4. Skincare in autumn: Healthy and protected baby skin
- Care for your baby's delicate skin with rich moisturizers to avoid dryness and irritation in autumn.
- Recommendation: Use moisturizing lotions or creams that are specifically formulated for babies.
- Apply the lotion or cream after bathing and as needed to keep skin supple.
5. Waterproof footwear - Dry feet, happy baby
- Protect your baby's feet from wetness and cold with suitable footwear.
- Recommendation: Choose waterproof shoes or boots made from breathable materials.
- Make sure they fit well and don't forget to check your shoes regularly for moisture.
6. Indoor activities in bad weather
