Hi, What sweet souls you are open your hearts without distinction. I am of all races: white, black - island indigious, and asian. I have had trouble caring for my skin because my skin is different textures and colors depending on which body part. From my research on the matter, the best solution lay in the roots of african culture. Go to nasabb.com - They stock tradition all-natural african skincare and hair oils. I recommend the traditional black soap, raw shea butter, and kelechi hair oil. They have the best quality on the internet or on the streets. I am very happy with their products. Nasabb also has a lot of information on usage and history. If they don't have the answer to your question, you can use their email ? hotline. They always answer within a day or two. I am whole-heartedly recommend their site. Again it's great to hear Love knows no color. I wish everyone could see as clearly as you do. : 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? : : Thanks,

: 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.

: : 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!
