Tips for the first care of baby’s skin
When we have a son, we know that care is always bit. Any problems that may arise, however small, it becomes very serious, and much more, if we do not know how to act immediately. Therefore, the key to overcoming any unforeseen event that may arise is to manage the best possible information in advance.
Many of the problems that often confront when a mother has a baby have to do with skin. If throughout our lives we must pay special attention to the care of our primary natural barrier against external agents, cuddles should end when it was a small child as the “memory” of our skin can pass bill sooner or later .
According to Dr. Ana Ramírez Bosco, a specialist in Pediatric Dermatology, “the proper skin care the child in the early periods of life is essential to avoid, over time, many changes.” To begin, Dr. Bosco says health as fundamental to remove the skin secretions, to prevent the bad smell, remove environmental dirt, prevent some infections and keep intact the acid mantle that covers the skin. However, everything in excess is bad and if there is too often the baby or wash is done with inadequate products, the risk of irritating the skin, eliminating its natural fat and thus promote the emergence of various skin diseases.
Despite widespread belief, this expert in pediatric dermatology ensures that the bath can be done from day one, if it is a short bath and warm with a mild soap with bath oil, unused, in any case, conditioners and other hair cosmetic products and attach great importance to rinse to prevent alkalinization of the skin and dry skin. Furthermore, said Bosco, the bath helps to strengthen the bonds between mother and young.
Another issue that often brings more headaches for moms, especially the first time, is the scaling of the skin of the newborn. According to the doctor should not be cause for alarm, and usually with a moisturizer with natural ingredients and vegetable oil, the problem is solved.
In addition, to guard with special care the diaper area, an area troubled by rubbing and moisture, Ramírez Bosco frequent diaper changes recommended to avoid prolonged contact with secretions of the skin, wash with soap and water and apply a cream barrier at each change and, more particularly at night.
What about the talcum powder, as “recommended” to relieve chafing and skin irritation? The pediatric dermatologist is clear: we must avoid its use whenever possible, as they have been documented cases of severe aspiration in young children.
Bosco also denies the report in another “myth” about the early care for infants. One is the hair. For us that is very fine hair of our son, over the months will be taking shape, and this expert said that “it is absolutely false that the Rapar hair after it grows stronger, so they are not justified ‘radical pruning. ”
However, we must not forget that in the event of detection of larger problems in the skin of our baby as itching, eczema (which is exacerbated with extreme temperatures) or hives, it is best to go immediately to a specialist, It is usual for children in early childhood, showing a skin called “atopic”, characterized by dry skin, erythematous areas (to flare), and intense pruritus (itching, tingling or uneasy irritation of the skin) which leads to a vicious circle of itching-scratching-itching rash that affects 60% of children.
