If a baby is not born for long, their skin will not fully stretch out. But don't worry too much, parents. As the baby grows up, their skin will automatically become smoother and smoother. Although it will automatically improve in the later stage, the recovery speed will definitely be faster after early maintenance. So, should the baby apply powder or oil to the folds?
Generally speaking, it is recommended to apply powder. Because babies are still young and have a faster metabolism compared to adults, they will sweat a lot. If oil is applied, the oil layer blocks the baby's skin and air, causing sweat to accumulate in the skin layer, which may lead to eczema or redness of the skin. So how can the folds of the baby be maintained and cared for?
1. Clean twice a day with clean water
Use a towel or gauze cloth made of a more skin friendly material, wet it with water, and wipe the areas with more wrinkles on the baby. Because these areas with many folds are prone to accumulate dirt and grime, it is best to wipe them twice a day to keep the baby's body clean and comfortable.
2. Diapers and diapers are used alternately
Some parents think that diapers are very convenient and can be discarded in one go, saving a lot of trouble in the future. However, diapers also need to be changed for cleaning, so many parents only use diapers for their babies. But diapers have better breathability than diapers. To take good care of them, it's best for parents to use diapers alternately during the day and at night.
