How to take care of a baby girl's private parts

Girls' private parts are relatively private. Whether for adults or children, the private parts are relatively private places. When there are problems with private hygiene, infection may also occur. You must pay attention to the hygiene and care of the private parts. The care methods are different for people of different age groups, and the same applies to baby girls. So how do you take care of a baby girl’s private parts?

1. Cleaning

When cleaning a girl's genitals, pay attention to the order and clean from top to bottom and from front to back. Just use a soft towel to gently clean the outer vaginal opening. Never wash the inside, as this may damage the delicate skin of the vagina. After washing, wipe dry the water in time to keep the vagina clean and fresh at all times.

2. Wipe off with a wet towel

Use a wet towel to slowly wipe away any dirt around your labia minora. Wipe clean even after urinating. You can fold the towel into a long thin strip and then slide it in the groove of the labia minora to wipe it. You can also use a cotton swab bought in the supermarket, dip it in water and wipe it gently.

3. Others

Dirt is also easily stuck in the gap between the thighs. The mother can use one hand to open the gap, and then gently wipe it with the other hand, and then put on the diaper after the baby's butt is completely dry. Some mothers have the habit of applying talcum powder to their baby's genitals, which is actually inappropriate. Talcum powder may mix with unwiped-off moisture and sweat and accumulate in the wrinkles of the skin, forming small particles, which may cause ulcers on the baby's delicate skin after rubbing against the skin.

4. Note

The care of the baby's private parts cannot be neglected. Because the baby is still young, many young parents often ignore the baby's genitals when taking care of the baby. But baby's genital care is very important, it determines the baby's health throughout his life. A girl's vagina is an external reproductive organ and also has an excretory function.
