We all like it. Many babies wear diapers or wrap them in diapers in their daily lives because mothers are afraid that their babies will defecate and urinate on their own, blurring dirty clothes and making it difficult to clean. But often, diapers that are not wet or have been wrapped for too long can make the baby's buttocks not breathable and cause problems such as red spots. So, what's going on if the baby's butt hole is red?
What's wrong with the baby's red butt hole
Generally, if a baby's buttocks are red, it is because of fire. If the area where the baby urinates is red, it may be because the mother did not wipe the baby's buttocks after urinating, causing the urine to be stained. If the anus is red, it is likely due to a fire in the stomach and intestines, which makes it difficult to digest after eating too much.
If the buttocks turn red, it may be eczema. If it's not serious, just apply some ointment. At this point, be careful not to let the baby eat too much and give him plenty of water.
How to wash a baby's buttocks
Generally, the water used for washing a baby's buttocks should be temperature controlled, preferably at 36-37 degrees Celsius, to avoid making the baby feel hot. In addition, for towels, it is recommended to choose baby towels with soft texture to avoid damaging the baby's skin. After use, wash them thoroughly and disinfect them in the sunlight. When washing a baby's buttocks, it is necessary to first wash the urethra and then the anus to avoid any infection problems caused by improper cleaning sequence.
Generally speaking, if conditions permit, it is best to use some baby specific brands when wiping the baby's buttocks, as these tissues are relatively soft and less irritating to the baby's buttocks skin. Of course, you can also choose to use some baby wipes, which can also have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.
