Fix common baby problems by checking out our list of the most popular Grandmas Recipes for Baby Skin Care and Haircare – all-natural only!

It’s amazing how many products a baby needs, isn’t it? Right from the moment they’re born, babies need special products to care for their skin and hair, and the market has met this need with a bang!

While there is no dearth of choices when it comes to baby products, the unfortunate truth is that most of them aren’t exactly good for your baby. Most of these products are packed with toxic chemicals like SLS, BPA and others. 

Since a baby’s skin is 30% thinner than that of an adult they are much more susceptible to these chemicals, which can enter the bloodstream easily. That’s why it’s important to choose products made with safe, natural ingredients.

While new companies are coming up with natural alternatives to baby products, some of them can be quite expensive. But that’s not a problem – you can make them yourself! With a few basic supplies, you can easily do what our mothers and grandmothers did to treat common baby problems. 

If you’re wondering where to start, we’ve got you! Here are 20 of the most popular Grandmas recipes for baby skin care and hair care!

Popular Grandmas Recipes for Baby Skin Care

Dry Skin

1. Breast milk is one of the best natural moisturizers you can find. Simply apply a few drops on the dry patches of baby’s skin and let it dry.

2. Most Grandmas recipes for baby skin care feature coconut oil and it’s a good idea to massage baby with virgin coconut oil before her bath.

3. Apply some olive oil or petroleum jelly on the dry patches of skin before bed. 

4. If your baby has started solids, ensure they are eating enough healthy fats that nourish the skin from inside.

5. Use a homemade scrub on baby’s skin. Combine honey, olive oil, aloe vera gel and chickpea flour and apply all over skin before a bath. 

6. Always use lukewarm water when bathing baby since hot water can dry out the skin. Pat dry with a soft towel – never rub. 

7. Always moisturize after a bath. You can make your own moisturizer using the following recipe: Whip 3/4 cup melted coconut oil with 1/4 cup melted shea butter. If you want, add a few drops of essential oil and whip again. Store in a dry jar.

Eczema

8. When it comes to eczema, one of the most popular Grandmas recipes for baby skin care is an oatmeal bath. Grind oatmeal into a fine powder and add it to a tub of warm water. Let the baby sit in the bath for about 10 minutes and soak in the oatmeal. Pat dry and apply a moisturizer afterward.

9. Make your own homemade eczema cream to apply on the affected area. Melt together 1/3 cup coconut oil and 1/2 cup almond oil with 2 tablespoons shea butter. Add in a teaspoon each of Vitamin E and ground oatmeal. Mix and store in a glass jar for up to 6 months.

Diaper Rash

10. Cloth diapers made of soft, hypoallergenic fabrics are the best way to keep baby’s skin healthy and free from rashes.

11. Change the diaper every 4 hours or when soiled. The purpose is to ensure that baby’s diaper area is always dry since it’s the trapped moisture that can cause a rash.

12. Apply a diaper rash cream at every diaper changing – don’t wait to see a rash to start. 

13. For best results, make your own diaper rash cream at home. Melt together 1/4 cup coconut oil, 1/4 cup shea butter and 1 tablespoon beeswax. Add in 2 tablespoons of zinc oxide powder and a tablespoon of bentonite clay. You can also add a few drops of chamomile essential oil. Store in a glass jar for up to 3 months.

Heat Rash

14. Apply fresh aloe vera gel on the rash. Peel the thick aloe leaves and scoop out the flesh. Blend and apply on the affected skin.

15. A sandalwood paste is also a good way to cool down the rash and calm irritation. Mix some sandalwood powder with water to make a paste and apply on the affected area.

Cradle Cap

16. Use a soft baby brush and gently brush the baby’s scalp to loosen the crust flakes. Move in one direction and avoid picking or scraping the flakes. This can be done on wet or dry hair.

17. Apply some coconut oil, olive oil or almond oil on the baby’s scalp, gently massaging it on the affected area – it will help loosen the flakes. Let the oil soak in for 15 minutes and then wash it out with a gentle shampoo. 

Scant Hair

18. Use a soft baby brush to brush baby’s scalp to increase blood circulation and stimulate the follicles.

19. Mix a few drops of Vitamin E with some virgin coconut oil and massage it gently into baby’s scalp for better results.

20. Always use a mild shampoo to wash baby’s hair. You can make your own at home by mixing gentle castile soap, distilled water and some almond oil. 

While these are tried and tested Grandmas recipes for baby skin care, please remember that these are not a substitute for medical care. Always consult your baby’s pediatrician before adding anything new to baby’s routine, especially if there is a family history of allergies.
