The baby’s small face, which is broken by blows, is always not close enough. However, in autumn and winter, when the weather is dry, the baby’s delicate skin is prone to eczema, chapping, chilblain, rotten mouth, red buttocks and other skin problems.
At this time, parents must be very anxious and want to give the baby all-round care from head to toe. However, many young parents are inexperienced in child-rearing and various opinions are complicated. Skin care products for infants alone have many eyesight improvements and there is no way to start. What should I do?
Don’t worry, according to the characteristics of different parts, I’ll tell you some nursing tips to keep the baby’s skin tender and smooth in autumn and winter.
1. Little Face Care
Clean skin: In autumn and winter, the baby’s sebum secretion decreases, and washing too much will make the skin drier. Therefore, to master the frequency of washing face, it is enough to wash 2-3 times a day, and the water temperature should not be too high.
When washing your face, you can use a small square towel of soft pure cotton. Do not use soap, nor do you need to use special sterilization or disinfectant. You should use mild skin cleaning products for infants.
Choose the appropriate moisturizing lotion: After washing the baby’s small face, immediately use a soft and dry towel to absorb the excess water on the baby’s face, then pat a drop of soybean-sized skin care moisturizing product and gently knead it evenly, so as to effectively lock the skin moisture.
Because the baby’s facial skin is much thinner than that of adults, it is very important to choose a special moisturizer for the baby!
Baoma should try to choose regular brands, simple ingredients, no essence and products that are not easy to sensitize when choosing moisturizing lotion.
It is suggested to smell the smell first and look at the ingredients of the product. It is most suitable to have no special rich and stimulating fragrance. When the baby adapts to a certain lotion, it should not be replaced frequently to avoid causing allergy.
Reasonable diet: In dry seasons, the first thing to do is, of course, to give your baby more warm boiled water.
At the same time, more foods rich in vitamin A and vitamin B2 should be supplemented, such as animal liver (no more than 25g per week for children under the age of three), milk, eggs, soybeans, carrots, green leafy vegetables, etc. Vitamin C should be supplemented in time, and coarse grains, such as corn and sweet potatoes, should be properly eaten, so that the baby’s skin will be moist and healthy.
2. Small lip care
Pay attention to cleaning: When the baby finishes eating, he should clean his lips and apply lipstick in time.
Use Children’s Lipstick: Before the baby goes to bed, apply hot towel to his lips until his lips completely absorb water, and then apply baby-specific lipstick.
It is suggested that Baoma should carry a lip balm with her. Children’s lip balm containing vitamin E, sheep oil and other moisturizing ingredients is the most ideal and should be applied when the baby’s lips are dry.
Don’t lick your lips: Help your baby to form a good habit of lip protection, don’t lick your lips casually, and don’t let your baby tear the skin off your lips.
3. Care of small hands and feet
Keeping warm is the foundation: when it is cold, you should add clothes to your baby in time. You should not go out for too long. You’d better wear a hat and gloves when you go out.
Check whether the baby’s underwear, shoes and socks are wet every day. If it is wet, dry it immediately and change clothes. After washing hands, you can dry your small hands and apply some hand cream.
Proper exercise: Many parents are not willing to take their babies out of the house when the weather gets cold, which is wrong. Proper outdoor exercise is conducive to increasing the baby’s resistance.
If you are afraid that your baby will catch cold, you can take him out when the weather is clear, and at the same time you can exercise with your baby, which is conducive to strengthening the blood circulation of your small hands and feet and increasing your ability to keep out the cold. Proper sun exposure is also helpful for the synthesis of vitamins A and D and helps babies supplement calcium.
Massage hands and feet: If you go out for too long, your mother can also help your baby rub your hands and feet for about 5 minutes to strengthen blood circulation.
Treatment of chilblain: Once chilblain occurs, the baby will feel very itchy. And the more scratching, the more difficult the wound is, even the ulceration infection. Therefore, the baby must be treated in time after suffering from chilblain. When the wound has not festered, some vitamin E or chilblain cream can be applied. If the baby’s wound has blisters or ulcers, he should seek medical treatment in time.
In addition, vitamin E, such as sesame oil, nuts, egg yolk, etc., should also be supplemented in diet.
4. Nursing of Small Fart
Change diapers frequently: Because of the cold weather, the number of times Baoma changes diapers becomes less, which is easy to cause the baby’s red fart. Therefore, we should learn to judge whether diapers need to be changed, and when we are almost two years old, we should begin to train the baby to defecate and urinate, and cultivate good defecation habits.
Moderately clean small fart: Unless it’s poop, In fact, it is not necessary to clean the small fart every time you change diapers, which will destroy the natural protective film and acid-base balance on the skin and make the skin fragile. Use warm clear water to clean the fart every time. Attention should be paid to the front and back to prevent the female baby from urinary tract infection. After cleaning, you must dry the skin with soft cotton towel, especially the skin wrinkles.
Use of buttock cream: When the baby cleans the buttock or the buttock is slightly red, use buttock cream or emollient oil; However, when the baby’s skin is damaged or infected, he should go to the hospital for treatment.
5. Take a bath and pay attention to it.
Adjust the room temperature: Before bathing the baby, you can turn on the bath heater to preheat it for a period of time. It is more appropriate to control the temperature at 26 ~ 28 ℃, and the water temperature is 38 ~ 40 ℃. The temperature can be tested in the wrist.
Pay attention to the bathing sequence: the bathing sequence is: face-hair-behind ears-neck-upper limbs-armpits-trunk-buttocks-lower limbs-buttocks. When washing hair, wrap the baby’s body with a big bath towel, wipe the face first, then wash hair, and finally wash the body. You can choose the bath gel specially used for the baby, and especially clean the skin folds.
Control bathing time: bathing time should not be too long, control within 10 minutes. Immediately after washing, gently pat the baby’s body with bath towel, especially the skin wrinkles. If these parts are too wet, it may induce infant eczema. After that, apply skin lotion and wear good clothes.
After taking a bath, you can also give your baby a cup of warm hot water to make him feel warm from head to toe and from inside to outside.
Baoma noticed that there are several situations that are not suitable for bathing the baby: when the baby’s skin is damaged, such as impetigo, furuncle, scald, trauma, etc., less than half an hour after feeding milk, frequent vomiting and diarrhea, and after taking precautions.
