Before the baby comes into this world, parents are already waiting anxiously, eagerly looking forward to the arrival of their little ones. Many mothers also want to make a pair of comfortable and cute shoes for their children, but they don’t know how big the feet of a newborn baby are? So, how big are the feet of a newborn baby? Let’s take a look at it together below!

Newborn babies' feet are generally very small, about 5-6cm, but some babies are born larger, maybe 7-8cm, but this is too rare. Some premature babies may be only around 4cm. There is no fixed size.

It is also very important to pay more attention to the care of your baby's feet.

Qingshui SPA: Personal hygiene for little feet Maintaining good personal hygiene is beneficial to physical and mental health. As a part of the baby's body, the little feet also need to maintain personal hygiene every day.

(1) Wash the baby’s feet with warm water. Even in the hot summer, do not wash the baby’s feet directly with cold water, as this can easily cause the baby to catch a cold.

(2) Even for baby’s sweaty feet, soap should not be used to clean them frequently, because soap will cause the skin to lose moisture, which is harmful to the baby’s delicate skin.

(3) After cleaning the soles and soles of the feet, use a pure cotton towel or cotton swab dipped in warm water to clean between the baby's toes.

(4) Finally, wipe the baby’s feet dry with a dry towel.

(5) After bathing, don’t forget to check your toenails, as they are the perfect place for bacteria to lurk. Babies' toenails grow very fast and need to be trimmed every 4-5 days. Use baby-specific nail clippers to cut along the line of the toenail, leaving no burrs. Round the edges after cutting to prevent the small edges from causing harm to the baby.

However, every child is different, so there will definitely be a certain deviation. Mothers can make them bigger first so that their children can wear them in the future.
