Sweater weather, hot chocolate, celebrations and a whole day of hugs, winter brings many things to look forward to. Just like the other side of the coin, it even has its shortcomings-dry skin, flu season, etc. The baby’s skin is very sensitive and becomes very rough and dry in winter. It is important to treat dry skin and maintain a pH balance, otherwise it will cause redness, itching and eczema.
As the weather changes, you also need to change your skin care routine. Here are some simple ways to avoid these problems. Read on to learn how to help your child and keep their skin smooth and soft this winter
The baby's skin is very delicate; you need to be sure which product you are using. Try to choose natural and chemical-free face creams and moisturizers. If you notice any dry patches on your baby's skin, consult your doctor and use a thick lotion.
Winter is about stratification, especially when you go out. Wear an extra layer on your child, and then you will put on yourself. Choose clothes made of natural materials to prevent itching and redness.
In winter, your baby may not drink enough water. Check their water intake. Dehydration can also cause dry skin and chapped lips. If your baby’s lips are chapped, apply a little ghee on their lips and belly button. It nourishes them from the inside and prevents chapped lips. Give your baby more juice, soup, buttermilk, etc. in winter.
The baby's scalp is flaky, which is prone to inflammation in winter. Perform regular oil massages to prevent it and use natural shampoos to avoid further drying.
Bathing time is an important time in a baby's daily life. In winter, avoid giving it for too long; a warm bath can dry out the baby's skin. In winter, a short bath in warm water should solve the problem. For babies, you can even choose to wipe them with a sponge instead of bathing them every day. After bathing, apply a thick lotion and seal in moisture to lock in moisture.
Diaper rash is common in babies and tends to increase in winter. Wipe their inner parts between diaper changes, and if possible, keep them out of diapers for at least a few minutes between diaper changes. Don't forget to change your diapers regularly, because wet diapers are a hotbed of many infections.
These are just a few tips that can help you protect your baby from the skin conditions caused by harsh winters throughout the winter. It may seem a lot, but once you have a set of fixed procedures, you won't even realize the changes you have made to keep your baby's skin soft and supple.
