For new parents, taking care of the baby has become a problem, there is no experience in everything, and it is essential to take care of the baby's daily cleaning, especially the head cleaning. The baby's head has a thick layer of scabs, and some parents can't help but cut it, but in fact, it will cause a lot of harm to the child.
The formation of "cradle scabs" is normal
Newborn babies have to bathe every day, but they can't avoid growing some hard things on their heads, as if they are wrapped in a layer of "shell", in fact, this is "cradle cap", which needs to be cleaned up in the right way.
1) Oil is secreted and formed
The formation of cradle scabs is actually related to the secretion of oil on the baby's head, even if it is bathed every day, it will also appear, which is a relatively common phenomenon. In fact, it is normal for the head to develop cradle caps if the oil is excessively secreted.
2) Breastfeeding is associated
The amount of the baby's cradle scab is actually related to the way the mother feeds. After the baby is born, breastfeeding is the best way, breastfeeding situation mainly depends on the mother's diet collocation, if you will eat some too greasy food on weekdays, then it will inevitably make the baby's cradle cap more and more.
3) Clean-up work is essential and beneficial to health
The baby's body is delicate, and many parents have no experience when taking care of it, thinking that they can't give the baby frequent cleaning, especially the head. In fact, if you do not clean up for a long time, the baby's head will accumulate more and more grease, and the cradle cap will be more and more.
Although parents can't use their hands to pick the scab, it doesn't mean that they can't clean it. The increase in cradle caps will be detrimental to the health of the baby, and proper cleaning can not be less.
Cradle scab cleaning is indispensable, otherwise it will have a big impact on the baby
1. The number of cradle scabs increases, which is easy to produce bacterial infections
Cradle scab is formed due to excessive secretion of oil, and the longer it takes, it will naturally breed a lot of bacteria and affect the baby's health. The baby's body is not fully developed enough, and the immunity is low at this time. If the scalp produces too many bacteria, it is easy to cause head infection, which is not conducive to health.
2. Too much cradle cap, easy to affect the health of hair follicles
After the cradle scab is formed, it is like adding a "hard shell" to the baby's head, and at the same time, the growth and development of the hair will be hindered. The baby's head is wrapped all day and does not give the hair follicle enough breathing space, and over time the hair follicle development cannot proceed as usual, so that the hair cannot grow normally.
3. The increase of cradle scab is easy to affect the fontanelle function
After the baby is born, the fontanelle is not completely closed, and parents need to observe more at this time. The fontanelle does not gradually close until the baby is about eighteen months old, and if it is covered by the cradle cap at this time, the function of expansion and buffering will be affected. Parents must not ignore, always pay attention to the changes in the fontanelle.
The cradle cap should be cleaned up in the right way, and parents should study it seriously
The cradle cap should be cleaned up correctly so as to ensure the healthy growth of the baby.
Can not be "simple and rough": see the baby's head has cradle scabs, there are always parents who can't help but use their hands to cut, such a rough way of handling, easy to cause damage to the skin. The baby's skin is relatively delicate, and hard cutting will inevitably cause damage and cause infection. The "simple and rough" way is not advisable, and parents should learn the correct nursing methods with their hearts. Gentle cleaning: When parents clean their baby's head scab, be sure to use gentle treatment. Parents can use some tea oil or olive oil suitable for the baby to play a moisturizing role. After tea oil and other supplies soften the cradle cap, parents can do a good job of cleaning by gently wiping it at this time. Clean regularly: After the cleaning work is over, parents should pay attention to drying the baby's head and clean it regularly. If the grease and dirt on the baby's head are not cleaned up in time, the accumulation for a long time will cause infection. The baby's cleaning work can not be careless, and regular cleaning is conducive to the healthy growth of the baby.
