There are many skin issues a baby gets during winter time because of their delicate skin.
There are some effective methods by which babies could be protected from dry skin issue.

Skin dryness could be reduced and softness of skin could be improved by means of massaging with oils. Olive oil massage is very good for the babies as this oil soothes the baby’s skin and also improves their skin tone.
Reduction in bath time during winters:
