Hello lybrate-user, For soap problem you can try Derma Dew and a cream called Atogala. For weight gain, try giving them milk and milk products. If they do not like having milk in ordinary way, try giving them it as kheer (rice kheer with cashews and raisins in it, suji halwa, custard). No worries, you can give these sweet dishes on daily basis, suppose when they come back from school in the evening. If you are vegetarian, then try making a habit to them to have eggs one day after other. Its best if you can give them fish every day. Lean chicken twice a week, etc. And also one apple and a banana everyday. I hope these will be helpful to you. Thank you. Have a nice day!

Hi lybrate-user, babies skin are very sensitive. But no matter how well you are getting time for yourself, you will always put your baby first. Even when you are thinking of ways to get a fairer and glowing skin, you will want to look for ways to get your baby?s skin fairer and softer! Here are a few home remedies for you: 1. Nice & Warm Oil Massage - You must have been told by your mother or grandmother a hundred times that massaging your newborn with a hot oil is good for his bones and muscles to get them stronger. But what they didn?t tell you is that the hot oil massage also improves the complexion of your baby. It adds another protective layer of moisture on their skin and this results in mild pinkish glow and blossom. 2. Using An Optimum Water Temperature For Bathing - As much as it essential for the adults to take care of the water temperature they are bathing with, it is even more important that you keep an optimum water temperature for your baby?s bath. Otherwise, too hot or cold water will dry out your young one?s sensitive skin and make it appear dull and dark. 3. Soft Baby Scrub - Don?t worry, we won?t ask you to use your everyday scrub on your delicate baby. Instead, you can prepare a baby scrub using baby oil, chickpea flour, milk, rose water, and an evenly grounded gram pulse. Gently scrub away the impurities and this will also improve the blood circulation in your baby?s body, that will lead to a fairer complexion ultimately. 4. Mild Baby Friendly Body Pack - Your young one?s body is totally new to the environmental factors, with more sensitive skin than any adult. Fostering the little one?s skin with a mild body pack will nurture their skin and give them an evenly fair skin tone. Mix sandalwood, milk, saffron and turmeric to make a smooth paste and apply it on your baby?s body. Leave it on for 10 minutes and wash off with lukewarm water. This will not only make him fairer but will also protect him from various skin infections. Do this once in a week. 5. Complete Moisturization - The most important and essential step in the baby skin care routine is the moisturization. You can apply a good and mild baby skin-friendly moisturizer once a day. 6. Give A Regulated Sunbath - We understand that protecting your little one from the harsh rays of the sun is essential, but some natural vitamin D is necessary for the skin to stay bright and healthy as well. Use a pram or shed to protect your baby from the impact of direct sunlight. 7. Fresh Fruit Juices - Fruit juices are a great option for babies above 3 months. Feeding your baby a fresh juice of grapes will help increase the sheen of the epidermis and fruits like oranges & apples will improve your baby?s overall health. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
