Winter can be a harsh season for your baby's health. With the drop in temperature and cold air, a baby's immunity takes a hit and is prone to various diseases and infections.
A baby's skin also gets affected by these hard conditions. Here are a few tips that can help you keeping your baby's skin healthy in winters:
Moisturize Skin Regularly;
Dryness is one of the most common problems in winters. Keeping baby's skin moisturized, especially after baths can help reduce dryness.
Don't Overdo with Clothes;
Babies need one extra layer of clothing than us. Too many clothes can heat up their body more than required, instead of keeping it warm. It can cause heat rashes and make babies uncomfortable.
Regular Massage
Regular massage helps boost immunity and keeps skin healthy. Always use a gentle oil for baby massage.
Bath in lukewarm water
When bathing your baby, keep in mind that the water should be lukewarm and not hot. Keep the bath short. Long baths and hot water effects baby's skin poorly.
Use only doctor approved products for sensitive skin
If your baby is prone to dryness and eczema, consult your doctor before applying any skin care product on your baby's skin.
With these small and careful steps, you can beat the winter skin problems in babies.;
