Has the baby been playing in the water lately? As soon as you see water in the basin, you get excited and keep splashing water with your hands. Why not take this opportunity to teach your baby how to wash their hands by themselves?
How to Wash Hands Correctly
1. Let the baby wet their hands under the faucet first, and then apply soap or hand sanitizer.
2. Rub the palms for a few seconds. After a certain amount of foam is generated, thoroughly scrub the hands for at least 10-15 seconds, especially at the back of the hands, between the fingers, between the nails and other parts. In addition, don't forget the wrist.
3. After rubbing, rinse your hands under running water until all soap or hand sanitizer residue is thoroughly washed away.
4. After washing hands, use a towel or tissue to dry your hands, or use a hot air blower to blow dry your hands.
When should babies wash their hands
Baby's skin is delicate, and washing hands should not be excessive, otherwise it may cause dermatitis! When should I wash my baby's hands?
1. Before eating or coming into contact with food. Before the baby eats, make sure to wash their hands clean, otherwise they may easily get bacteria into their stomach.
2. After coming into contact with small animals. Animals also have many bacteria on their bodies, and babies are very interested in these animals and like to touch them, which can easily bring bacteria to their hands.
3. When there are obvious stains on both hands. Babies like to play around and inevitably make their hands black. When they see stains on their hands, they also need to be cleaned.
4. After outdoor activities or going home. When taking a baby out, it is inevitable that they will touch everywhere, and there are countless bacteria in public places. Therefore, the first thing to do after returning home is to help the baby wash their hands!
5. Wash hands before and after going to the bathroom. Whether it's defecation or urination, babies should develop the habit of washing their hands before and after using the toilet.
