The baby lives on amniotic fluid in the mother's body, and after birth, the baby cannot quickly adapt to the external environment. So during the confinement period, mothers should regularly wipe their babies' bodies to help them adapt as soon as possible. Generally, they can recover after the confinement period. So what's going on with peeling skin on newborn babies' hands?
The outermost layer of newborn baby's skin is called the epidermal keratinization layer, but due to the incomplete development of the outermost layer of skin, the keratinization layer is very weak, making it easy for peeling to occur. The area inside the skin is called the dermis, and there is only a basic connection between the epidermis and dermis. The basement membrane of a newborn baby is not yet fully developed, and the skin is tender and loose, which makes the epidermis and dermis not well fused together, and the epidermis is very easy to fall off.
Moreover, the amniotic fluid of a newborn baby is very warm in the mother's womb before birth. After birth, due to the dry and cold outside air, it is easy for the skin to contract and peel.
Parents must pay attention to regularly wiping their baby's skin to avoid external damage and the possibility of infection. There is no need to worry too much. In terms of diet. Parents should also pay more attention to feeding their babies high protein foods and foods that can effectively supplement calcium.
