Chilling wind, full sleeves clothes out from the wardrobe. Yes, because winter has arrived. 

In the winter season we need to look after extra care for babies especially in case of new born. As they are so young for cool weather, their skin is also very sensitive and soft and that’s the reason that every new mother needs to know about. In this season our skin becomes dry, but babies' skin is more sensitive than adults, so we need extra care for them.

Winter’s air is more dry and cold, and for our tiny tots it could be harmful as well. As far as winter care is concerned, we all mothers need to take care of them more these days.

I am sharing some tips, hopefully it will help all the new mommies.
