What to wipe after a newborn baby's bath

Children are the hope of their parents, but they are also a burden to their parents. After having children, one's mood will become different. One feels that one can give up the whole world except one's own children. Bathing a child is also a big headache for parents. If the baby does not cooperate during bathing, the parents will be particularly tired. What should I apply after taking a bath?

When bathing a newborn, you must use clean water. After bathing, you don’t need to apply talcum powder in winter. You can apply some lotion or moisturizing oil. You must pay attention to choosing the right brand to avoid damaging the newborn’s skin. You can also apply some olive oil, which can provide good protection for the baby’s skin.

After the baby takes a bath, you can use cotton to dip a little talcum powder or adults can apply a thin layer of talcum powder with their hands and gently apply it on the newborn's skin. Never sprinkle talcum powder directly on the newborn's body to prevent the newborn from inhaling it into the nostrils or having it scattered in the eyes. It is best not to use talcum powder on the wrinkles of the skin. You can apply a small amount of sterilized baby lotion to prevent skin erosion.
