The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of a new born is the characteristic smell of a baby and their soft skin. Their skin goes through a lot of change after birth and to keep their soft and flawless skin may cause a great deal of stress on mothers or caregivers of babies. It is not uncommon for babies to develop some form of rash or skin irritation during this time of change. The skin is the largest organ of the body and takes 24 months to fully develop (Dove, 2019: Online).
