Wash your baby's face with your right hand (no shower gel is needed), then wash your hair and dry it. Then start washing the trunk, limbs and buttocks. Elbow socket, armpit, neck and thigh roots should be especially clean.

The temperature of the baby bath water.

When bathing a newborn baby, novice parents must pay attention to controlling the bath water temperature. The baby's bath water temperature is generally controlled at around 37 degrees. Usually, parents feel the water temperature with their hands, but their hands are not as sensitive to the water temperature as the baby's whole body. Parents can test the water temperature with their elbows or wrists. You can also use a professional thermometer to measure the water temperature.

In the cold season, parents should always pay attention to whether the water temperature drops when bathing their baby, and do it quickly in the process of bathing. Parents should also pay attention that the water temperature is too high or too hot, which is easy to burn the baby's sensitive skin. When taking a bath, the baby's skin should not turn red. If the baby has been crying all the time during the bath, it is likely that the water temperature is too high or too low, or the baby doesn't like taking a bath.

How to give a baby a bath? 2 What should the baby pay attention to when taking a bath?

1. Baby's bath water should not be too hot. Adults are used to scalding, and babies have thin skin. Maybe adults can try the water temperature, but the baby feels hot. So don't burn the water.

2. Don't take a bath immediately after feeding, otherwise it will be easy to spit milk. It is more appropriate to take a bath after breastfeeding 1.5 hours.

3. Baby-specific bathtubs and bathbeds are essential. Newborn babies are generally afraid of taking a bath and need to rely on a bath bed (frame) to enhance their sense of security.

4. Don't use shower gel every time, because shower gel is alkaline, and it is easy to make the skin dry and itchy when used frequently, especially in northern cities. Try to choose non-alkaline bath products.

5, put the bath water, be sure to put cold water first, and then put hot water, so as not to burn the baby.

6. In the specialty store of maternal and child products, there is a water temperature agent for bathing the baby, which is plastic and can be put in water to measure the water temperature. Very useful for people who can't master the water temperature.

7. After each bath, give the baby some warm water to supplement the consumed physical strength and water.

8. For the baby who is afraid of taking a bath, putting some bath toys prepared in advance into the water and letting the baby play while washing will help the baby overcome the phobia of taking a bath.

9. Don't be too diligent in bathing in winter. In northern Guangdong, if children don't sweat much during the day, they usually go to bed after washing their buttocks, feet and face at night. Cantonese people like to take a bath, but in winter, because of the dry weather, they take a bath once a day at most, or once every other day. Each bath should be controlled for about 5 minutes, and the water temperature should be 37-40 degrees Celsius. You can't feel hot when you touch your hands, and the temperature is the best. If you use very hot bath water, it will wash the sebum that protects the skin more thoroughly and make dermatitis worse.

10. Never treat winter dermatitis as a bacterial infection. Cleaning and disinfecting the affected area with cleaning solution or alcohol will stimulate the skin to be drier.

1 1. Generally speaking, it is enough to wash your body with clean water. Some key parts such as perineum, armpit, hands, feet and face are dirty. You can choose bath products with neutral PH value, such as la roche-posay, Yayang and Shiba Inu, which are less irritating and more suitable for children.

12. After taking a shower, apply moisturizing products before the skin is completely dry, so as to lock the moisture and prevent it from evaporating. If the skin is already dry, the moisturizing effect will be greatly reduced.

13. Hang up the bath cover before taking a bath, then put the bathtub in the bath cover, pour hot water first, open the bath cover with hot air, then put cold water, and after adjusting the water temperature, you can give the child a bath.

14, after washing, it's best to dry your hair in the bath cover, put on your underwear, and then take it out with a towel.

15, the baby had better wash separately. Wash your hair first, wrap your body with a big towel, and then wash your body after washing your head to dry, so it is not easy to catch a cold.

16, the bath water temperature should not be too high, just 37-40 degrees Celsius, but the indoor temperature must be kept above 2 1 degrees Celsius. Put cold water first, then hot water for debugging. It is best to use a bath water thermometer to measure the temperature more accurately.

17. Although it is not necessary to bathe the baby every day, the mother should make sure to wash her face, hands and little ass every day. After washing the baby's trunk, don't forget to clean the nasal cavity, earwax and other details.

18, bathe the baby quickly in winter, and don't let the child soak in the water for a long time. Because the soaking time is too long, the skin is easy to dehydrate, which will aggravate the skin dryness.

19, shower gel or soap, once a week is enough. Don't bathe the child. After the cuticle is removed, the baby's skin loses protection, and it is easy to be allergic and infected.

20. Prepare everything first: bath towel, warm lamp, towel, clothes, shower gel and so on. The door should be closed, and it can't be opened or closed in the middle. The key to quick washing is never to blow, especially the strong wind, otherwise you will definitely catch a cold.

2 1, prepare 4 bottles of boiling water before taking a bath (depending on the size of the bathtub), and pour all the boiling water into the bathtub when preparing to take a bath, so that the whole bathroom will be foggy and warm. The heater should always be on.

22, first use the heater to raise the temperature of the bathroom, put the water away (hot), ready to change clothes and a big bath towel, and a small towel (dry). Wait until the temperature in the bathroom rises, then go in and wash.

23. Adults should wash first. When the shower room is hot, turn on the lamp of Yuba to warm the air, and turn it on 15-20 minutes. Put hot water in the bathtub, the temperature is slightly higher than usual, then turn off the light of Yuba, continue to keep warm with the wind, and put the baby into the water.

24. The baby is ready to take a bath half an hour after eating. You can play with her for a while before taking a shower, because her body is warmer.

25. Measure the water temperature before taking a bath, then put a heater next to the baby's bathtub to increase the temperature of the surrounding environment, then quickly take off the baby's clothes, help the baby clean up, and then put on the clothes later. Before you get dressed, put your clothes next to the heater to warm up.

26. The bath water can't be washed from beginning to end. It's no trouble to keep heating the water halfway. In winter, water cools quickly. At first, the baby will be scalded by too hot water. But if the water temperature is just right at first, the water will be cold halfway through washing. Only by adding hot water twice in the middle can the baby bath water be kept warm.

27. Choose a suitable bath time, preferably between noon 12: 00 and 15: 00, which is the warmest time of the day.

28. It is best to take a bath with clean water. When necessary, adult shampoo and shower gel should not be used. Even baby-specific bath products are not absolutely safe and non-irritating, so the dosage should be less than how much, and it should not be directly applied to the baby or small towels. The correct way is to drop it directly into the prepared clean water and dilute it before use.
