Tip Sheet



Neck/bum/most anywhere: Dab on some (pure) corn flour. This avoids the chemicals in commercial powders/creams and keeps the area dry like a charm. This is one of those old wives' remedies that works and is not harmful.

If baby has dry skin patches => white dry skin is normal, but red, scaly dry skin may be eczema...shorten baths, turn down the heat, moisturize straight after a bath to trap moisture. Try chemical-free Billie Goat moisturizer: www.billiegoatsoap.com.au/
