After birth, babies often have a thick, black or brown scaly patch on the scalp.
Do you feel the same way? After becoming a parent, it seems that there is also some obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I can't see anything wrong with the baby.
Around the sugar mother, some people can't see a drop of saliva at the corner of the baby's mouth, and some people can't see that the baby has a little dirty trace. But many new parents do not know that for small babies, parents love to be clean, and the baby may suffer more.
"Obsessive-compulsive disorder" Bao Mom loves to be clean too much, and almost pits the baby
Her friend Xiaoqing loved cleanliness before she gave birth, and in her own words, there was some "obsessive-compulsive disorder" on her body.
After giving birth to a baby, OCD seems to get worse. In order to ensure the hygiene of the baby, she will let her sister-in-law bathe the baby every day during the month and disinfect the home.
At first, the baby's body is still fragrant, but after a few days of birth, the dirty things on the baby's head are more and more, close to the scalp, and cannot be washed off.
Xiaoqing suspected that yue was lazy and did not bathe the baby properly. But the sister-in-law said that this dirty thing on the baby's head cannot be washed off, otherwise the baby will become "dumb".
Xiaoqing was suspicious of the letter, and once when he was holding the baby to feed, he saw that the dirty things on the baby's head were a little cocked, and he couldn't help but use his hands to cut it down. The baby did not cry at that time, but the next day the sister-in-law found that the baby was not right.
Where the dirty things on the baby's head were removed, the scalp was red and there was a little bleeding. After the sister-in-law discovered this situation, she immediately reflected to Xiaoqing, who was very remorseful after seeing it, and since then she has been able to bear OCD when she sees the baby.
Sugar mom understands the friend's approach very well, and there is the same dirty thing on the head after the little candy is born, but the sugar mother has previewed it when she goes to the mother's class, which is a very common cradle cap on the baby's head, and it is very hurt to cut off the baby at will.
The "dirty things" on the baby's head are not simple, and it is very bad to cut off at will
Not only new parents, do not know what the dirty things on the baby's head are, experienced parents may not really understand, in fact, the dirty things on the baby's scalp are called cradle caps.
Infant cradle caps, also known as "cradle caps", are one of the manifestations of seborrheic dermatitis in newborns. It usually appears on your baby's scalp with a yellow, spotted or greasy scaly substance.
However, babies with long cradle scabs will not feel itchy, so the baby will not cry when he has cradle scabs, which leads parents to mistakenly think that the baby is just dirty scalp.
Cradle caps are not the same as fetal fat, usually hard and close to the scalp, generally close to the baby's fontanelle position, parents who love cleanliness really can't see this picture.
However, Sugar Mom wants to tell everyone that like my friend, it is necessarily wrong to use your hands to pick the cradle scab, but as sister-in-law said, cutting off the cradle scab will become dumb, and there is no scientific reason to speak of.
The dirty things on the baby's head need to be cleaned, but pay attention to the way, otherwise the parents are clean for the baby's good, but the cleaning is not right, but it will pit the baby.
Parents do not deal with "cradle caps" in the right way, and the baby is very injured
If you believe in superstitious claims, cutting off the baby's cradle cap will become dumb, obviously one of the drawbacks is unhygienic, and the longer it drags on, the worse it is to clean.
The cradle caps around the baby's fontanelle will also hide dirt and dirt, becoming a gathering place of bacteria, which not only causes the baby to be easily ill, but also the long hair will be affected.
In addition, the harder cradle cap will hinder the real role of the fontanelle, which is inconvenient for doctors and parents to observe the state of the baby's fontanelle, and cannot solve the physical hazards for the baby in time.
However, if the parent directly uses his hand to forcibly cut it off, it is easy to cut the scalp under the cradle scab, and the lighter one is only the scalp redness. Heavier ones may cause your baby's scalp to bleed, become infected, and become sensitive.
There was a private message from Bao Mom in the background, she itched to remove the baby's cradle scab, and the baby had a fever because of the infection. Although the baby's body has no problems later, the family is still very afraid and advises everyone not to be like her.
"Obsessive-compulsive disorder" parents clean the baby's cradle scab in this way, not pit the baby
In summary, cradle scabs are to be cleaned, but the cleaning method and daily care are very important, and parents should pay attention to the following things.
1) Precautions when taking a bath
When the baby has not yet grown cradle scabs, parents should pay attention to details when bathing the baby. When washing your baby's hair first, don't scratch your baby's scalp with your fingernails, but gently scrub it with your fingertips to avoid small wounds on your scalp.
In addition, the cleaning products for the baby should also be gentle, try to choose products without fragrance, and choose products that are separated from bathing and shampooing. After cleaning your baby's hair, rinse thoroughly with water to avoid residual items from continuing to irritate your baby's scalp.
2) Don't cut your baby's hair too short
Parents try not to cut the baby's small bald head, even if it is cut full moon head or February 2, the dragon looks up, and try to leave about 1cm of hair. The skin on your baby's whole body is fragile, as is the scalp.
Properly leaving some hair can protect the baby's scalp from changes in heat and cold, and it is not easy to be injured and infected, as long as it is usually clean and in place, it is not easy to grow cradle caps.
3) Correct cleaning of cradle scabs
If your baby's cradle scab looks dry and not large. Then parents can apply some baby-specific tea oil or olive oil to the cradle cap a few hours before the baby bathes.
This is done in the mildest way to soften the cradle cap, which can easily fall off when you are in the shower. However, only taking a bath or two will not completely fall off, and parents do not have to force it.
If the baby's cradle cap area has been "oily", the edges are red, and even have an unpleasant smell, the situation is somewhat serious. At this time, parents can not blindly deal with it without authorization, and must take the baby to see a doctor in time.
Candy Mother's Heart:
Every parent raising a baby is slowly groping out the experience, some pits do not step on, do not know how to do, can not completely blame parents for not caring about their children.
Whether it is a new parent or an experienced parent, you must always learn the scientific way of raising a baby. Don't be gullible enough to believe the superstitious saying that "the baby will become dumb when you pick the scab", and let your kindness pit the baby.
