What role do environmental factors play in neonatal skin care?
Environmental factors such as dry air, extreme temperatures, and exposure to irritants can significantly impact a neonate's skin health. Using a humidifier in the baby's room can help maintain optimal humidity levels and prevent the skin from drying out. Additionally, avoiding harsh soaps, detergents, and fabrics can reduce the risk of skin irritation. Always dress your baby in soft, breathable clothing to minimize friction and discomfort.
