My kids are biracial. I'm white. I'm not sure what you mean about how to take care of the baby's skin. You should do what you would normally do on a baby's skin of any race. Use a hypoallergenic lotion/moisturize, use a moisturizing soap such as Dove sensitive skin. Aquaphor is good for diaper rash or excema.

Does the baby have a skin condition?

Good luck w/your newborn and know that people such as yourself and your wife are godsends to our world. Where are you from?

: Does anyone know good online resources for the care of african american babies, specifically skin care??
: We just adopted a newborn boy and will be taking him in to see a dermatologist. Since his skin issues will be different from ours (we're white) I was looking for a primer on the subject or something... All the baby books describe conditions in a 'white' context, things never look 'pink' on him!
