Newborn baby care guide
Caring for your newborn baby is a basic skill that every parent needs to master. Proper care not only protects your baby from disease but also nurtures the parent-child relationship. In this article, we will elaborate on how to bathe and change your baby\’s diaper correctly from four aspects.
Preparation
Before bathing your baby and changing his diaper, you need to prepare various items. For bathing, you need warm water, soap, towels, detergent, wet wipes, shampoo, bathtub, etc. For diaper changes, you will need baby diapers, wipes, paper towels, changing pads, moisturizer, etc. Before preparing items, you need to prepare the bathing or diaper changing area first to ensure that the baby\’s surrounding environment is clean and tidy and free of any dangerous items to avoid accidental falls or slips.
Precautions for bathing
Before bathing, you need to take off your baby\’s clothes, but remember to keep your baby\’s body warm. When washing your baby\’s body with warm water, avoid pouring the water directly onto your baby\’s head and face to avoid entering waterways and causing choking or discomfort. At the same time, you also need to pay special attention to soaps and detergents. Choose bath products that are non-irritating, harmless to your baby\’s skin and have a certain cleaning effect. The bathing time should not be too long, only about ten minutes each time, to prevent the baby from being easily infected by excessive heat sources and causing discomfort.
Diaper Changing Tips
There are a few tips to remember when changing diapers. First, open the baby\’s diaper, and then wipe the baby\’s buttocks and genitals with a wet tissue or clean tissue. When changing a new diaper, just lift the baby\’s legs upward to ensure that the new diaper fits the baby\’s genitals and buttocks. The entire diaper changing process needs to be completed as soon as possible to avoid discomfort and coldness to the baby.
Pay attention to safety
During the process of bathing and changing diapers, pay attention to keeping the environment dry, clean, and warm to prevent the baby from catching cold or contracting viruses. Especially when taking a bath, you need to hold the baby while holding the baby\’s arm to prevent the baby from crying due to falling. Do not leave your baby, especially while using any equipment, such as a bathtub or changing pad.
In daily care, correct bathing and diaper changing methods have a profound impact on the health and growth of your baby. Parents need to continue to learn and master correct baby care skills and give their babies good care and maintenance.
