Babies need special care during these seasons. If proper care is not taken this winter, the child may suffer from a cold, cough, fever, respiratory problems, and even pneumonia. Therefore, extra care is needed for the child in winter. Let's know some tips related to baby care -
1. Bath:
Many people dread bathing their babies in winter. Most parents think that bathing will make babies sick. But the matter is completely different. Cleanliness can never be neglected in winter. Bathe the baby regularly. However, before 12 noon, it is better to take a bath with warm water. After bathing, wipe the baby's head and body well and then put on clothes.
Human skin becomes rough due to a lack of moisture in winter. Children's skin is more tender than normal people's. Therefore, good quality lotion or cream must be applied to take care of the baby's tender skin in winter. Baby oil, glycerin, and a moisturizing cream can also be used.
3. Winter Clothes:
The first and foremost condition to keep children safe from winter is to dress the child in adequate clothing. It is not enough to wear warm clothes to protect from cold. Even when clothed, children's hands and heads are mostly outside. So cover your baby's head and hands well before going out. If necessary, you can cover his face with a thin cloth.
4. Use of High-absorbency Diapers:
If the diaper gets wet or leaks in winter, there is a possibility of the baby catching a cold. If the baby wears 'diapers' regularly, they must be carefully changed regularly.
5. Winter food:
Baby winter food should be considered a little more carefully. Foods that have an excess amount of vitamin C should be eaten more. But there is no alternative to eating a balanced diet with all the nutritional qualities. And there is no alternative to breast milk as a baby food. It will protect against various infections.
If the child's nose is blocked due to a cold, then 'Nursal Nasal Drop' can be given twice a day, it has no side effects, said Dr. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, assistant professor of the child health department. Gopen Kumar Kundu.
Caution:
A wonderful bond develops between mother and baby through breastfeeding. Breast milk is the baby's only source of nutrition for the first six months. Your baby will surely be happy not to drink water. But his health is more important than happiness. So make the baby drink plenty of water to keep his body fresh. Besides, if the baby's bed pillow is warmed by the sun every day, the baby will feel comfortable.
Children's skin becomes very dry in winter. As a result, children are in a lot of physical pain, if the parents are careful enough about the child, then they have to take appropriate measures to deal with it by having an idea about what kind of problems the child may have during the outbreak of winter.
