New knowledge of mother and baby parenting, personal parenting manual for new mothers.

Recently the weather has started to turn cooler okay, but just a while ago, there was no air conditioning, even sitting can sweat. In this extremely hot weather, adults and can not stand it, bathing has naturally become one of the ways to relieve the heat.

Bathing your baby, on the one hand, allows TA to stay fresh in the hot weather, on the other hand, is also a daily cleaning way to keep your body clean. Because the baby's skin is delicate and too young, it is inevitable that contact with water will be dangerous. Therefore, baby bathing is also considered a top priority, as important as eating.

However, Xiaoguojun found that few parents seem to regard baby bathing as a Parenting Station matter of priority. In their consciousness, baby bathing is just the whole process of undressing - dipping in water - smearing body wash - washing.

However, almost every year, Xiaoguojun will see some news reports about the cases of tragedies caused by parents' momentary negligence when bathing their babies...

Here, Xiaoguojun reminds you that when giving a baby a bath, do not commit some basic taboo issues. Parents must pay attention to the bath and change the bad habits when bathing the baby.

Taboo to the baby bath.

Taboo 1:Leave midway.

Many parents do not prepare for the baby bath, a moment to get a toy, a moment to get a towel, thinking that only a short walk will not be a problem.

However, many accidents happen in an instant, especially younger babies, easy to drown. Even older babies are at risk of falling.

Therefore, the preparations before giving your baby a bath must be in place, towels and clothes are placed where you can get them by hand, and never leave in the middle!

Taboo 2:Frequent use of body wash.

Infant skin is thinner than adults, and the thickness of the epidermal stratum corneum of children is about one-third thinner than that of adults. Frequent use of body wash may damage the delicate skin of infants. For newborns, the oil on their skin can play a protective role and they do not need body wash.

Therefore, we don't need to over-clean our babies, using body wash every few days is enough.

Taboo 3: During hunger . After the meal (within 30 minutes) both bath.

When Xiao Guojun was a child, she grew up with her grandmother. I remember she often reminded me that when I was hungry, I should eat first instead of bathing. I should wait a while to digest before eating. Now that little Gojun is grown up, she still remembers it firmly.

You can't take a bath when you are hungry because when people are hungry, the body will protect itself and the amount of circulating blood on the body surface will be relatively small. This time to the baby bath, may lead to cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, resulting in dizziness and even fainting.

In addition, just after eating, the body's blood circulation is concentrated in the digestive system. Bathing at this time will affect the normal operation of the digestive system, which may cause bloating, vomiting and other symptoms.

Taboo 4:High water temperature.

Some parents like to use the higher temperature water to baby bath, think hotter bath more comfortable.

But the baby's skin is delicate, the water temperature should not be too high, it is more appropriate to keep it at about 38 ℃, that is, the hand can feel slightly higher than the body temperature. If you are not sure whether the water temperature is appropriate, use a thermometer to measure safer.

The correct way to give your baby a bath.

Do not exceed 10 minutes, and the action should be brisk.

Special attention should be paid to the fact that the entire bathing process should not last too long. After all, the baby is exposed for too long easy to catch a cold and get sick, it is best to keep the whole time of bathing within 10 minutes.

This requires parents to be not only light and fast when bathing their babies, but more importantly, to be gentle all the time. Do not lose your temper because the baby does not cooperate, otherwise it will only make the baby more nervous and scared.

The head is slightly raised and the body is tilted downward.

When bathing your baby, be sure to avoid water flowing into your baby's eyes, nose and ears, especially the ears. Once water enters, it can easily cause otitis media.

So to be on the safe side, you can use the principle of water flowing down by lifting the baby's head slightly and tilting the baby's body downward so that the water will flow down.

When it is necessary to rinse the baby's little head, be sure to fold the baby's left and right ear with your thumb and index finger, or stuff some cotton in the baby's ear to waterproof it.

Water temperature of about 38°C is appropriate.

Be sure to pay attention to the temperature of your baby's bath and don't let your baby catch a cold, but don't be too careful either. General water temperature of 38 ℃ is more appropriate. Of course, parents can also put the back of the hand or wrist into the water to avoid feeling scalded.

Never think that a hot bath is good, adjust the water temperature to a particularly high. Babies have delicate skin, so if the water temperature is too high, it is easy to burn the baby's delicate skin.

Shower is more hygienic.

Compared with tub baths, showers are more hygienic and convenient, and are suitable for children over 2 to 3 years old. However, every baby has a different level of acceptance of standing in the shower, so parents should not be too hasty and can slowly guide their babies to learn to stand in the shower.

But it is worth noting that the water pressure should not be too high at first, so that the baby slowly accept the water sprayed on their own body in the shower.
