Can a baby take a bath?

A cold is a disease with symptoms such as runny nose and fever. Adults may not need to worry about a cold, but babies need to be treated as soon as possible. The longer the cold lasts, the greater the harm to the baby's body. When the baby is not sick, we should bathe the baby frequently to ensure his body is clean, which is conducive to the baby's healthy growth. So if the baby has a cold, can he take a bath?

There are several benefits of bathing your baby when he has a cold:

1. Bathing can keep children's skin clean, and bathing with warm water can promote sweating and help blood circulation, so that toxins in the body can be eliminated well.

2. Many babies who don’t like to drink water will also want to drink water after taking a bath. Adults and children have similar characteristics. Drinking warm water when you have a cold can also have a sterilizing and disinfecting effect.

3. Children with common colds usually have runny nose symptoms. Soaking the baby in warm water can help the mucus flow out and prevent nasal congestion. It is very necessary for babies to have a clear nose.

4. Bathing is a very good way to exercise, and after the baby has consumed physical energy, it is more conducive to sleep, which is very good for physical health.

5. If the baby has a high fever, using warm water during the bath can also help cool down the body.

6. So you can give your baby a bath if he has a cold, but here is a small suggestion: first, you need to adjust the room temperature and water temperature. The room temperature should be around 25℃, and the water temperature should be around 40℃. Since children's organs and respiratory systems are not yet fully developed, bathing time should not be too long.
