Bath Kids

Skin infant is fine and delicate. Skin care and bath kids' done properly can help maintain a healthy and pleasant part of children's skin, while providing a wonderful experience for both mother and child. Contrary to common belief, most children do not require daily bathing. Given the frequent changing nappies and cleaning the face (especially in the mouth and nose) after each feeding, most children require bathing 2-3 times a week or every two days.

Kids' bath can be made at any time of day. Bathing before nursing is usually welcome. Many parents prefer to bath the baby in the night, as part of a daily ritual of child care. Thus, the bathroom is a moment of relaxation and calming the child sleep the night before. (Not recommended bathing immediately after feeding as it can cause digestive discomfort and regurgitation or vomiting, it is recommended a range of about 20 minutes after feeding.)



Bath sponges are needed to start. Bathing in the tub should be postponed when the navel is completely healed, and boys circumcised until the surgery is healed, thus preventing possible infection. (Until then, it is recommended bath "dry", which involves cleaning the child with a sponge bath or a moist towel, without placing the child in water.)

What equipment is needed when giving bath to kids ?
- Thick towels or a sponge-type bath cushion
- Fine material for washing towels or natural bath sponge
- Trays or clean sink (or basin)
- Wool pads
- Shampoo and soap for children (non-irritant to sensitive skin). Do not use a too hard soap, but a moisturizing crème and gentle on skin.
- Children's bathrobe
- Clean diaper and clothing



How to bathing "dry":
- Make sure the room is heated properly (23-24C).
- Organized in time and space necessary things.
- Pour hot water in trays (or sink) - Water temperature should be checked and adjusted between 35-37C (the "elbow method" or a bath thermometer).
- Put baby bath cushion or thick towels so that means you to be high.
- During bathing, cover the child with a towel (this gives a sense of security, knowing that they dislike infants remain completely naked).
- Under any circumstances, do not leave child alone, even for a second! If you forgot your object will be, baby wrapped in a towel and take it with you!
- Start bathing the face - using many a clean cotton ball, soaked in water to wipe each eye, from nose to tail eye.
- Wash the baby's face with a soft towel, moistened, without using soap.
- Clean ears with a soft towel. Do not insert sticks with cotton in their ear because you can hurt their eardrum.
- Add a small amount of soap for children in the water or soap and towel carefully the body, from neck down. Unveiled one each side of the body, without leaving the child completely uncovered. Rinse with a clean towel or a small container (can be a cup, a bowl from the kitchen). Watch the navel to be watered.
