The fluctuation of the atmosphere due to the entry and the exit from the house in the cold weather makes skin dryness more common among babies. To reduce dryness in the winter, do the following.
Baby Shower
Avoid bathing your baby frequently when no need to do so. Use fragrance-free baby lotion and shampoo. After bathing massage your baby’s skin with a fragrance-free baby moisturizer to make up for oil that he lost in the shower.
When You Leave The House
If you are younger than 6 months, it is recommended to use sunscreens that are SPF 30+. Pick sunscreens the protect from different types of UV radiation and contains zinc oxide.
Dress him in several thin layers of clothing, gloves, a cap that covers the head and the ears, socks and shoes.
It is recommended to cover the stroller with a light cover that allows air to pass but protects it from cold air.
It is advised not to stay outside the house with the baby for more than half an hour especially if the weather is damp.
When He Gets Runny Nose
Your child may get a runny nose that irritates the skin. If you notice redness on the skin of the child, use a children's moisturizer designed for sensitive skin. Look for a moisturizer or fragrance-free lotion
Note: If you notice any symptoms on the skin of the child outside the home in cold weather, it is recommended to return home immediately and communicate with the pediatrician.
