In our seventh episode of our special series with sensitive skin expert Cetaphil, we have Dr. Nihar Parekh, an experienced Paediatrician (MBBS, DCH, MD USAIM), sharing practical, science-backed advice on newborn and child skin health. He explains why every baby’s skin is different, the most common infections in India, and why practices like over-covering babies can cause more harm than good. From eczema to fungal infections, he breaks down prevention, treatment, and what parents often misunderstand.
We discuss daily care basics like moisturising, safe ingredients, bathing routines, and why fragrance and alcohol should be avoided in baby products. Dr. Parekh talks about skin differences in C-section vs normal delivery babies, the importance of birth weight, and how seasonal factors and clothing choices impact skin health. He also addresses diaper use, drool rashes, neonatal acne, and why some babies have body odour. There’s guidance on breastfeeding, maternal diet, and how a mother’s physical and mental health directly influences the baby.
In the final segment, he shares the role of immunity in children born during COVID, when birthmarks need treatment, and why cotton clothing is the safest choice. He also explains common mistakes like letting a baby air dry after a bath, how infections can start, and the link between nutrition and brain development.
