Is it really suitable for newborns to take a bath every day?

The birth of a baby undoubtedly brings us a sense of happiness as parents. However, happiness is often mixed with worries. As we are first-time mothers, the baby's every move affects us. Moreover, new parents cannot figure out the baby's habits, and they always have to be cautious when taking care of the baby. Nowadays, mothers are all focused on taking care of their children and make the babies very clean and tidy, and take a bath almost every day. So, is it suitable for newborns to take a bath every day? The following is an introduction to you.

The keratinized layer of newborn skin is thin, the surface lacks lysozyme, the subcutaneous blood vessels are abundant, the sweat glands secrete vigorously, and the urination and defecation are frequent. If newborns are not bathed and skin care is not done regularly, these harmful metabolites will constantly irritate the skin, especially the skin folds such as the neck, behind the ears, armpits, groin, and buttocks, which are prone to skin ulcers or infections. Therefore, it is very important to take a bath and change clothes frequently to keep your skin clean. However, because the skin of newborns is thin and has a high absorption and permeability, care should be taken to avoid using irritating and easily absorbed drugs or soaps when applying medicines or bathing to prevent poisoning or allergies.

1. The newborn baby should be washed every day to make the baby feel a relatively comfortable environment after leaving the mother's amniotic fluid;

2. When the baby is a little older, you can bathe the baby 2 or 3 times a week when the baby sweats a lot and the temperature is high, and choose a room temperature of about 28 degrees. Normally, you can bathe the baby once a week to ensure cleanliness. It should be noted that you should try to use clean water to bathe the baby, and use bath products for the baby no more than once a week.

In fact, the cleanliness of babies is not much different from that of adults. Although babies are very active, their environment is actually much cleaner. Usually, they mainly exude sweat. In addition, the area around the baby's genitals needs to be cleaned with clean water every day for the sake of health.

The above are some instructions on whether newborns can take a bath every day. Since the skin of a newborn baby is very delicate, if you bathe the baby every day, make sure not to rub the baby's skin hard. The water temperature should be moderate and the baby should be taken out of the water as quickly as possible to avoid unnecessary harm caused by frequent bathing. I wish your baby good health and healthy growth!
