Question
A five-month-old baby has had dry and red cheeks for two weeks without improvement, and asks whether it is appropriate to use “Johnson’s Baby Multi-Effect Moisturizing Lotion.”
Answer
It is recommended not to use Johnson’s Baby Multi-Effect Moisturizing Lotion during the summer. For babies, Vaseline is a good option as it is highly waterproof and has a mild scent, suitable for baby skin. However, it is important to use Vaseline products specifically designed for babies. In winter, Vaseline can be used to protect and moisturize the baby’s skin. Additionally, Vaseline and diaper rash cream can be applied before using a diaper to prevent redness and isolate bacteria. When using Vaseline, it should be evenly spread on your hands before being gently applied to the baby’s skin, or slightly diluted with warm water for use.
