What should the baby eat when his skin is red and rough in winter?

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question. After entering the cold winter, the baby often has a cold, fever, runny nose and cough, and his face is dry and red. This is the most common problem. I don't know if you have noticed that as long as the baby blushes, the skin on his face will be rough, and in more serious cases, it will crack and even bleed. It is impossible to apply baby cream every day. The baby, who should be tender and fair, is not so cute. The point is that it still hurts.

Why does the baby's little face turn red?

In fact, it is very simple, because the baby is small, the cuticle of the dermis under the skin is thin, and the small face is the thinnest place, and the water locking ability is poor. If the diet lacks essential fatty acids, vitamin A and vitamin C, and the water consumption is not enough, then the baby is more likely to lack water, resulting in dry skin, which is not only manifested in the small face, limbs and back, but also will not be exposed, so it will not appear as red or even chapped as the face.

Under what circumstances is the baby's little face prone to redness?

In the cold winter, the baby's little face usually turns red in two situations. First, when you go out, you are blown by the biting cold wind. Usually it's not red outside, but it's purple when it's cold. After entering the room, especially in the indoor environment with heating, air conditioning or heaters, the subcutaneous capillaries expand, so the little face turns red. Second, the baby sleeps during the day, and many parents don't take off their clothes during the day, but also cover them with thick quilts. When sleeping, the metabolism in the body changes, the body temperature rises, and the body wears thick clothes and is covered with thick quilts, so it cannot dissipate heat. The hot air is all concentrated in the head, and the face is the thinnest part of the skin, so it turns red to achieve the purpose of self-regulation.

How does darling skin become red and dry easily?

It's actually very easy to solve. My peas occasionally have a dry and rough face. To solve this problem, we must first choose a baby cream with better moisturizing effect. It doesn't matter whether it is expensive or not, it must be effective.

Secondly, go out less and take your baby out as little as possible in cold winter. If you have something to go out, you must be prepared in advance, bring a stroller or a hat and mask that can take shelter from the wind, and go out armed.

Moreover, the baby should remember to undress when sleeping during the day. It is best to take off his autumn clothes and trousers before going to bed, but don't cover the quilt too thick, and don't turn on the air conditioner or turn down the temperature of the air conditioner when sleeping, so as to avoid blushing due to abnormal temperature adjustment when sleeping.

Finally, diet, remember to supplement vitamin AD and eat more fruits and vegetables every day. Babies around 2 years old should eat about 15g of nuts every day to supplement essential fatty acids. The most important thing is to drink more warm water every day, especially if there is heating, air conditioning and heater at home, and drink half more water every day than before. Only by ensuring the baby's adequate and balanced nutrition and moisture can the skin remain tender.

What should the baby's little face be rough and cracked?

Once the baby's face is rough and cracked, it will be very painful, and even the baby will resist washing. It is difficult to improve skin problems in a short time simply by applying cream. At this time, you can apply vaseline to your baby. In fact, many brands now have vaseline for babies, and you can also buy medical vaseline from pharmacies. Non-irritating, excellent moisturizing effect, and not greasy, which is conducive to the self-repair of baby's chapped face. After about two or three days, the cracked skin on the baby's face will scab and heal, but it needs to be used continuously, waiting for the new epithelial cells on the face to grow, and when the scab falls off and the facial skin returns to normal color, it can be restored to the conventional cream.

Although the weather in Hefei this year is not cold, it can even be said that it is quite hot these two days, but only when my pea's little face is dry and rough, I will let her rest at home for two days, and then go out to play when her little face is tender again. After all, in winter, you can't just go out in the sun and synthesize vitamin D yourself. It can be completely supplemented!
