What to apply to newborn babies with prickly heat

Whenever the weather is hot in summer, newborns will get prickly heat on their bodies, which will make them very uncomfortable. They will cry and scratch with their hands all the time. This will leave many scars on their skin, which will affect their future growth and development. After all, the skin of newborns is relatively delicate, so it is best to use prickly heat powder or prickly heat water to relieve the symptoms when it occurs.

First of all , parents should be careful not to use floral water directly to wipe the baby's skin, because floral water contains alcohol, which is very irritating to the baby's skin. The baby's skin is still very delicate. Using floral water may cause the baby unbearable pain and make the baby cry even more.

Secondly , babies may get prickly heat because their clothes are too thick and not breathable, so when babies get prickly heat, make sure to let the baby breathe. The baby's room should also be ventilated and kept cool as much as possible.

Again , mothers should pay attention to keeping their babies clean. Mothers should bathe their babies and wipe off the water droplets on their babies to keep their bodies dry. In addition, mothers can use some special baby powder to calm and relieve itching for babies.

Finally , mothers can also add a few drops of floral water to the bath water when bathing their baby, and then wash the baby's body. When mixed with bath water, it will not irritate the skin of infants and young children, and it can also play a good anti-inflammatory role.

Prickly heat powder is made of talcum powder, zinc oxide, salicylic acid, sulfur, menthol and other spices. It is mainly used to absorb sweat and keep the body dry, thereby preventing prickly heat.

The various herbal active ingredients in prickly heat powder can help relieve the baby's skin discomfort such as itching caused by prickly heat and insect bites, and can gently relieve itching, prevent and eliminate prickly heat. Moreover, the menthol in the baby powder is mild in nature and can make the baby's skin feel soothed and smooth, while also feeling the soft and comfortable summer coolness.

In addition , compared with talcum powder, prickly heat powder has more natural ingredients and is relatively more suitable for baby's skin. For example, the natural corn starch in baby powder is a more delicate plant-based powder that can effectively reduce the friction between the baby's skin and the external environment. It can also absorb excess moisture and is gentle and non-irritating to use. It can keep the baby's skin dry for a longer period of time, and avoid the harm to the baby's body caused by talc contained in traditional baby powder.
