Did you know that you don’t need to bathe newborns and very young infants every single day? Most infants don’t get very dirty early on in life. Babies aren’t mobile right away so they don’t get very dirty. This means that parents can keep an eye out for things that will get the baby dirty or that could harm the baby’s skin. As long as you keep your newborn baby’s face clean you only need to give him (or her) a full bath a few times a week. Once your son our daughter is mobile you will want to start bathing him (or her) more often. Fresh air can work wonders for a baby’s skin. You can reduce the number of rashes that your baby will experience by changing any used diapers immediately and avoiding putting your baby in tight clothing whenever possible. A baby’s skin that gets a chance to breathe from time to time will avoid most of these minor ailments. Who’d figure that your baby will benefit from being naked for a while. Remember, babies do not care about modesty-that is something that develops when they are older. This doesn’t have to be done all day everyday to get the desired results, you can start experimenting and adjust accordingly, just be sure that it isn’t in a cold temperature where your baby can develop associated illnesses.
During the first six months of your baby’s life you want to do everything you can to keep him or her out of direct sunlight because direct sunlight can prove too harsh for your baby’s skin, which will be very sensitive to light. Once your child is six months old you will want to begin using an incredibly strong and baby friendly sunblock to protect them when you take them outside.
Two extra precautions that you should take to protect your baby against sun damage are hats and using umbrellas for shade. If your baby does get a sunburn help him feel better by applying a cool damp cloth for between ten and fifteen minutes two or three times a day.
You have a lot of options to choose from to help you protect your child’s skin. Developing a good baby skin care regimen early in your child’s life will help them develop good skin care routines later on in life.
Remember, baby skin care extends beyond the face and includes taking care of the baby’s whole body.
