Many mothers bathe their children more frequently in summer. Why is this?

When taking a bath for a newborn, just run it with clean water, and you don’t need to use shampoo or body wash unless it is extremely dirty (which is generally unlikely). The indoor temperature is adjusted to 26-28°C, and the water temperature is adjusted to 35-36°C. Pay attention to pouring in cold water first and then boiling water. Bath time should be controlled within 10 minutes. At the same time, children should not be left alone in the bathroom for any reason. Take a shower before or 1-2 hours after breastfeeding to prevent the newborn from spitting up milk. The baby's neck needs to be supported throughout the process.

Don’t leave any wrinkles in areas such as the head and neck, under the armpits, and in the groin area. Girls should especially clean the area around the vulva, while boys should pay attention to cleaning behind the testicles. Use a large cotton towel to carefully and gently wipe all parts of the baby's body, and then apply a thin layer of baby-specific lotion. Hot water should be drained immediately without retaining water. Babies can be bathed every day. Our baby may be a premature baby. After she recovers and returns home, we shower her every day. She still seems to enjoy it. Just be careful during the shower and don't let her belly button touch her belly. If you get too much water on your eyes, it is very easy to get infected. If you don't wash your eyes for a long time, you will feel angry.

After washing and wiping, the belly button should be kept dry. After wiping, give it a moderate massage. The baby will interact with you. Babies have a fast metabolism, sweat a lot, and urinate frequently. Too much prickly heat powder will form into small pieces or particles when it comes into contact with sweat or urine. When the baby moves, the powder or particles in the folds of the body rub against the delicate skin. , it is very easy to cause redness, itching and erosion of the skin, so try not to use prickly heat powder. If the temperature is hot, you can bathe your newborn every day, but there is no need to use bath liquid every time.

When bathing a newborn, make sure that the belly button does not get stuck with water, or protect the belly button before taking a shower. Children who are too young can use a hot and humid rag to scrub. After taking a shower, wipe off the water on the baby's skin as soon as possible, especially in areas with many wrinkles such as the neck, armpits, and thighs. And change into clean and tidy clothes. If it is rainy and the temperature is cool, there is no need to take a shower every day. After each feeding and when the child sweats a lot, wipe the sweat off the child's hands immediately. The temperature of the shower should be adjusted between 37-40 degrees.
