It's funny how things happen. I recently had my third child - a baby girl named Clara, just 4 weeks ago today. My boys are now ages 5 and 3, so with Clara I'm back in the newborn stage - constant feeding, sleeping and pooping. It's amazing how we can forget how needy babies are at this stage, even if we've done it before! So what I've discovered during this stage is my renewed passion for SAFE baby skin care. When I look at Clara's fragile infant skin I realize how easily it can be irritated. Heat, cold, water, thrush and moisture can all cause rashes and irritations. Since Clara was born in the winter, we're dealing with a cold and dry climate, and I have been protecting her skin religiously with Olive Baby products. We bath with the Head to Toe Body Wash and I'm loving how gentle and non-drying it is on her skin, and that she smells like 'herself', not like a perfumed baby soap after her bath. While she's warm and moist after her bath I rub Olive Baby Body Butter all over her body, with a special focus on the diaper area which is exposed to constant moisture. Her skin looks great and she has not had any diaper rashes (knock on wood!). I like that I can put it on her face, even on her eyelids because there's nothing in the product that could irritate her. She really seems to enjoy the process of the massage as well - it relaxes her and helps with any digestive troubles like gassiness. I've had people comment about how lovely she smells and how soft her skin is. I'm pleased to say that she doesn't smell like anything other than the sweet smell of honey from the beeswax in the Olive Baby products. Anyway, being back at this stage has motivated me to continue making and expanding the Olive Baby line into the future! I'm excited to reach as many moms as I can to share this natural approach to baby skin care!
