Babies should be bathed regularly. And every part of the little body requires special attention and care.. All young mothers are worried before the first time to dip a newborn in the bath. And for everything to go smoothly, you need to be well prepared..
Immediately before the procedure, make sure that everything you need is literally at hand: cotton pads, baby cream, bathing agent, towel, oil. It is desirable that your husband or grandmother help you at first..
Fresh face In the first months of life, the baby should be washed daily with a cotton pad dipped in warm boiled water.. Always wipe your face in the direction from the nose to the ears..
Important!
Don't use regular baby soap to wash your little one.. It can irritate and dry out delicate skin..
Beware, eyes!
Rinse children's eyes, starting from the outer corner of the eye to the nose.. Use boiled water for this.. If the eyes of the little one turn sour, wash them with a solution of furacilin (two tablets per glass of warm boiled water) or weak brewing of black tea. Never rinse your eyes with the same cotton pad.
Important!
Do not try to wash your baby's eyes when he is in the tub.. It is better to carry out this procedure before or after bathing..
Clean ears Clean only the auricle, preferably daily, after an evening bath. Use a cotton swab dipped in boiled water and well wrung out. Do not use hygienic sticks to cleanse the ears of secretions - they can injure a small ear.
Important!
Do not over-clean children's ears - earwax prevents germs from entering the ear.
Fluffy hairs For the first month, it is better to wash the baby’s hair with baby soap or shampoo for newborns (there should be an inscription “from the first days of life” on the package). Hair should be washed daily, because the baby sweats and often burps (the remnants of the milk dry up on the hairs). And at least twice a day, gently comb your hair (even if there are very few of them). It improves blood circulation in the scalp and strengthens the hair follicles..
Important!
The crumbs on the head appeared crusts (seborrheic dermatitis)? An hour before bathing, rub sterilized vegetable oil into the skin to soften the scales.. Then comb out the crusts with a thick brush or comb and wash the baby's head with the shampoo that you usually use..
Attention to the ass It also has its own little tricks. The girl should be washed only from front to back, otherwise bacteria from the ass can be brought into the area of \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bthe urethra and vagina, which is fraught with inflammation. When washing a boy, special attention should be paid to the scrotum. This can be done with a damp cloth or a piece of cotton wool soaked in water.. Remember that you can not push the foreskin on the penis every time. During my daily evening bath, my ass is at the very end. After water procedures, thoroughly blot all the folds (but not three skin! ): so you will avoid the appearance of diaper rash.
Important!
After water procedures, let the baby lie naked for a few minutes. Also air bath your butt at every diaper change (about 5-10 minutes). If under the diaper the skin turns red and diaper rash appears, use a special ointment, which includes zinc..
Handles are ok!
The baby constantly puts his fingers in his mouth, so his hands should always be clean.. Wash them often or at least wipe them with a damp cloth. It is better to cut the baby's nails when he sleeps. Use special scissors with rounded tips for this..
Important!
Trimming the baby's nails, you accidentally hurt him? Do not panic! Wipe the wound with a cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide.
