Does a 1-month-old baby have dry skin?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
Dry skin is quite common in 1-month-old babies. The main reason is that your baby's skin is not yet fully mature and the natural moisture barrier is not yet strong enough.
General recommendations:
- Limit bath time to 5-10 minutes and use warm, not hot, water.
- Right after bathing, while the skin is still moist, apply a fragrance-free moisturizer suitable for babies (baby lotion or cream).
- Keep the environment from being too hot and dry; if needed, use a humidifier.
- Prefer soft, cotton clothing.
If dryness is very pronounced, with flaking or cracking, or if redness is present, I recommend consulting a pediatrician.
