The arrival of a newborn brings hope, happiness and joy to a family, but it also brings a lot of confusion to new parents, especially bathing the baby is a big difficulty!
As the temperature gradually rises, the frequency of your baby's bathing usually increases. But for new parents, how to bathe their baby correctly has become a key issue. Today, the editor has compiled a complete guide to the baby's bath, and the smart parents have begun to collect it!
First, the steps of the baby's bath
1. Before taking a bath
First of all, prepare the baby's toiletries, such as navel stickers, talcum powder, shower gel, baby's clothes, towels and other supplies, so as not to find things in a hurry when taking a bath.
The second is to prepare bath water. Use a bathtub or bathtub to bathe your baby, keep the water temperature between 38°C and 40°C, and keep the room temperature between 23°C and 27°C to avoid the baby getting cold after bathing.
2. When taking a bath
First of all, put a navel patch on the baby's belly button, because the baby's umbilical cord has not completely fallen off, and the belly button patch is to prevent water from entering the belly button and causing infection.
Then wipe the baby's body with a little water in your hand, so that the baby's body has an adaptation process to the warm water, and then slowly put the baby into the water, taking care not to let the hand leave the baby, so as not to frighten the baby.
3. After taking a bath
The bathing process is controlled within 20 minutesAfter bathing, the baby should be wrapped in a dry towel and immediately dried with water, and skin care products should be applied according to the baby's condition. In general, babies don't need too many skin care products, just enough baby powder, skin care lotion, etc. Dress your baby immediately after using skincare products to avoid catching a cold.
Second, the baby's bathing precautions
1. The time should be short
The baby's is more sensitive to room temperature, even if the water temperature is properly controlled, if the room temperature is low, it will also make the baby cold, then, the process of bathing the baby should be as fast as possible, while maintaining the speed, but also to ensure the quality of the bath, pay attention to the baby's neck, groin and intimate parts of the clean.
2. Don't take a shower immediately after a meal
The time of the baby's bath should be chosen, 1-2 hours after the baby feeds. If you bathe your baby when you are just full, it is easy to cause your baby to spit up and there is a risk of choking.
3. Choose special toiletries for infants and young children
Baby's skin is delicate and easy to irritate, adult toiletries have more foam, additives and other irritation, so adult toiletries are not suitable for infants. Be sure to use special baby toiletries with simple ingredients and little skin irritation.
Nothing is trivial when a baby grows. Many small details in life may have a great impact on the growth and development of the baby, just like bathing, which seems to be the most common operation, in fact, there are many homework that parents need to do. Finally, I hope that every baby can spend a beautiful summer happily and safely under the loving care of their parents!
