Winter Care for Babies – Skin Care
1. Massage
You can continue to massage your baby daily during winter too. It helps enhance blood flow and bring warmth to the baby’s body during the cold weather. It helps boost skin health which is otherwise dry and chapped. Use almond oil, olive oil, and sesame oil during winter as they help in keeping the baby’s skin soft and supple. Mustard Seeds oil is recommended too. Ensure to heat the oil a bit before applying it to the baby’s body and massage in a warm and closed area.
2. Bathing
Many of them avoid bathing babies during the winter. If we feel fresh post bathing babies feel too, and hence I recommend not missing a daily bath. Much needed as babies are always covered much and especially more so in winter and they may sweat a lot. It is also important when hygiene comes into the picture and you want them to not easily get infected with viruses. Ensure to bathe in slightly hot water, very hot water can damage the baby’s skin.
3. Clothing
Use layers when you are in a not-so-cold area. Putting on sweaters all the time is not necessary. Just like some adults don’t like or need to wear warm clothes some babies don’t need them too. So ensure to check their ear, palm and legs if they really feel cold put on warm clothes like sweaters, socks, and caps. If you stay in a very cold region then body warmers are available for babies that are not bulky but do the job of a sweater. Ensure to not repeat sweaters or caps too often without washing. It is very important to manage and wash their winter wears too.
4. Skin Care Products
Use baby-friendly skincare products only as you do not want any products to leave your baby’s skin dry. Be careful while choosing the brand and winter-friendly products.
