    An internet user’s question: Do children need to take a bath every evening? Should I wash their hair every time?

    As long as your baby or child doesn’t have dry skin and hasn’t inherited any tendency to develop allergies, it is OK to give him a bath every night. You don’t have to wash his hair every day if he hasn’t gotten sweaty.
    However, if he is prone to allergies, bathing him once every other night is enough (in order to protect the delicate skin barrier).

    An internet user’s question: Should I moisturise my baby’s skin after a bath? Is a cold cream soap enough?

    If your baby has dry skin, you should apply a moisturising cream after a bath, or occasionally put baby oil in the bath. Even if your child doesn’t have dry skin, applying a moisturising cream after a bath can create a special time for you to bond with your baby.
