How can I bathe my baby at home when it's cold?

The temperature drop is serious these days, especially for babies living in the north. Taking a bath may become a concern of parents, who are afraid of catching a cold by taking a bath carelessly. So, how do you bathe your baby in winter? Here, according to my own experience, I have sorted out some matters needing attention, hoping to provide some reference for everyone.

1, the room where the baby takes a bath, the room temperature must be suitable.

It's cold in winter, so parents had better adjust the room temperature before bathing their baby. You can open the Yuba in advance and close the door for a while to keep the indoor temperature suitable. In addition, if you feel the indoor temperature is high, you can turn on the exhaust fan to ventilate for a while.

Generally speaking, the indoor temperature of 28 ~ 29℃ is more suitable for bathing your baby.

2, the baby's bath water, the water temperature must be appropriate.

Many parents may not know how much water is suitable for their baby to take a bath, and some parents may feel that the weather is cold. Is it better to prepare bath water with higher temperature for the baby?

In fact, for the baby, the bath water around 38 ~ 40℃ is the most suitable, neither too cold to make the baby catch a cold, nor too hot to burn the baby's delicate skin.

If parents are not sure about the temperature, they can prepare a thermometer for the baby to bathe, and measure the water temperature properly before bathing the baby.

3, the baby bath time should not be too long, controlled at 10 minutes.

It's cold in winter, so it's best to take a "quick decision" strategy to bathe your baby, and try not to bathe your baby for more than 10 minutes, otherwise the water temperature will drop, which may cause your baby to catch a cold and get sick.

4. After bathing, keep your baby warm in time.

Before the baby takes a bath, adjust the room temperature of the bedroom to a suitable temperature to prevent the baby from catching cold because the temperature is too low after returning to the room after taking a bath.

After giving the baby a bath, don't take the baby out right away. Parents are advised to slowly open the door to change the indoor temperature, and then prepare a bath towel for the baby in advance, and wrap it immediately after taking the baby out. If you think the bath towel is too thin, you can also wrap the baby in a blanket. It is recommended that the baby cover it for a while before making other arrangements.

Before dressing the baby, you can apply some body lotion. It's cold and dry in winter, so applying a little body lotion is good for baby's skin moisturizing.

It's cold in winter, and the most important thing to bathe your baby is to keep warm in time, and try not to let your baby catch a cold because of bathing. Finally, parents are advised not to bathe their baby too often in winter, just 2 ~ 3 times a week.
