Every bath in winter is a fierce battle, crying, reprimanding ~ one after another~
In winter, due to the special climatic conditions, especially for northern families without heating or air conditioning, bathing the baby has become a big project.
The temperature is too low for fear of the baby catching a cold, and the strength is not good enough to rub the baby's skin. So, what should we pay attention to when bathing your baby in winter?
First, when bathing the baby in winter, we must pay attention to the following points:
1, the bath time should not be too long
When bathing your baby in winter, don't let your baby soak in water for a long time, especially if your skin is dry. Because the soaking time is too long, the skin is prone to dehydration, which will aggravate the dryness of the skin. At the same time, soaking for too long will also make the outermost stratum corneum of the skin absorb water and soften, reducing the skin's resistance.
2. Do not rub hard
Some parents give their children a bath like "rubbing mud", to the baby to rub the bath, in fact, rubbed off is the stratum corneum, and after removing the stratum corneum, the skin support loses protection, it is easy to allergies and infections, so the baby bath must not be rubbed hard.

3. Do not use shower gel or soap every time you take a shower
Never wash your baby with alkaline soap, as it's easy to wash off sebum. For babies with dry skin, even if it is a baby-specific bath or soap, do not use it every day, just twice a week. Places that are prone to sweating, such as the neck, thigh roots, and armpits, can be washed every day with baby soap and bath liquid, and other places can be rinsed with water.
4. Pay attention to skin moisturizing after bathing
In winter, the skin is dry, and after bathing, give your baby some body lotion to moisturize and protect the skin. After bathing, when the skin is just dried, the skin is still wet, and at this time, whether it is rubbing medicine or oil, absorption is the best. After applying moisturizer to your baby, you can knead more to accelerate absorption.
Second, other precautions for bathing the baby
1. Anti-nail scratches
Before helping the baby bathe, the mother should trim the nails to prevent the nails from scratching the baby's delicate skin.
2. Anti-high temperature burns
The ambient temperature when bathing the baby should be 26-28 ° C, and the water temperature is about 38 ° C - 40 ° C. Mothers should apply their elbows to test the temperature before bathing their babies, and if possible, they can use a thermometer to measure the water temperature.
3. Anti-slip and fall
The water in the bath is wet and slippery, and the mother should dry the water stains on the ground before walking with the baby, and wear non-slip shoes if necessary.
4. Prevent cold
When the temperature is low, preheat the environment before bathing the baby, you can use air conditioning, electric stove, etc., after the bath to dress the baby should be placed next to the heating, the action should be rapid.
5. Drowning
When bathing the baby, you can't let go of the baby, you must fix it, and you can't let the baby stay in the bathtub. No matter how urgent the matter, wait for the rest of the family to come and then walk away, or wipe the baby clean, wrap it up, and carry the baby out before doing other things.
6. Use tasty powder with caution
Be sure to stay away from your baby's face when shaking the powder. When using close to your baby's face, such as your neck and forehead, take care to block your baby's eyes and nose to prevent your baby from coughing or being caught by inhaling the powder.
