Winter has come. It means your baby needs some extra caring. The skin of a baby is soft and so sensitive that it might get caught by any kinds of cold fever if there’s any lack of proper care. Today, we are going to discuss about some important steps that you must follow to enjoy this beautiful winter season with your little angel.
Warm Cloths: The most important thing when it comes to give your baby an extra comfort in winter, is to make sure the baby is wearing warm cloths. Hands and legs should get covered as well because cold fevers like pneumonia attacks babies whenever there’s a lack of proper care. Babies need an extra layer of cloths on them compared to a fully-grown person, be noted. Wash those cloths your baby is wearing regularly.
Hygiene: You have followed the first step properly, great! Now it’s time to focus on hygiene. In winter, cold is not the only thing that you should be concerned about. Keep that in your mind, tummy infections happen to be the worst things that could ever happen to your baby.
If you are going out with your baby, saving your baby from the polluted air would be your first priority. You may use a mask or a thin piece of cloths to cover your baby’s nose and mouth. Always clean both hands of your baby right after coming back from outside. You can also teach your baby to wash his/her own hands over time.
Drinking Water: Babies dehydrate faster than adult. The amount of water in your body also gets lower in winter season. Make sure your baby is drinking enough water throughout the day and night. If the water is cold, you should warm it at a certain level that no longer feels cold nor too hot. Water helps to get rid of dry skins. You may use baby lotions as well to make sure the skin of your baby remains soft.
Sport: Sport is the most important thing for your children. But, there’s a problem! See, if there’s foggy weather, you just shouldn’t let your children go out and play for few hours. That fog might cause a serious health issue to your child.
You may let them play inside the house. In that case, Children should be wearing shoes or the floor should be covered with carpet so the coldness can’t touch their feet.
Nutrition: You have followed every single step written above. Among them, the most effective advice is to provide your children a healthy diet. Human body is the only place where we live and we should always take a good care of it. Winter means, there are tons of vegetables and fruits available that are rich in protein and vitamin. Honey might be another good option to try. It helps fighting cold fevers as well.
Never let your child drink water from fridge, especially in winter, no matter how thirsty they are. Baby baths should be given regularly with warm water. Use baby shampoo twice or thrice a week. If there’s any dandruff problem, stop using oil but only baby shampoo.
A baby is as pure as an angel and as fresh as a blooming flower. Take special care of your baby, make sure of proper nutrition and stay happy and blessed. Thank you
