Is it good for babies to take baths frequently?

For newborn babies, parents and family members always take good care of them, fearing that they will be hurt in the slightest. They not only try their best to provide the best food, clothing and drink, but also keep learning and improving the care methods, hoping that their children will grow up healthily. In summer, not only adults feel that the weather is very hot, but babies also feel very hot and sweat. So the question is, is it good for babies to take a bath often? Can they take a bath every day like adults?

Bathing can clean the skin and reduce the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Gently rubbing the skin of infants and young children can help the skin breathe, accelerate blood circulation, and promote the growth and development of children.

Infants and young children sweat easily, urinate and defecate frequently, and have dirty skin. They should be bathed every day and 2-3 times a week in winter.

The best room temperature for bathing is 26-28℃, not lower than 22℃. There should be no convection draft indoors. The temperature of bath water should be maintained at 40-45℃. You can use an adult's elbow to test the water temperature, and it should be moderately hot. Each bath should not last more than 5-10 minutes. Use a soft, clean towel to wash your baby, and be gentle.

Start by washing the baby's head and face in a small basin. Use one hand to support the infant's head and neck, press the auricle with the thumb and middle finger to prevent water from flowing into the ears, and wash the head facing upwards. After using baby shampoo, wash it in a small basin first, then rinse it in a large basin and wipe the head dry. Then take off your clothes and take a shower. When bathing, place the baby's head on the adult's arm and support the baby's hips and back with your hands. First wash the neck, chest, abdomen, arms, hands, feet, and thighs, then turn over and wash the back and buttocks. Clean all wrinkles.

After washing, quickly wipe the moisture on the skin with a soft towel and apply an appropriate amount of powder on the body. The wrinkles of the neck, armpits and thighs are prone to sweat and moisture accumulation, so they should be applied especially. After taking a bath, infants and young children should be dressed in clean clothes as soon as possible to prevent them from catching a cold.

When bathing infants and young children, you can use baby bath gel or non-irritating soap, but you don’t have to use it every time you bathe them. Generally, it is sufficient to use it once a week. Infants and young children with eczema can only use clean water to avoid aggravating the eczema. You may wish to try the above methods, I wish your baby healthy and happy!
