Winter in the north is very cold. How often is it most appropriate for children to take a bath?

In winter, the weather is cold and the north wind is biting. If you are not careful, your baby will catch a cold, the water will evaporate quickly, and your baby's skin will dry easily. Frequent bathing and washing your face can easily lead to redness and chapping of your baby's skin, which will hurt your baby's delicate skin. So, how many days in winter is the best time to bathe your baby? How many times should I wash my face every day? What are the taboos for bathing your baby in winter? Today, Xiaobian, an early childhood education expert, will tell you about it!

1. It is most suitable for babies to take a bath every few days.

North: The weather is cold and dry. It is recommended to bathe your baby 1~2 times a week.

South: It's a little warmer. It is recommended to bathe your baby 2~3 times a week.

Don't wash your face more than twice a day.

The baby's face is the most vulnerable part, because the face is exposed to the air, and it is easier to lose water when it is blown by cold air, which may easily lead to itchy skin, original high redness or chapped skin. Frequent face washing will wash away the baby's own oil, and it is recommended not to exceed 2 times a day.

3. The harm of washing your face and taking a bath too often

There is a protective stratum corneum on the surface of human skin, but the baby's stratum corneum is very thin. If you often take a bath and wash your face, it will destroy the natural barrier of this stratum corneum. This will make it easier for some germs to invade.

In addition, the baby's oil secretion is less in winter. Frequent washing and bathing will wash away this precious oil that can moisturize your baby's skin, resulting in dry and damaged baby's skin and even sensitive skin.

4. Baby's winter bathing taboo

1) When taking a bath, please try to keep the indoor temperature around 24℃ and the water temperature around 38 ~ 40℃;

2) The bathing time should not be too long, preferably 5~ 10 minutes, because the baby is prone to catch a cold for too long;

3) Try not to use shower gel. In addition to washing away the oil on the baby, there are many normal flora on the baby's skin, which, together with the "natural barrier" of the skin, makes it difficult for other harmful bacteria to invade. The shower gel will kill the normal flora on the baby's skin, but harmful bacteria and molds will breed and spread on the skin, which is easy to cause a rash.

Don't forget to clean up the small PP every day.

A baby with normal excretion will defecate every day. Parents should remember to clean small PP for their children every day to prevent bacteria from breeding and causing inflammation of red buttocks and genitals.
