Mom and baby were discharged from the parental home. Now, young parents are faced with a number of issues related to caring for their babies. They already know about the need for daily bathing of the child, but here's how to wash the head of a newborn?
It is necessary
- - baby soap,
- - foam or gel of the "head to toe" type,
- - baby shampoo with a "no tears" formula.
Instructions
Step 1
Fill a previously thoroughly washed baby bath with water at a temperature of about 36-37 ° C. Use a special water thermometer to measure the temperature (do not rely on your own feelings of "hot-cold", as they can be deceiving).
Step 2
Submerge your baby in the water, supporting him with the palm and fingers of your left hand under the head, neck and back. You can place the baby's head on the inside of the left river wrist with the neck and upper chest in your palm.
Step 3
Wet the scalp of the baby's head with the palm of your right hand, and then lather your palm with baby soap (foam, gel, shampoo for children) and run the already soapy palm several times over the baby's head, making circular movements from the forehead to the back of the head.
Step 4
Rinse the soap off your baby's hair with water using your right hand. Pour water in the same way as you soaped the head: from the forehead to the back of the head. The soap must be washed off thoroughly without leaving any marks on the child's hair.
Step 5
Do not be afraid to damage the fontanel while washing, as the baby's brain is protected by a thick layer of cartilage and skin. However, the process of shampooing should still be done carefully and gently.
Step 6
Wash your newborn's head with soap no more than 2-3 times a week (you can rinse your hair with water every day while bathing).
