Kindly do not use powder for children. You can apply Cetaphil moisturizing cream 2-3 times a day and can make him wear loose cotton clothes. If any further queries kindly book an online appointment with me. Take care!

As for a young child, powders are not advised. Ensure loose cotton clothing, ample air and circulation, daily cleansing with a mild nonirritant soap, and good hydration (milk breast or formula). For any further doubts, kindly book an online consultation with me. You can check out my Instagram page @drbabymum for helpful tips ! Take care!
