The shower also depends on [timing]? Five Cases of Babies Not Suitable for Bathing

Babies like water very much. As soon as they enter the bathtub/tub, they have a great time playing and wish they could not come out for an hour.

Needless to say, parents must all know the benefits of bathing, but it is also necessary to [see the timing] to bathe her baby. Today, Clove Mother invited pediatrician Wang Qiuhua to talk about when it is really not suitable to bathe her baby.

Don’t take a bath when you are sleepy

[Take a bath and sleep] Adults sometimes have the experience that it is comfortable to get into the quilt after taking a bath.

However, what you may forget is that after taking a bath, you mostly play with your mobile phone and watch videos in bed and do not fall asleep immediately.

Why not recommend the baby to take a bath when he is sleepy? Bathing will accelerate the body circulation, increase the heart rate, increase the blood pressure and increase the brain temperature, which are all opposite to the state during slow wave sleep.

In other words, the most likely result is that the more the child washes, the more awake he will be, and the more he will not be able to sleep.

Don’t take a bath when you are hungry

When the baby is hungry, the body protects itself instinctively. Energy and blood circulation focus on important organs (such as brain, heart, etc.). At this time, the circulating blood volume on the body surface is less than usual.

If you take a hot bath at this time, it will expand the peripheral blood vessels, accelerate the blood circulation on the body surface, reduce the blood of the heart, brain and other important organs, and may lead to dizziness and even syncope due to ischemia and hypoxia.

If the cycle accelerates, the energy consumption will also increase. Babies who are hungry and have weak sugar storage capacity are prone to hypoglycemia and fainting.

Playing with water consumes heat, this sentence is reasonable.

Don’t take a bath after you have just eaten.

Contrary to being hungry, babies are not recommended to take a bath if they are just full.

When you are just full, the blood circulation of the human body is concentrated in the digestive system. If you take a bath at this time, the peripheral blood vessels will expand and the circulation on the body surface will accelerate, then the digestive system will not work well and gastrointestinal discomfort, such as abdominal distension and vomiting, may occur.

Therefore, it is better to wait for the baby to finish eating [digestion elimination] and play with the child before taking a bath.

Don’t take a bath when your baby vomits and diarrhea.

Babies are weak when vomiting and diarrhea are severe. Bathing in this state may increase basal metabolic rate, causing discomfort, even syncope and hypoglycemia due to ischemia and hypoxia of important organs.

Don’t take risks just because you don’t eat for the sake of temporary cleanliness. If you think your baby is dirty, you can wipe it with a warm towel and wash it after your baby’s symptoms improve.

Can the baby wash his fever?

Fever when taking a bath actually has little effect, pay attention to avoid catching cold suddenly when taking a bath or after taking a bath. But to be honest, if you want to use warm water bath to reduce fever, it is of little significance. The purpose of physical cooling is to make the child not uncomfortable. The duration of warm water bath is short, and the temperature difference between questions is too large, which is likely to increase the discomfort of the baby.

Don’t take a bath when your skin is seriously damaged.

The baby’s skin has a wound. It is not recommended to take a bath when the damage is large, so as not to pollute the wound after soaking in water and affect the healing.

If the wound is not large, it is also possible to take a bath by applying waterproof application to protect the wound externally, but pay attention not to move too much and avoid rubbing at the wound.

However, there is one exception, that is, after vaccination, the baby’s vaccine wound area is also very small, just as large as the needle eye, it will heal soon, bathing will not cause wound infection, so there is no need to be too nervous.
