In this episode of the After Hours Skin Clinic , consultant dermatologists Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid explore what makes baby skin so different from adult skin, and why understanding those differences is essential for keeping little ones healthy and comfortable. They cover everything parents need to know, from common baby skin conditions like eczema, allergies, and cradle cap, to how to protect your baby’s skin barrier and choose the best sunscreen for infants. You’ll also learn expert tips on bathing routines, skin hydration, and sun safety . Whether you're a new parent, expecting, or simply interested in dermatology, this episode is your evidence-based guide to baby skin care from two of the UK's skin experts. Have any questions?
