After the baby is born, there will be some dry skin on the back, which is very troublesome for parents. Because the baby's fontanelle is not closed, it needs to be cleaned very carefully. The elderly still say they don't want parents to clean their babies' scalp, but new mothers believe that this is unsanitary for a long time and can greatly lead to their children falling ill. So let's take a look at what to do if a baby has dry skin on their head?
What should I do if my baby has dry skin on their head
If parents find that their baby's scalp is dry, they should wash their baby's head with warm water in a timely manner, so that the dryness of the scalp can be alleviated. Due to the delicate skin of babies, they are also greatly affected by the weather. Parents must keep their babies' heads warm, and in cold weather, they should wear hats for their babies.
Furthermore, before going to bed every day, you can wash your baby's scalp with warm water to replenish moisture. You can also apply some moisturizing powder to your baby's scalp and pay attention to supplementing vitamins to enhance the body's hydration function.
What are the reasons for dry scalp in babies
Some babies may experience dry scalp, and parents may not understand the reason. In fact, it is mostly due to the cold and dry weather in winter, where the baby's scalp is weak and their hair is sparse, and their resistance is not as good as adults, making them prone to dry scalp problems. Parents need to pay attention to this issue and wash with warm water more often, which can improve the dryness of their baby's scalp.
If a baby has skin on their head, parents must take it seriously. Regularly maintain good hygiene by using warm water to clean the scalp of the baby in a timely manner. At the same time, pay attention to adding a variety of complementary foods to the baby's diet, and drink more water in daily life. If the body is not dehydrated, the skin will not peel off. Of course, after washing with warm water, you can also use some baby skincare products, or use some baby powder, etc.
