Bathing the baby and maintaining the baby's personal hygiene can avoid the baby's discomfort to a large extent and reduce the chance of the child getting sick, which is a very good thing for the baby.
However, this does not mean that the baby can be bathed in any case, and sometimes bathing the baby at the wrong time will not only not be beneficial to health, but will even pose a threat to the baby's life and health.
Bathing the baby in winter is "exquisite"
In these 3 cases, no matter how dirty it is, don't bathe the baby casually, otherwise the consequences will be serious
The first case: when there are severe emotional problems
When the baby is in a bad mood, it is not recommended to bathe the baby, because the baby does not cooperate during the bath, not only may a variety of accidents occur, but also may cause the baby to catch a cold.
When Sister Mei wanted to bathe the child, the child was very resistant to bathing, so she cried and said that she would not take a bath.
However, Sister Mei did not appease the child's emotions, but forcefully said "you have to wash", and then put hot water in the bathroom by herself, pulled the child over, helped the child undress and began to wash.
In the process of bathing, the child felt very angry for his mother's toughness, so he did not cooperate during the whole bathing process, and kept crying and resisting.
As a result, he first choked on the water, and then slipped and fell on the ground. Finally, when the body was washed and sprinkled, the child did not cooperate, and as a result, he caught a cold.
【Analysis】When your child is in a bad mood, there may be a variety of negative situations:
(1) In the process of bathing, the child's crying, pushing and other uncooperative behaviors may cause the child to choke, slip, etc., which poses a greater threat to the child's health or safety.
(2) After bathing, the child's non-cooperation will make the child unable to dry the water in time to keep warm, and it is more likely to get sick from the cold.
(3) Forcing children to take a bath will not only cause physical effects, but also psychological effects, which is not conducive to the maintenance of parent-child relationship.
[Rice Mom's Advice]: It is actually a very common thing for children to resist bathing, and parents need to patiently comfort their children and let them be emotionally stable before taking a bath.
Some children are not crying because of bathing, it may be for other reasons, at this time parents should also pay attention, first to soothe the child's emotions, if the appeasement is not successful, then do not wash for the time being, wait until the child's mood is stable before taking a bath, do not force the child to bathe.
The second case: when there is a skin wound
When the baby's skin has trauma and skin lesions, it is not suitable for bathing, which may lead to aggravation of skin lesions and other problems.
A mother took her child to the mother and baby store to take a bath, but when taking a bath, the staff found a small skin lesion on the child's hand, and the mother said that the child accidentally burned a little bit and the blisters burst.
The staff said that it was not recommended to bathe with skin lesions, but the mother said that such skin lesions would not affect bathing, so she asked the staff to continue bathing the child.
Not long after taking the bath, the mother noticed some signs of redness in the blister on the child's hand, but the mother didn't care.
As a result, the child's original small skin lesions were inflamed and pus-draining one after another, and the injury became more serious.
When there are skin lesions on the baby's body, it is not suitable for bathing, such as scratches, skin lesions after blisters have been broken, skin lesions caused by skin diseases, etc.
This is because these lesions may become inflamed and pus drain when they are exposed to water, which can lead to contamination of the wound by contaminants in the water.
[Rice Mom's Suggestion]: If there are skin lesions on the baby, it is not recommended to bathe the baby. If the baby is too dirty, parents can do a local cleaning to avoid water touching the wound.
It should be noted that it is absolutely not advisable to get wetted or use powdered drugs to avoid scarring.
The third situation: when you are hungry or just full
It is not recommended to bathe your baby when he is too hungry or full, as there is a high risk of "dizziness" or digestive problems.
In fact, this situation has happened around us, when a neighbor in my hometown chose to bathe his child before meals.
At that time, it was because when steaming steamed buns, a large pot of hot water happened to be boiled, and it was a pity to pour it out, so I thought about giving the child a bath first.
Later, the neighbor poured boiling water mixed with cold water into the bathtub, tested the water temperature, it was warm and comfortable, and let the child take a bath before eating.
As a result, not long after the child fell into the bathtub, he fainted. This neighbor also did a similar thing, that is, when the youngest son of the family had just finished eating, the neighbor hurriedly wanted to bathe the child, because he was afraid that the child would fall asleep after washing late.
As a result, the child vomited while taking a bath, which made the neighbors busy.
【Analysis】When the child is too hungry, giving the child a hot bath may stimulate the phenomenon of "fainting", that is, the hot water causes the child's capillaries to open up quickly, the blood flow becomes faster, and the brain may produce ischemia, or make the baby have hypoglycemia, etc., resulting in dizziness or temporary fainting of the child.
Bathing your child just after eating will cause discomfort such as vomiting for two reasons.
The first is the large difference in body movement, because the child needs to change positions all the time during the bath, which may irritate the stomach and intestines, induce vomiting and other conditions.
The second is to take a hot bath after eating, the amount of blood circulating on the body surface increases, and the blood supply to the child's stomach and intestines is affected, which causes various digestive problems, including vomiting.
[Rice Mom Suggestion]: When bathing the baby, be sure to choose a good time, do not take a bath immediately after eating, it is recommended to take a bath one hour after the baby eats.
Of course, you can't bathe your baby when he's too hungry to avoid "fainting".
Write at the end
Parents must pay attention to these conditions when bathing their babies. Bathing is a good thing, but even if it's a good thing, if it's done at the wrong time, it can have a negative impact on your baby.
