Things to avoid #SoftestForBabySkin

After giving few tips on how to keep the baby's skin soft and healthy, I will be listing few facts that should be taken care of while taking care of a baby. Here are those facts:

1. Do not use talcum powder: It is often shown in ads that parents should apply talcum powder on the skin of the baby to keep it smooth and make the baby smell fresh. However, the baby's skin doesn't need powdering at all. The reason is that the skin of the baby is too tender and soft that it just needs to be oiled and parents can apply cream on the skin to keep it soft and smooth while powder can be inhaled by the baby and it can cause harm to the health of the baby which is dangerous.

2. Avoid the sun: Babies often feel cranky when they are exposed to the sun or the sun rays hit their skin. It is advised to not make the baby come indirect contact of the heat and sun rays as it may cause sun burns on the tender skin of the baby. Even if the baby is protected with the help of an umbrella or hat, the baby can still be affected by the sun rays and hence it is better to not make the baby come in contact with the sun for atleast 6-7 months.

3. Bathe the baby for only 5 minutes: It does happen that when parents bathe the baby, they tend to keep the baby's skin exposed to water for a long time which can harm the baby's skin and this fact is not commonly known. The skin of the baby is very soft and sensitive and if the skin is exposed to soap water for a long time, it can cause an irritation on the skin which is a matter of concern. Hence after 5 minutes pass by, wash the baby's body clean and apply a moisturizer or cream to make the baby's skin remain soft and unaffected by the soap.

4. Take care while massaging: Sometimes parents may be a bit too fast while massaging the baby or may apply oil on one side of the baby's skin to make the skin soft but it can instead cause an irritation on the skin which needs to be avoided. Massaging should be done equally in all directions so that the skin remains tender and soft.

5. Sunscreen: It is necessary to apply sunscreen to those parts of the baby's body that are not covered by the clothes. Applying a lot of cream can cause rashes and when the baby is taken out during sunny hours, make sure the baby's eyes don't come in contact with the sun as the eyes can be affected too.
