Shampoo,Lotions, Creams,Ointments
Wash your baby's hair once or twice weekly with a special baby shampoo that doesn't sting the eyes
Don't be concerned about hurting the anterior fontanel (soft spot). It is well protected
Newborn skin normally does not require any ointments or creams. Especially avoid the application of any oil, ointment, or greasy substance, since this will almost always block the small sweat glands and lead to pimples or a heat rash. If the skin starts to become dry and cracked, use a baby lotion, hand lotion, or moisturizing cream twice daily. Cornstarch powder can be helpful for preventing rashes in areas of friction. Avoid talcum powder because it can cause a serious chemical pneumonia if inhaled into the lungs
