7 If possible, try to avoid air conditioning and heating systems that can dry out your baby's skin.8 Lastly, make sure to follow up with a pediatrician if you notice any unusual rashes, redness, or irritation on your baby's skin.
