As the temperature drops in winter, it becomes a concern to catch flu and seasonal diseases for everyone.
For newborn babies, they face extra challenges as their immune system is under development and they have extremely soft skin.
So, check out these essential winter baby care tips to keep them safe and healthy during the harsh winter season.
Dressing and Layering: Use soft, warm, and breathable fabric to allow your baby space for breathing. Put on jackets or small blankets to keep them cosy and retain heat.
Skin Care: Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to protect your baby’s skin from dryness. Also, limit bathing time and use warm water.
Hydration: Continue breastfeeding to provide essential nutrients while giving water to soothe and comfort your baby.
Health and Safety: Check for signs of cough and fever and keep the environment clean. Use a humidifier to keep a comfortable humidity level in the home.
Sun Time: Besides providing vitamin D, a little sun time after bathing your child is good for their bone development and immunity system.
Outdoor Precautions: When taking your baby outside, always use layers, hats, and gloves to keep them warm. Also, avoid too much exposure to cold.
Take care of yourself: Take care of your health and be in the best shape to maintain the health and safety of your little one.
