How should I care for my baby girl's genitals?

Your baby girl’s genitals are very delicate, so clean this area carefully. Many parents wash the nappy area with just water and cotton wool for the first couple of weeks. You can add a little mild, liquid baby cleanser to the water you're using to wipe. There are specially designed cleansers for babies that will help to protect your baby's natural skin barrier. You can check if the product is safe by testing it on a small area of her skin first. When changing your daughter’s nappy, always wipe the area from front to back, away from her vagina and urethra (the opening through which she does a wee). This will prevent bacteria transferring from your baby's bottom to her vagina or urethra, and causing an infection. http://www.babycentre.co.uk/x1053619/how-should-i-care-for-my-baby-girls-genitals
