Babies, like adults, are frequently exposed to dry skin and associated itching. Especially the frequent bathing habits brought by modern life cause mothers to wash their babies every day. Since the baby’s skin is very thin and poor in adipose tissue, when a foaming product comes into contact with it, it dries up and loses its protective oil. It prepares the ground for eczema and skin diseases.
The disappearance of the adipose tissue will bring dryness on the baby’s skin and then itching. Most of the time, mothers who do not realize this situation of the baby and take a bath every day and play their baby for a long time in the water, after a while, apply to the dermatologist with redness, itching and unstoppable blisters.
Without bringing babies to this stage, it is easy to prevent this with very simple life habits to be careful before eczema appears on the skin. Our aim should not be to make children use drugs, but to protect them without getting sick.
The first thing to pay attention to is not to wash the baby every day.
Many mothers combine baby’s playtime and nap time with bathing pleasure. Since the baby’s skin is thin and its protective layer is not developed, foam, soap enters the skin even if it is the most sensitive baby product. For this reason, it is necessary to save time by having the child play with his toy in the tub without filling it with water first, and after a while, it is necessary to wash it quickly and with warm water, without filing it.
After the bath, body lotion is applied to the dried skin while it is damp. Some babies don’t like it. It is necessary to familiarize the child with this process by making it like a game.
Baby skin also needs water from the inside, just like we do. It would be good to give the child with dry skin an extra drink of water or milk.
Sometimes baby oils can be applied to the whole body like lotion. In this case, it is necessary to be careful not to slip if the child is driven while in the tub.
If the lotion is not enough, ointment forms can also be used by asking the doctor.
The ideal baby product should be Paraben-Free, Odorless and Colorless.
