4 errors every mother made when bathing babies makes her cold, vomiting, the most harmful 4

1. Bathe your baby every day

Some parents believe that children should be bathed regularly so that bacteria and viruses cannot penetrate the young body. In fact, babies are very "clean" and have little sweat.

Therefore, she does not need to bathe children every day. Moreover, mothers should pay attention to the selection of alkaline shower gel for children. Because using shower gel will change the pH on young skin, making it easier for bacteria to enter the baby's body. Besides, proper bacteria can help boost your baby's immunity.

Therefore, parents do not need to bathe babies every day. In the hot summer, you can bathe your baby once a day or two days a day if the weather is cold. For babies, you can bathe your baby every 3 days.

2. Bath for too long

For me to be clean, many mothers often bathe for a long time. However, this is a serious mistake. Bathing your baby for too long not only dehydrates your baby's skin, causing the child's skin to dry out but also peels off the skin, affecting the sebum secretion of the child. Ideally, you should bathe your child for 10 minutes. For babies under 1 month old, you should bathe for 5 minutes. The older the child, the longer you can take a bath, but you should not take it for too long.

3. Water temperature is relatively high

Many parents often do not accurately measure the temperature of bath water for children but often only feel by hand. They also only feel the water temperature in the pelvic surface while the water temperature in the pelvic and perineum surfaces is different. If the water temperature is too high, the baby may feel uncomfortable, even burn. Therefore, she needs to accurately measure her bath water temperature with a thermometer. It should be noted that the best bath temperature for babies is 38 ~ 40 ° C and the water temperature should be felt by the palm.

4. Feed your baby immediately after bathing

You should not breastfeed your baby before bathing. Feeding your baby before bathing affects your child's digestive system and so does your baby's feeding after bathing. After bathing, the baby's peripheral blood vessels dilate, leading to a decrease in the blood supply in her body. At this time, if the mother gives the baby immediate feeding, the blood will be transferred to the child's gastrointestinal tract immediately, causing the temperature in the baby's body to decrease, the baby will feel cold. Therefore, after bathing, you should not feed your baby immediately. Instead, after bathing, you should give your baby some warm water.
