Tips to prevent your baby from scratching his face

Many of a baby's behaviors are unconscious, so the baby does not know what will hurt himself. Some babies get a lot of bacteria on their hands because they scratch and touch things randomly. But babies don’t care about these and scratch their faces with their hands infected with bacteria. If they accidentally scratch their faces, the wound will also be infected with bacteria. Here are some tips to prevent babies from scratching their faces.

Pay attention to the hygiene of your baby's hands

When the baby is about two months old, the baby's hand activities will increase significantly, and he may also suck his thumb. Therefore, at this time, it is best for the mother to take good care of the baby's hygiene. Remember not to wash your baby's hands with soap, as that will destroy the acidic protective film on the baby's skin surface. Mothers should use special baby hand sanitizer. As for the brand, it depends on the parents' personal preferences.

Pay attention to the water temperature when washing your baby's hands. Many parents don’t know how to control the water temperature when washing their babies’ hands. The water temperature should be kept between 20°C and 25°C. If there is no thermometer at home, parents can estimate it by hand. Usually parents put the back of their hands in the water to feel the water temperature. If the water doesn't feel hot, then it's ok.

Baby's nails must be cut

It is best not to cut the baby's nails when he is moving. It is inconvenient and may hurt the child. It is best to wait until the child is asleep, so that his hand movements are reduced, he will be quieter, and the chance of injury will be smaller. It is best to cut your nails from the middle to the sides so that you have a reference. After cutting the nails, remember to grind the baby's nails so that the nails will not have edges and corners, and the baby will not scratch his face again.

Stop using the old method to prevent your child from scratching his face and try this new method.

Parenting Tips

1. Letting children live in a humorous environment is the best way to cultivate their sense of humor. Parents who live with their children every day are in the best position to sow the seeds of humor in their children, bring novelty and fun to them, and allow them to accept their parents' guidance happily and effectively.

2. Be full of confidence and have a positive and optimistic attitude.

The psychological basis of humor is an optimistic and positive attitude. We should cultivate children's ability to resist frustration, not be afraid of failure, and see the positive side of things, instead of being always pessimistic and disappointed.

3. Rich language expression skills.

Having a rich vocabulary helps in expressing humorous ideas. If the vocabulary is poor and the expressive power of the language is too poor, then the humorous effect cannot be achieved. Parents can tell their children more humorous stories, witty stories, brain teasers, etc. to train their children's thinking agility and enrich their vocabulary.

Summary: Once a child's sense of humor is formed, it will have an important impact on his or her life. Children with a sense of humor are mostly cheerful and lively. They are often more liked by everyone and have much better interpersonal relationships than children without a sense of humor. Humor can also help children better cope with the stress and pain in life and study. Therefore, humorous children tend to be happier and smarter, can complete their studies more easily, and even have an optimistic and joyful life.
