About our Sponsor GAIA Skin Naturals:

When a baby is born, their acid mantle, or barrier function is not fully developed yet & Their skin is 30% thinner than adult skin. Therefore it's important to use specialised, gentle skincare product such as GAIA. Water is not enough to effectively cleanse a buildup of dirt and bacteria that’s caused by faeces, urine, food and everyday living. Babies are commonly exposed to the dehumidifying effects of climate-controlled environments and changes in the weather, which can quickly result in dry skin. Thankfully GAIA have a range of products to help your little one through everyday life such as their Cradle Cap lotion, Baby washes & Soothing Cream.
