How to prevent babies from getting prickly heat in summer?

In summer, the weather is very hot. If the mother does not take care of the child during this period, it is easy for the child to have prickly heat. If the child has prickly heat, the body will feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, parents must understand some methods to prevent the baby from getting prickly heat. This can reduce the discomfort caused by the baby's lungs. I hope the editor’s introduction below will be helpful to you.

Babies are prone to prickly heat in hot and humid conditions. Therefore, turn your baby over more often when he is sleeping, and don't always hold him in your arms during the day. You can put him on a cool mat in a ventilated place for him to play. The room must be ventilated to dissipate heat and reduce the baby's sweating.

If your baby sweats, wipe him dry immediately and give him a bath several times a day. If your child sweats, wipe him/her clean with a tissue or towel. Taking more showers not only cleans your skin but also helps to eliminate sweat. Wash two or three times a day with warm water and dry immediately after bathing.

The clothes that babies wear in summer should be light, soft and loose. It is best to use absorbent and breathable pure cotton clothes, which are conducive to the dissipation of body heat and the absorption of sweat, reducing the impact on the baby's skin.

In summer, do not hold your baby in your arms for a long time. Holding your baby in your arms for a long time in summer will increase the chance of your baby getting prickly heat. Take your baby to a ventilated and cool place to play.

Bathe your baby 2 to 3 times a day and dry his skin. You can add toilet water, honeysuckle water, etc. to the water for bathing. If your baby has prickly heat, you should avoid using hot water or soap to wash the affected area.

When the baby is sleeping, cover him/her with just a thin sheet; turn the baby over appropriately when he/she is sleeping.

Note: If your baby has prickly heat, you can apply some prickly heat powder after taking a bath. If there is an infection, you can use some antibiotic ointment.

The editor reminds parents that it is best to cut the baby's hair short during this period. This will not only keep the baby cooler, but also reduce the chance of prickly heat. I hope that after the editor's introduction above, parents should know how to take preventive measures in summer to prevent the baby from getting prickly heat. The editor wishes your baby better and better health.
