The baby's skin is very tender and sensitive. It requires daily careful care. To keep your baby's skin clean will help our advice.
WE PASS THE NEGINE
• The most common procedure during the day is changing the diaper. This should be done every 3-3.5 hours.
• Remove the old diaper, wash the child under running water (girls must necessarily be washed from front to back, so as not to accidentally put the infection in the genitals).
• Dry the buttocks and legs of the baby with a diaper.
• If the baby has irritation, redness, apply a thin layer of cream under the diaper. • If you can not wash the baby at the moment, use a wet wipe.
NODSTRIGAEMY THE STEM
• See if the nails are too long on the baby's handles and legs.
• Cut nails with special children's scissors with rounded ends.
• On the handles of the nails need to cut round, on the legs - straight.
• Try not to cut your nails too short.
WE BUILD THE BATH
• Bathe the baby daily.
• In the first month of the life of the baby, add a weak solution of potassium permanganate (manganese) or a decoction of chamomile into the water.
• To bathe a child with special detergents (for example, foam) and to wash his head with shampoo should not be done very often, only once a week.
CHECK FOR THE DAIRY
• Inspect the baby's mouth: if a white coating appears on the mucosa, these are manifestations of thrush that need to be removed.
• To do this, prepare an alkaline solution: 1 teaspoon of soda dissolve in a glass of boiled water.
• Take a cotton swab, dab it in a solution and treat the baby's mouth.
• If these actions do not help, you need to consult a pediatrician who will prescribe medications to treat thrush.
NO FALSE!
• Inspect the axillary cavities, inguinal folds, neck, bends of elbows and knees - there is no accumulation of secretions.
• If necessary, treat these areas with wet wipes.
• If there is redness, irritation, use special cosmetics.
DAILY MORNING TOILET
• In the morning, wash the baby's face with warm running water.
• Cotton swabs soaked in boiled water, wipe the baby's eyes in the direction from the outer corner of the eye to the nose. For each eye, use a separate tampon.
• Wet cotton wicks in baby oil and squeeze well. With cautious twisting movements, clean the child's nasal passages, remove crusts, accumulated mucus. Use for these purposes, cotton buds are undesirable - by negligence you can injure a delicate little spout of crumbs.
