A newborn baby is as delicate as a fresh-blossomed flower. The delicate, mild fragrance that we get from babies feels so enticing. It feels so soft, like a feather. Everything about the babies is so adorable, be it their small sparkling eyes, beautiful little hands, feet, etc., but these little munchkins need extra attention in their tender days after birth. Keeping the babies safe from skin infections is the utmost responsibility of any parent. So, let’s understand how we can protect our little hearts from getting affected.
Bathing the baby
Always prefer not to give baths to the baby on a routine basis, especially till 3 months; you can use the washcloth dampened with plain water for cleaning their body. It is recommended to bathe the baby 2 – 3 times a week. Most Babies enjoy the warmth, so always ensure that the water temperature for the baby bath is lukewarm, and the mother should dip her hand before putting on the baby.
Umbilical Cord care
It’s recommended not to give baths to babies for up to two to four weeks until the umbilical cord falls off, as it can lead to skin infections.
Skincare
Always use mild and gentle products for babies that don’t cause problems like eczema, rashes, or skin acne. To avoid these problems, use Maatrisneh Baby Wash for babies, which is made from 100% Natural ingredients and is as gentle as possible, as it contains ingredients like Tulsi, Neem, and Aloe vera and has the goodness of milk protein, which is good for the delicate skin of babies. These Ingredients help to keep babies’ skin hydrated.
Oral Hygiene
It's essential never to ignore the oral hygiene of babies; for this, always use a wet washcloth for cleaning the gums of babies even before the arrival of the first tooth.
Diapering
As babies typically rely on mothers’ milk, diapers must be changed on time due to frequent urination. While changing diapers, a parent/caregiver should always clean the area with a wet washcloth and let it dry for some time. Always check for any infection in terms of rash, swelling, or foul smell. Reach out to the pediatrician if required.
Nail care
These little munchkins tend to put their fingers in their mouth, so keeping their nails cut is always required to avoid skin infections. You can cut your babies' nails when sleeping to prevent anxiety in babies.
Check signs of infection
Keep an eye on skin conditions of babies as the skin is too delicate. Always use mild and natural baby products to keep their skin hydrated, such as Maatrisneh baby body lotion enriched with saffron, desi ghee, aloe vera, and Yashtimadhu, keeping the skin well maintained.
Conclusion
Remember these essential baby hygiene tips like cutting babies' nails, washing hands regularly, checking the signs of infection on their oral and diapering hygiene while taking care of the umbilical cord. If still any problems occur, contact the pediatrician to avoid adverse skin irritations in babies.
