It usually occurs in summer when the weather is too hot, and it can also have an impact on babies, especially those aged 1-3. If parents do not take care of them properly, they are very likely to develop heat rash on their bodies. So, how can we take good care of the baby's body during hot weather and prevent them from being affected by heat rash?
1. In hot weather, it is important to ensure timely indoor ventilation and cooling. It is recommended to wear less non breathable clothing for babies and more pure cotton sweat absorbing clothes to keep the skin in a dry and clean environment, which can prevent babies from developing heat rash. If the baby is sweating, they should change their clothes in a timely manner and apply some talcum powder to keep themselves dry.
2. When the weather is too hot, you can turn on a fan or air conditioner in the room for the baby to rest in a room with a suitable temperature, and regularly check if the baby is still sweating. Also, be careful not to blow the fan or air conditioner directly at the baby's outlet to avoid catching a cold again.
3. If a baby has already developed prickly heat due to excessive heat, it is important to keep their fingernails flat, as prickly heat can cause itching on the body. To avoid scratching delicate skin and causing other conditions, nails should be trimmed neatly. Add some medicines that can relieve heat and itching to help the baby recover as soon as possible.
