Newborn Baby Skin Care Do’s and Don’ts
When parents have children, they often think that the best way to care for the child’s new skin that many baths. This is not necessarily true, but letting the child ‘reach’ is likely not a good plan either.
Caring for a newborn, there are five general use skin care products and bath time.
Avoid baby powders containing talc (talc), and skin irritants such as perfume. In fact, powders made from pure corn starch (or finely ground corn starch, for that matter), or bentonite clay are the best. These are widely available, and some of the traditional, baby care products. Using powders to treat diaper rash often, but not useful. Use natural creams made from chamomile and zinc oxide instead.
Bubble Baths
These are popular among parents, because let’s face it, having the soap in the water is not certain that the whole process easier. Is it true? The problem is that we have many of these bubble baths. Many of them contain detergents, which are bad for the skin, and particularly bad for the baby’s skin. In fact, bubble baths have been linked to urinary tract infections and vaginitis in infants.
Spirits
Creams (and sometimes oil) is also necessary in most of the newborn. Use of natural products made of coconut, chamomile, aloe, etc. So if you use the natural care of your own skin, you probably use the baby.
Shampoos
Most babies have thin or thick hair and do not grow much hair on their heads or oil, until a few months after birth. So wash your baby’s hair should only be performed if necessary, if at all. Use a mild shampoo and never use the shampoo used as an adult, especially those intended for dandruff of the harsh chemicals. Avoid anything synthetic fragrances, allergenics and parabens. Instead, use shampoos natural ingredients, and that it is not rough. Until the child is older, he does not do mud baths in the back yard, or smearing of foreign substances can, if their hair. It does not really need heavy cleaning.
Soap
Be careful with the soap. Most soaps contain detergents, which remove the healthy bacteria, and destroy the protective mantle of our skin. This is especially true for baby’s skin. In fact, many pediatricians recommends that infants should be washed with warm water only, without soap, most of the bath. Antibacterial soaps in particular should be avoided.
It is hoped that these recommendations will help you find skin care of newborn baby needs. Have a favorite? Let me know with a comment!
