What to do if your newborn scratches his face

Everyone knows that newborns are naughty little troublemakers. Newborns are very curious and are curious about everything in the outside world. Therefore, it is very troublesome to take care of such newborns. You can neither negate the child’s nature nor indulge the child. However, some newborns are also very curious about their own bodies. Some newborns will scratch their faces. So, what should you do if a newborn scratches his face?

Adults often rub their eyes when they wake up or feel sleepy. In fact, babies also rub their eyes like adults, but babies are too small to be accurate and cannot find the position of their eyes accurately, so they will scratch and rub their eyes randomly. My baby is more than three months old now, and I can clearly see him rubbing his eyes (although he also scratches them sometimes). Before, the situation was the same as what the OP described. Haha, don't worry, the baby will get better when he grows up. It takes a lot of effort for adults to prevent babies from scratching their faces. Trim your baby's nails regularly. A baby's nails grow much faster than an adult's, at an average rate of 0.1 mm per day.

Two-month-old babies will be like this at this time. Maybe he just knows this simple action. This is the baby's normal reaction. Don't stop him. Put on gloves or something. Let him scratch his face so that he can feel the pain. This is the first step for the baby to perceive the world. When he is a little older, he will have more movements. The doctor said this is good for brain development. You can cut his nails frequently, wash his hands frequently, and keep them clean. You don't need to worry too much, as long as it's not acne or something like that.

From the above explanation, the phenomenon of newborns scratching their faces is very dangerous for newborns, because their bodies are very fragile. If newborns accidentally scratch their faces, it is easy to cause the risk of newborns being infected by diseases. Therefore, when taking care of newborns, we must prevent newborns from scratching their faces.
