Is it okay for babies to take a bath every day in winter?

In order to make their children clean every day, some parents bathe their children every day, fearing that their children will have problems if they are not clean for a day. Therefore, bathing has become a common practice for children. However, this bathing method is abnormal for many people. They feel that bathing children every day will not only cause them to catch a cold, but also worry that they will suffer from skin diseases. So is it good for babies to bathe every day in winter?

In winter, the number of times children take a bath should be reduced accordingly. Be careful not to let the water temperature be too high, 35℃-39℃ is best. At the same time, it is not necessary to use shower gel every time.

The water temperature for bathing is preferably 35℃-39℃

On the surface of the skin, there is a lipid film that is difficult for people to observe with their eyes, called the sebum film, which can keep the skin moderately flexible and moisturized.

If the water temperature is too high, it will damage the skin's "acid mantle" and sebum film, making the skin dry, flaky and thinner, so 35℃-39℃ is appropriate.

If your skin is dry, you should take fewer showers.

The weather is cold in winter, and infants and young children are obviously less active than in summer, so their sweating and sebum secretion are not as vigorous, so they should not bathe too frequently.

During infancy (especially within three months), sebum secretion is high, and sebum accumulation can be seen on the top of the head, eyebrows, and around the nose, and even forms many greasy scabs. At this time, you should take a bath every day to remove sebum, dirt and dust in time to prevent secondary infection.

The age of 2-10 years old is the period when the sebum content on the skin surface is the lowest, so the skin is very easy to lose moisture. The skin is often drier, the pores become more keratinized, and sometimes it may feel itchy. In autumn and winter, the number of bathing should be reduced, and 2-3 times a week is appropriate.

Babies don't have to use bath gel every time

Because infants and young children's skin has weak resistance to exogenous stimuli, and sweating and sebum secretion are not vigorous during winter activities, it is not necessary to use bath gel every time they bathe. You can gently scrub with your hands or gauze. Children should usually choose mild soaps and bath gels, preferably those with moisturizing effects.

In fact, there is no need to bathe children every day in winter. It is not good for children to bathe every day, as it may affect the child's skin. If the child is not smelly or dirty, it is best not to bathe him in this case. When bathing the child, you need to consider the child's condition. In winter, children should not wear too many clothes, as this will easily make them sweat.
