Hello everyone, I'm Pinocchio Mom!
How often do you bathe your child in winter? A mother in the office complained about this: "My child's bath in winter is really too difficult..."
Another mother heard this and immediately chimed in: "Yes! Not only was it cold, but last time I almost washed the baby and fainted, which was really scary."
It turned out that this mother gave the child a bath when she was hungry, and the result was that the child almost fainted.
It can be seen that bathing children in winter should also look at the "timing", when the time is not ripe, really do not bathe the child, otherwise it is easy to "get into trouble" if you wash uncomfortable.
01. Bathe the baby in winter, please avoid 3 time points
Bathing is not recommended when your child is hungry
The reason why the colleague's child will faint in the bath is that the whole family went out to baby all day that day, and when he came home, the child's father was cooking, and the mother looked at the dust and dirt on the child's body, and she wanted to wash the child first, and the result was "something wrong".
The reason is that after the child plays all day, the physical energy is almost exhausted, the body is in a state of hunger, the self-protection function is weak, the energy and blood circulation are more focused on the brain, the heart and other important organs of the body, and the circulating blood volume on the surface of the body will be much less.
Coupled with the child in the bath non-stop movement, in the warm bath water, the child's body will accelerate blood circulation, the heart, brain blood circulation is worse, plus the child bath time is long, it is likely to be due to ischemia and hypoxia and dizziness, and even fainting.
Therefore, when the child is active during the day and is in a state of hunger, do not blindly bathe the child.
After just eating, it is not recommended to wash
When the child is hungry, it is not recommended to take a bath; when it is just full, it is also not recommended to take a bath; the reason is that when the bath is just finished eating, it will affect the "work" of the digestive system, the light has gastrointestinal discomfort, and the severe case may also cause bloating or vomiting.
Once, when sending her daughter back to her hometown, Pino's mother thought that it was inconvenient to take a bath in her hometown, so she decided to bathe her daughter in Chengdu and then go back. Due to the hurry, shortly after eating, Pino's mother began to bathe her daughter, washing and washing, and her daughter vomited...
Therefore, when the child has just eaten a full meal, it is not recommended to take a bath in time, and you can wait for the child to "digest" before bathing.
When the skin is damaged, it is not recommended to wash it
Do not bathe when your child has a wound in the skin and the damage area is large, so as to avoid infection after the wound comes into contact with water and affect the healing of the wound.
Every time the daughter finished the preventive injection, for the sake of safety, the doctor told her not to bathe the child when she went home that day.
If the child's wound is small and has to take a bath, Pinocchio's mother recommends: first paste the waterproof band-aid on the child's wound, and then let the child take a shower as much as possible, and at the same time, in the process of bathing, the action should be gentle and avoid rubbing on the wound.
To bathe the baby in winter, we must avoid the above 3 time nodes as much as possible, otherwise the child will be uncomfortable and easy to "get into trouble". In addition, bathing should also pay attention to prevent colds, after the daughter took several baths, the next day there was a runny nose, and when it was severe, it may also have a low fever.

Pay attention to the frequency of bathing
Winter due to dry air, the human skin is also very tight, if the bath frequency is too high, it will hurt the oil in the skin, light skin redness, dryness, itching conditions; severe cases may also appear eczema.
So, what frequency of bathing is good to follow in winter?
Newborns (
Newborns have less skin thickness than adults, skin oil secretion is strong, if you do not bathe for a long time, oil accumulates on the surface of the skin, it is easy to appear dermatitis or diaper rash.
Infants (> 28 days): Wash once every other day or twice a week
When the daughter was more than 2 months old, there was dermatitis, when doing child insurance, the child care doctor reminded that 3 weeks to 3 months after birth is the "peak period" for infants and young children to have skin inflammation, so the baby bathing frequency before 3 months is higher, and it is dynamically recommended to wash every other day, at least 2 times a week.
Older children: Wash 1-3 times a week
Older children have a lot of activity, although the skin is easy to sweat, it is not recommended to wash every day, unless the play is particularly dirty, otherwise keep washing 1-3 times a week.
Control the length of bathing
For babies who are still in confinement, try not to bathe as soon as possible after feeding. When the daughter is still in the confinement, the bath is usually two people, one person is responsible for holding the daughter, the right hand supports the daughter's head, and the left hand supports the small PP.
The other person washed from the top down from the daughter's scalp, face, neck, armpits and other parts, and the time was controlled as much as possible for 3-5 minutes.
It is worth noting that before the baby's umbilical cord falls off, it is necessary to pay attention to avoiding it as much as possible to avoid infection with water.
Infants (> 28 days): 5-8 minutes
For babies who are about to be confined, parents can take a half-lying approach according to the child's development, bathe the child, and the bath time is controlled as much as possible at 5-8 minutes.
Older children, control within 10 minutes
Whether it is an older child or an adult, it is recommended to control the bath time within 10 minutes.
Control the water temperature and emollient in time
Newborns (< 28 days), the water temperature is controlled at about 38 ° C
When doing child protection, the doctor reminds that when bathing the newborn, the room temperature is controlled at 26-28 ° C as much as possible, and the bath water temperature is controlled at 38 ° C. Pino's mother was tested directly with a thermometer, afraid to test the water temperature with her hands or elbows.
When the baby is bathed, it is necessary to dip in the water in time and apply moisturizer to the child;
Infants (> 28 days), 37-38 °C
Babies who are about to be confined, the body has been developed to a certain extent, at this time the room temperature is controlled at 24-28 ° C, and the bath water temperature is controlled at 37-38 ° C.
It is worth noting that when bathing the baby, pay attention to washing the skin of the private parts, dry the water in time after washing, and apply moisturizer.
Older children, 38 ° C is suitable
Older children can adjust the water temperature according to their own feelings, and in general, 38 ° C water temperature is more appropriate. You can use the skin of your elbows to test the level of water temperature, and feel that it is not hot.
For children with dry skin, after bathing, it is necessary to dry and apply moisturizer in time, if the skin is itchy, do not scratch directly with your hands to avoid scratching the skin.
In short, bathing a child seems like a very simple thing, but if you don't pay attention to it, it is not only uncomfortable to wash, but also easy to "get into trouble". For the sake of children's health, it is recommended that mothers should avoid the above 3 time nodes and master the above 3 steps to bathe their babies in order to make their children wash comfortably and not be cold.
