You must try to keep your baby's skin pH between 4 to 6, this will ensure that the acid mantel is surly supported. You should not use any products that contain animal products or have any by-products in them. It is also a good idea to not use any fragrance because this can irritate the baby's skin. You should be certain that any product that you are considering has been tested and is approved by a peadration and a dermatologist. There are some products that are out there that try to go overy this recommendation by saying that they are hypoallergenic and recommended.
