New parents often worry their baby isn't "clean enough," leading to over-bathing that strips delicate newborn skin of natural protection. The truth? Newborns need just 2-3 baths per week – daily baths dry out their skin barrier, increasing eczema risk and irritation. Vaasna Care's NYURA Baby Bathing Soap makes these gentle baths nourishing instead of stripping, supporting your baby's skin health from day one.
Why Newborns Don't Need Daily Baths (Science + Ayurveda)
Newborn skin is different:
-
Thinner barrier (30% less protective than adult skin)
-
Higher pH (more alkaline, needs time to mature)
-
Natural vernix provides antibacterial protection for weeks
Over-bathing risks:
-
Removes protective oils → dry, flaky skin
-
Disrupts microbiome → higher infection risk
-
Triggers eczema in 20% of over-bathed babies
Ayurvedic wisdom aligns perfectly: Baby skin thrives with minimal intervention. PRAKRTA Baby Bathing Soap uses gentle, plant-based cleansing that preserves natural moisture while keeping baby fresh.
