Baby scratches his head when sleeping at night

Newly upgraded prospective parents still know very little about their children. Parents who lack relevant parenting knowledge are always happy and worried about their children's every move. This situation of being a first-time mother or first-time father is believed to be an experience shared by many people. Some netizens said that their children like to grab their hair with their hands when they go to bed at night. They don’t know what this situation is, nor do they know how to prevent it. Let’s talk about it below!

If your baby often scratches his hair, the first thing parents need to consider is whether the baby has a problem with the skin on his head. It is recommended to wash the baby's hair first and then observe. If the problem persists after washing the hair, it is recommended that parents take the baby to the dermatology department of a regular hospital for treatment. It is best to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment!

In midsummer, babies are most likely to be bitten by mosquitoes and experience itching. Parents must pay attention and handle it properly if this happens! If the baby is bitten, the mother should first teach the baby not to scratch it with her hands. You can flick the baby with your fingers first, and then apply some cooling oil, peppermint essential oil or floral water to reduce swelling and itching. But be careful not to apply it directly, it must be diluted. Because these floral waters generally contain high concentrations of irritating ingredients that can easily harm the baby's skin, they need to be diluted with 5 times the amount of water.

You can also apply soapy water to your baby at home, which can not only relieve itching but also gradually eliminate redness and swelling. Because the sodium salt of fatty acids in soap becomes alkaline after hydrolysis, and mosquito saliva is acidic, the combination of acid and alkali can quickly eliminate pain and itching.

Of course, in addition to taking emergency measures after the baby is bitten, mothers should also take mosquito prevention measures for the baby, keep the house clean, bathe and change clothes for the baby frequently, and reduce sweat odor, which can reduce mosquito bites. In addition, you can also adjust your baby's diet by eating more vegetables and foods rich in vitamin B# to appropriately change your baby's physique, keep mosquitoes away from your baby, and have a safe and comfortable summer.
