It's a typical night at home, and you catch an unexpected whiff of body odor in the air. First, you give your own pits a sniff check. Phew. Not me. Then, you look around for the culprit. Sitting innocently on the other side of the room is you dear, sweet child.  But no, it can't be them?! There comes a time for every parent when your adorable little baby no longer smells like rainbows and rose petals. No, your "little" baby is now a sweaty, stinky mess after play time at the park. Did you know B.O. can pop up as early as eight years old? Read on for more facts about body odor and kids, plus tips on how to tackle it.

Over the past 3 years we’ve learned a lot about what makes or breaks a trip with an infant. We’ve also learned that traveling with one baby is very different than traveling with two (shocking, I know). Let’s just say, I’ve gained a huge respect for those brave families that travel with 3 or 4 little ones. To you, I tip my hat. Last week, I received a message from a nervous mother about to take her infant on a flight for the very first time. I vividly remember feeling the same anxiety before our first few trips with Braydon (our first born). In preparation for her trip, she asked me to share my most useful baby travel tips . I sent her the link to our other blog Tips for Baby Travel  and later realized we haven’t written a detailed “ baby travel tips ” article on this site. We get asked this question quite often, so I thought it was about time we wrote a post dedicated to baby travel. We’ ve intentionally limited the amount of baby posts we publish on this site because we know a lot o...

MORE: 9 Bad Habits That Make Your Winter Skin So Much Worse Bolster Your Barrier The skin on the hands acts like a barrier to keep moisture in, says Monica Halem, MD. If this barrier is disrupted by extreme weather conditions , sun exposure, dry air, or certain disease processes, the result can be very dry, itchy, red, cracked, and sore hands. To combat this, reestablish the skin barrier on your hands. “The skin barrier is made of three key elements—ceremide, cholesterol, and triglyceride,” Halem says. There are several creams and lotions on the market that contain all three ingredients; check the label to make sure all three are listed. “And keep in mind that a cream (oil-water mix) is much richer than a lotion (water-oil mix), and better to use for dry hands,” she says. Don't Go Near The Water Although you were probably taught to wash your hands often throughout the day, if you have chapped hands, water is not your friend. In fact, water is the worst influence for chapped hands....

Also known as Xerodermia, Xeroderma is defined as a condition involving the integumentary system, which in most cases can be treated with emollients or moisturizers.

It may occur at all ages and in people with or without other forms of skin issues.

In more advanced instances, fish net like cracks resembling the fine fracture lines of cracked porcelain may occur. Dry skin happens most commonly on a person's legs and arms, although it may also aff...

When I was pregnant, hopeful, and excited to do all the parenting things, I had so many plans. My daughter was the first grandchild on both sides, and after the initial shock of the pregnancy wore off I had plenty of volunteers to plan along with me. With my second, however, the planning was all on me. Looking back, there's definitely some bad decisions I made when planning my baby shower — things I wish I could go back and do over. I assumed things would be similar the second time around but, well, I was wrong. Pregnancy with my youngest was something my partner and I planned and hoped for, and not just for a few months but for a few years. When I was finally pregnant, though, the only two people who seems to be considerably excited were my partner and I. We decided we'd still have a baby shower, though. It had been almost five years since we had our daughter, and we were preparing for a boy this time around so we wanted to facilitate an opportunity for people to give us ...

Quick Hair Tips Alexandra Grablewski Whether it's thin, thick, curly, or practically nonexistent, parents love to run their fingers through their baby's hair just for the pure pleasure of it. And seeing it sticking up in the morning or slick and wet in the bath is one of those wonderful little joys of parenthood. In fact, many moms put off baby's first haircut for as long as possible, because seeing those wispy little curls fall to the floor is often the first sign that babyhood is coming to an end. But eventually (like when your baby can't see through the hair in his eyes!) some locks have to go. And beyond haircuts, there's more to baby hair care -- even if your baby hardly has any. If your baby has no hair... Care tip: Shampoo twice a week to avoid cradle cap -- oily, flaky patches of skin on the scalp. Styling tip: Hats are a must to protect baby's head from the sun -- and a bonnet or baseball cap can help strangers tell a girl from a boy. If your bab...

Alpha keri bath oil contains liquid paraffin (also known as mineral oil) and lanolin oil. It works by providing a layer of oil on the surface of the skin to prevent water evaporating from the skin surface. The oil also contains oxybenzone, perfume and PEG-4-dilaurate (polyethylene dilaurate). MOST POPULAR 10 November 2009 What is it used for? Dry, itchy skin conditions How does it work? Alpha keri bath oil contains liquid paraffin (also known as mineral oil) and lanolin oil. It works by providing a layer of oil on the surface of the skin to prevent water evaporating from the skin surface. The oil also contains oxybenzone, perfume and PEG-4-dilaurate (polyethylene dilaurate). Dry skin results from lack of water in the outer layer of skin cells known as the stratum corneum. When this layer becomes dehydrated it loses its flexibility and becomes cracked, scaly and sometimes itchy. The stratum corneum contains natural water-holding substances that retain water seeping up from the dee...
