Since birth, spend with a crisp morning procedure. First, you will gradually accustom it to cleanliness, give it hygienic skills. Secondly, you will provide both yourself and the baby with a good mood for the whole day ... if everything is planned well.
Baby-neck
Did the karapuz sleep soundly through the night? Well done! So he's healthy, not hungry, and ... in a quality diaper. Only this morning you will not need this attribute of infancy. At least for a while. Let the baby's skin breathe - take an air bath (if it hiccups, then it's frozen and you need to wear it)! However, to do everything consistently. Remove the diaper from the baby. Wash it with warm flowing water (movement of the hand from the genitals to the anus). Then get wet with a towel and take it to a changing table. Here, with good lighting, you have the opportunity to carefully examine the wrinkles (have there been any irritations, a pimple?), To process the navel (if the baby does not have a month) thanks to the care of a small newborn baby.
Vodichka, water, wash the baby
Remember the lines of K. Chukovsky: "We must, we must wash ourselves in the mornings and evenings ..."? This is the next item in your morning schedule. You can wash the baby's face with cool water from the tap or rub your forehead, chin, eyes with a wet sponge, but there is another option - medical washing. It is shown to infants with white eel (milium) on the face, which arise from the blockage of the sebaceous glands. Do the little ones have a sour eye? Use the same medical cleansers. Just do not forget that for each eye, you need a separate cotton pad. Zavari 2 tbsp. spoons of calendula flowers in 1 liter of boiling water. Let it brew for about 30 minutes. Warm broth strain and pour into a bowl to care for a small newborn baby. In advance, put the container near the changing table (in any case, do not leave a babe unattended on it!). With this decoction wipe the face of the crumbs with cotton pads.
Clean the spout
Often in the spout, small children are formed crusts. This is due to the droplets of milk, microscopic dust particles. Of course, they interfere with normal breathing. If a similar problem has arisen and your baby - cleanse his nasal passages. How to do it? First, to soften the crusts, drip a spout with sea water (Aqua-Maris, Salin, Humer) or saline solution. A few droplets in each nasal passage will be enough. Now wait a couple of minutes. Twist two thin wadded flagella for each nostril. Slightly moisten them in boiled water and gently toss it in the bow. All crusts should remain on the cotton wool. From the first time did not work out? Nothing, try again! You can do it!
We do not need to scratch anything.
Experienced moms know how sharp the nails are in newborns and how fast they grow, so you should do good to care for a small newborn baby. And how many problems are delivered! .. However, you can cope with this trouble. Often, the procedure prevents the fear of my mother to damage the baby's tiny fingers with sharp scissors. Still, there is something to worry about: the kid does not lie quietly - turns, twitches ... So your fears are far from groundless. How to get rid of fear? There are several excellent proven recipes. Buy a children's manicure set. There are safe scissors - with rounded edges, so that the possibility of injury is reduced to almost zero. And the set includes special nippers (they are convenient to do a pedicure!). "Cut off the marigolds of a little son or daughter on the arms and legs while the baby is asleep (if you do it yourself) or with the help of the pope during the waking period (he will hold the handle, the leg of the crumbs, so that he does not jerk or interfere with it inadvertently) . You do not have to cut the marigolds daily, but only as they grow back (every three or four days). After a few procedures, you stop fearing hurting your child.
And the crumb will soon get used to the fact that manicure and pedicure is a responsible thing.
Ears on the vertex
When sulfur secretions accumulate in the ear shells (usually brownish), you need to clean the baby's ears. Just never do this procedure with the usual cotton buds! Once in five to seven days, use for this purpose special children's, with a limiter. Such precisely will not be able to injure the tympanic membrane.
If you clean your ears more often than once a week, it is better to use cotton buddies (twist two dense small pieces of sterile cotton wool). Clean the outer part of the ear canal with a flagella. The ear still has sulfur, and the turundock is already dirty? Have to prepare a couple more and put them to use (while you are fiddling with cotton wool, do not let the eye off the baby!). By the way, in order not to get distracted at this time, we advise you to twist the cotton buddies in advance and put them in a clean box or sachet. Do not carry them out of the nursery. Leave near the changing table.
Neat little head
Let your morning toilet finish ... hairdressing pleasures. No, you do not have to go anywhere in the literal sense of the word. You just need to do your hair son or daughter, and even in the case when the head of the crumb is just an airy fuzz. So, care consists of several stages.
Stroke the baby's head with your hands (in no case do not press - remember the fontanel!) First in the direction from the forehead, temples to the back of the head, then vice versa.
Stimulation of hair growth
Take a soft brush with natural bristles (only this will suit a newborn!) And gently work it. Do not overdo it! The head skin of the children is very tender (remember the fontanel!)
We end the session with the most beautiful hairdo. First comb with rare teeth, and then with large (preferably wooden!) Comb the hairs of the crumbs in one direction, after - in the other. And how will the kid look with the middle part? .. Do you like it, Mummy? Still would! You were great as a master! Hurry to the mirror! Let the karapuz on himself admire. Morning procedures are over.
