Summer is coming, the sweltering air is really not very friendly to people, making people feel hot and uncomfortable, even if the skin is still prone to problems. Adults can also care for the skin through a variety of water milk mask sunscreen, but the baby's skin is delicate, and dare not give them these adult things, so how to protect the baby's skin? Many parents are more distressed about the baby's skin problems, afraid that the child will have a rash and prickly heat.
Some parents do not know how to properly care for the delicate skin of their babies. Some of the information seen on the Internet is always difficult to distinguish between true and false, and even many nursing methods are wrong. These wrong knowledge often make parents fall into the wrong area, not only can not help the baby to protect the skin, and even harm the baby. So what are the common mistakes about baby skin care?
1. Do not give the baby sun protection in summer
Some parents usually remember to rub moisturizer on their children, but they forget the most important sun protection in summer. Because your baby's skin is more delicate, he is also more sensitive to ultraviolet rays in the sun. Many babies will have sunburn, erythema, peeling and other conditions after being exposed to the sun in the summer. Once they appear, it takes a lot of effort to raise them completely, and they are easy to leave marks and scars. Therefore, in the summer, parents must also do a good job of sun protection for their children, bring a hat when they go out, wear sunscreen clothing, reduce the direct exposure of the sun to the skin, and more hydrate the skin.
2. Rub eczema on the baby with breast milk
There is a saying on the Internet that breast milk can care for a child's skin and remove eczema. Some parents believed it to be true and really tried this method. In fact, breast milk has no skin care role at all. Because it can neither deheat and dehumidify, nor can it be anti-inflammatory and anti-itch. On the contrary, after breast milk is applied to the skin, the substances such as proteins contained in it will deteriorate and breed bacteria. If your child's skin is broken, it is easy to get infected and inflamed.
3. Give the baby talk powder and prickly heat powder
When the weather is hot, the baby especially loves to sweat, if the clothes are worn a little more breathlessly, the skin is prone to prickly heat. So tassel powder, prickly heat powder may be something that parents will prepare in the summer. However, parents should also pay attention to when applying prickly heat powder to their babies, and do not use it in the place where the baby's skin is broken to prevent infection. Also pay attention to the skin folds in the child's arms, neck, etc. These places easily get stuck with a lot of powder, thus wearing out the skin.
4. Shave your baby's head and grow better
In the summer, parents like to shave their babies' heads, thinking that without hair, it will not be hot, and the hair will grow more densely in the future. This is also a misunderstanding. Let's not say that "shaving the head can make the hair grow better" has no scientific basis, just the sun protection, the hair is also indispensable. In fact, hair also has the effect of protecting the scalp, which can prevent ultraviolet rays from directly hitting the scalp. If your child shaves his head, it will be hotter and more likely to get sunburned. And when you give a haircut to a baby, it is easy to hurt the scalp and hair follicles, causing infection.
Skin care is not a one-time effort. If you want your baby to have healthy and beautiful skin from an early age, parents must do their homework and take good care of their baby's skin. Moreover, parents have established a sense of skin care for their children from an early age, which can help children pay attention to their skin health in the future, care for their skin, improve their appearance, and be a delicate little baby.
