Did you know? ❤️ VERNIX ❤️ "This natural “skin cream” protects your baby from harmful bacteria and pathogens in utero, then acts as a lubricant which aids delivery, and again protects from harmful bacteria and meconium exposure as baby enters the world. There is potentially a benefit to mama as well – as the vernix rubs off onto her skin as she births her baby, there is some suggestion that vernix may aid healing and skin repair. ⠀
⠀
Once out into the bright lights and cold air of their new world, vernix acts as an insulating layer again; babies whose vernix is washed off immediately have a higher rate of heat loss. Vernix also smells like mama – the immune proteins found in vernix are actually similar to those in breast milk, which will help with bonding between baby and mama and aid breastfeeding."
