How to keep your baby's skin moist in winter

According to the weather forecast, today will be the coldest day since the beginning of winter. The air will be particularly dry. Baby's skin is delicate. If not cared for properly, the baby's hands and face will suffer and become chapped without knowing it. How can we keep the baby's skin moist and tender in winter?

How to keep your baby's skin soft and supple in winter

1. Rehydrate! Rehydrate! Rehydrate!

The baby's skin is thinner. In winter, the cold wind outside and the heating inside will take away the moisture of the skin and make the skin dry, so it is necessary to moisturize the skin! Parents should give their babies more hot water to drink. They can also bring some hot water in a thermos when going out. In order to prevent the baby's skin from cracking, they can feed the baby more foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots, fish, green vegetables, etc., and also eat more fruits. The room should be kept moist. You can use a humidifier. It is best to use a cold air humidifier to avoid scalding the baby with a hot air humidifier.

2. Selection and washing of clothes

First of all, the baby’s underwear must be soft and breathable to reduce the friction between the rough fabric and the baby’s skin. It is best to choose loose clothes made of pure cotton. When cleaning the baby, be sure to choose a suitable detergent and wash it several times with clean water to remove the detergent thoroughly, because residual detergent may cause baby eczema. It is also best to use a dryer to dry clothes that have been dried in the sun, which can make the clothes softer.

3. Keep warm

When some parents take their babies out, they wrap them up tightly, leaving only a small face exposed. When they come back home from outside, the little face is red. Without the protection of clothes, the face becomes the part of the baby that is most vulnerable to cold air. Therefore, when going out, you must make sure your baby wear a mask to reduce the stimulation of cold air on the face, especially for babies with sensitive skin.

4. Don’t take a bath too frequently

Recently, a man in Yangzhou suffered from excessive cleansing due to frequent bathing and the use of alkaline toiletries, which left his skin unprotected and caused his hands and feet to become chapped and even bleed. The baby's skin is more delicate, so don't bathe him too frequently. 1 to 2 times a week is enough. The temperature should not be too high, and you should choose appropriate toiletries.
