Precautions before baby takes a bath. When it is hot and humid every day, in the high temperature and humid environment, the baby's sweat glands are immature, and it is easier to sweat than adults, and it is easier to grow prickly heat. Therefore, the baby must take a bath seriously, so what preparations does the baby have before taking a bath?
Precautions before the baby takes a bath 1 First of all, how to give the baby a bath?
Bathing the baby is a big event, and novice mothers are often confused. The water temperature, the preparation of articles, the sequence and method of bathing, and how to touch the baby after washing to make her sleep comfortably.
How to bathe a baby?
Step 1: Parents should wash their hands, then gently scrub the baby's face with a soft towel (don't rub it), wash the ears, and scrub the ears and nostrils with cotton balls respectively.
Step 2: Take off your clothes, wipe your ass, avoid getting the bath water dirty, and then apply some shower gel to your child. Then, gently put him in water with the right temperature, hold the child with your hand and wash off the soap bubbles.
Step 3: After washing, take the child out of the water, immediately put a dry and soft towel on him, and gently and carefully dry the water, paying special attention to wrinkled places, such as ears, neck, armpits, navel, external genitals and toes.
Step 4: Apply some prickly heat powder to the baby and put on clean clothes prepared in advance.
Second, the baby's preparation before bathing
The first thing to do is to get everything you need for a bath. For example, things that disinfect the umbilical cord (before the umbilical cord falls off), pre-changed baby bags, clothes, diapers, small towels, large bath towels, bathtubs, cold water, hot water, baby powder, etc. At the same time, check your fingernails to avoid scratching your baby, and then wash your hands with soap.
The newborn baby is delicate and has just left the most stable mother's womb. We should imagine an ideal environment and suitable temperature for him in great detail. It is best to keep the room temperature between 26 ~ 28℃, which is generally the most comfortable; The water temperature is about 37℃ ~ 42℃.
You can pour cold water into the basin first, then heat the water, and then try it with your wrist or elbow to make the water temperature just right.
It is worth noting that when taking a bath, you should avoid the frontal attack of the gust to prevent you from catching cold and getting sick. Bathing time should be arranged after breast-feeding the baby 1 ~ 2 hours, otherwise it will easily cause vomiting.
Baby's skin is very sensitive (especially scalp), and it is easy to be allergic to chemical components, flavors and spices, especially chemically synthesized surfactants. Because of their strong degreasing ability, it is easy to damage hair follicles and affect the healthy growth of hair in the long run.
Dermatologists suggest that when choosing cleaning products for babies, mothers should not only pay attention to "fragrance", but also choose neutral cleaning products without essence and soap, so as not to burden the baby's skin!
Three or six situations that are not suitable for bathing your baby.
First, don't take a shower for the time being after vaccination.
After the baby is vaccinated, there will be pinholes on the skin that are difficult to see with the naked eye. At this time, bathing is easy to pollute pinholes.
Second, in case of frequent vomiting and diarrhea, don't take a shower for the time being.
It is inevitable to move the baby when taking a bath, which will aggravate vomiting and lead to accidental inhalation of vomit when not paying attention.
Third, it is not recommended to take a bath within 48 hours of fever or fever.
Bathing a baby with a fever can easily cause the baby to chill, and some even have convulsions; Improper bathing sometimes leads to the closure of skin pores, leading to an increase in body temperature, and sometimes leads to the expansion and congestion of skin capillaries all over the body, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the main organs of the baby's body.
In addition, after a fever, the baby's resistance is extremely poor, and it is easy to catch cold and have a fever again. Therefore, it is recommended that the baby take a bath after 48 hours of fever.
Fourth, it is not advisable to take a bath when the baby's skin is damaged.
The baby has skin damage, such as impetigo, furuncle, scald, trauma, etc. Therefore, it is not appropriate to take a bath at this time. Because there will be wounds in the local area where the skin is damaged, bathing will spread or pollute the wounds.
5. It is not advisable to take a bath immediately after feeding.
Taking a bath immediately after feeding will make more blood flow to the expanded epidermal blood vessels stimulated by hot water, while the blood supply in abdominal cavity will be relatively reduced, which will affect the baby's digestive function. Secondly, because the baby's stomach is expanding after feeding, taking a bath immediately is also easy to cause vomiting. Therefore, bathing should generally be carried out 1-2 hours after feeding.
Six, low birth weight children should be careful to take a bath.
Low birth weight babies are usually babies whose birth weight is less than 2500 grams. Most of these babies are premature. Because of their immature development, low living ability, thin subcutaneous fat and poor thermoregulation function, they are prone to temperature fluctuations due to environmental temperature changes. Therefore, for this special baby, we should carefully decide whether to take a bath.
In addition, it should be noted that bathing the baby is subject to the constraints of the surrounding environment in addition to the baby's own factors. When bathing the baby, the ambient temperature is 26-28℃ and the water temperature is 40-42℃.
Precautions before the baby takes a bath 2 Precautions for the child to take a bath
1, prepare bath supplies in advance.
Help your child take a bath. Before taking a bath, you should prepare articles for bathing and clothes for your child after bathing. We can't wait for the bath and after the bath to prepare, so it is easy for children to catch a cold.
2. Pay attention to the water temperature and indoor temperature.
Pay attention to the water temperature when bathing children. Neither too high nor too low. It is best to control it at about 40 degrees Celsius. Of course, it can be warmer in winter and cooler in summer, so that children will feel more comfortable.
In addition, we must control the room temperature. If the room temperature is too low, prepare a big towel and wrap it to dry after the child takes a shower to avoid causing the child to catch a cold.
3. Frequent use of bath shampoo products is not required.
Bathing children does not require frequent use of bath and shampoo products, because children's skin is still delicate, and long-term use of these things for bathing will cause certain harm to the skin.
4. Bathing time should not be too long.
Bathing a child doesn't mean it will be clean after a long time. Time should be controlled, preferably within fifteen minutes.
How to nurse the baby after taking a bath?
When wrapping the baby's whole body with a bath towel, you can leave the navel, clean the navel from the middle to the outside with an alcohol cotton swab, and pay attention to keeping the navel dry and clean. If the navel is red, has pus or has an unpleasant smell, consult a doctor.
Usually, you can put some talcum powder on the wrinkles of your baby's skin to make him feel dry and comfortable. Apply skin care oil to baby's buttocks to prevent urine from irritating the skin to produce diaper rash.
Put the baby in diapers and get dressed. But don't wrap your baby tightly in a "candle bag". He should relax his hands and feet and let him move freely, which is conducive to breathing and blood circulation to promote growth and development.
If the baby's facial skin is dry, you can also apply a small amount of moisturizing oil to the face to keep the skin moist and smooth.
It is worth noting that baby products such as skin care oil and talcum powder on the market can only be used in moderation if the baby's skin is free from diseases. Moreover, these oils or powders should not be directly sprinkled on the newborn's skin, but should be sprinkled on the hands first and then on the baby.
If the skin has a rash and red buttocks, it is most important to keep it dry and take medicine according to the doctor's advice. At this time, if you use these oils or powders, it is unnecessary to stimulate the baby, but it is harmful.
