Is it good for babies to take a bath every day?

Mothers still need to pay more attention to the baby's health and even daily life. After all, these will affect the healthy growth of the child. It is important to develop a good habit from an early age. However, the frequency of bathing still depends on the age. For example, the skin of a newborn baby is very tender, so it is better not to bathe too frequently. So is it good for the baby to bathe every day?

There is absolutely no need to bathe your baby every day, especially for newborns. Because bathing will make the newborn exhausted; scrubbing with soap will remove the oil on the surface of its skin, and this layer of oil plays an important role in keeping the baby warm, preventing infection and external stimulation, and cannot be replaced by any other refined oil.

It is enough to bathe infants and young children twice a week in winter and three times a week in summer. It is best to do it before meals, the water temperature should be around 36 degrees Celsius, and the room temperature should not be lower than 20 degrees Celsius. Do not let your child stay in the water for too long, and the baby should not stay in the water for more than 5 minutes. When bathing your baby, pay attention to keeping him warm and safe. It is best to bathe with clean water, and each bath should not exceed 10 minutes.

Babies' skin is different from adults'. Their skin is thinner and more delicate. Bathing them every day can indeed keep them clean, but it may also cause dry skin. Especially for children with dry skin, soaking in water every day may cause the skin to become dehydrated, drier, and even peeling. If you bathe your child for too long, the outermost stratum corneum of the skin will absorb water and become soft, reducing the skin's resistance. In addition, you don’t have to use shower gel every time you bathe your child. Just wash with clean water.

There is a layer of oil on the outside of children's skin, which plays an important role in keeping the skin moisturized, reducing external irritation and keeping warm. Many shower gels are alkaline, which will destroy this layer of oil and easily make the skin dry and rough. Repeatedly rubbing the body with shower gel may cause sensitive skin in severe cases. Therefore, if the child is not too dirty, there is no need to wash him every day. It can be washed every one or two days depending on the specific situation. Bath gel can be used once a week. If you need to take a shower every day when the weather is hot, just rinsing with clean water will be enough.

I believe that from the above introduction, everyone is very clear about whether it is good for the baby to take a bath every day. The correct bathing method is still very important for the baby. It is necessary to avoid irritation and damage to the skin, keep the body clean and hygienic, and prevent colds. Therefore, it is a good idea to choose the best time to take a bath.
