Summer baby bathing strategy: water temperature, frequency, time, forbidden area
The water temperature is 37-39℃
In summer, generally choose 37 ~ 39 degrees of water to bathe your baby, which will dilate your baby's skin sweat glands and skin blood vessels, and also help your skin remove dirt. Both warm water bath and hot water bath can remove skin dirt, relax muscles, dissipate heat and relieve summer heat. Avoid bathing your baby with water temperature above 40 degrees in summer.
Take a bath 2-3 times.
There is no absolute number of times. Let's decide according to the weather and the baby's situation. In summer, you usually bathe your baby 2 ~ 3 times a day. Because the baby's skin is tender, bathing is frequent in summer, so try not to use bath products, just use water every time to avoid rubbing and damaging the baby's skin. Bathing time is generally 5 ~ 10 minutes.
Bath time
Baby bathing time should be arranged between breastfeeding. Avoid taking a bath when the baby is too hungry to avoid crying; It is not advisable to take a bath immediately after breastfeeding, which not only affects digestion, but also may cause galactorrhea or spitting. You can take a bath before breastfeeding 1 hour or after breastfeeding 1 hour. In order not to make the baby tired when taking a bath, please avoid taking a bath for a long time and try to control it within 10 minutes.
Can't take a shower.
Children are unwell, such as refusing milk, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, severe cough, etc., so it is not advisable to take a bath to avoid aggravating the condition. In addition, don't take a bath within 3 days after the baby finishes the vaccine to avoid pinhole infection; The baby has skin damage, such as impetigo, furuncle, scald, trauma, etc. Therefore, it is not appropriate to take a bath at this time. So as not to spread or contaminate the wound surface.
