The importance of baby skin care cannot be overestimated. The living, breathing skin is the largest organ in the body. Sensitive to touch, heat, cold and pain, it responds to stress and reflects bodily conditions. It protects the body from injury and bacterial/parasitic invasion and as an organ of excretion it plays a role in moderation of temperature and prevention of dehydration.
