It is and treat it as
The skin of our children is beautiful, soft, smooth and elastic ... apparently perfect.
But it is also very delicate, thin and defenseless.
It needs special care and attention because, formed by small strip corneas, skin of the newborn is not yet able to create that invisible protective barrier formed by water and fat (the so-called film hydrolipidic) will strengthen as the child grows.
Then do not forget that, especially in the first days of life, undergoes a physiological process of desquamation. But attention, this does not mean that the skin of the infant is entirely devoid of natural defenses, because the birth is covered by a substance, the so-called caseous paint, which should repair it from the first contact with the environment. After the demise of paint caseous, the skin of the newborn is protected for about three months by another film formed from the secretions of the sebaceous glands, stimulated more intensely maternal hormones. But often, what nature provides, it is not enough ...
And so we return, as mentioned in the beginning, those things can take.
In the early days of life, clean your baby you can run through sponging of lukewarm water to pass to the various parts of the body except the area of the umbilical cord.
After the fall of the cord (usually within the first 15 days of life) you can move on to the bath which certainly does not need one every day.
Up to three months, it can dissolve in a tablespoon of rice starch or special dust-based colloidal oats, or corn starch. Alternatively, you can not use aggressive detergents, specific to early childhood.
After the third month, you can start using the oil bath, which have the advantage to soften the water of the bath when it is too calcareea and are ideal for those children who have a predisposition to allergies.
Even after a year of life, should be avoided perfumed soap, water cologne containing alcohol and all products not specifically designed for babies.
Skin diseases
The skin is one of the most vulnerable organs of our body. And how sensitive is the know the mothers or fathers that are red and irritated even for someone not too long with a wet diaper ...
Let those who are the most frequent disorders:
The diaper dermatitis
What: It occurs, with red dots, the area of skin covered by the diaper, but if neglected, may also involve the attachment of the legs. It is due to prolonged contact of urine and faeces, which, because of their chemical composition are able to overcome the barriers of weak defense of the child's skin, creating a favorable ground to a proliferation of germs and bacteria.
How do I care: hygiene is the primary weapon for both the prevention and cure for diaper dermatitis:
little should be changed often, even every 2 / 3 hours
before putting the diaper should be washed using detergent specific
the skin should be dried well and dab gently with a cotton towel
Once dry, you should apply a layer of protective cream specifically for kids
is always a good practice to occasionally leave the child without diapers, so that the skin can breathe better.
The milky crust
What: When the skin is still immature, it can easily break on disorders such as milk crust, eczema or seborrheic, leaving a whitish coating that covers the head of the child. The glands of the scalp produce sebum excess and near the hair follicle, where the hair, forming a layer more or less clear of crust.
How do I care enough little things to resolve this commonplace problem:
Tampona the crust with a wad soaked in olive oil and leave to act for some hours. Once softened, you should wash the child's head and comb with a very soft brush to gently remove the chips
Instead of the usual shampoo, are useful for washing with olive oil that contains Squalene, a substance very similar to sebum, has a high detergent and lubricates the scalp, protecting hair.
Atopic dermatitis
What: manifested by the appearance of red patches that are dry and are often associated with itching. It is believed that this problem has an allergy, but some factors such as cold, wind, excessive heat can contribute to worsen.
How do I care: a single cure for this disease but there is not even in this case you can take simple steps to prevent it or improve it:
soap is used little, preferring more delicate products, specifically for early childhood
after the bath, the skin should be buffered with a cotton towel and coated with moisturizer, free of perfumes and preservatives
not cover the baby too so that is way too warm in
the child's nails are always kept clean to prevent, scratched, infected skin
... More .... Small but annoying problems ...
If very suda
Have appeared on the face and / or corspo, perhaps among the folds of skin, pink spots? You may sudamina, an outburst of heat that occurs where the sweat accumulates.
It is good to make him a refreshing bath with lukewarm water and bicarbonate. Then it dries, dab with a soft towel. Finally, apply a little 'of powder (also exists in the form of cream to avoid any inhalation of dust) that can absorb sweat and keep the skin dry.
If you irritate the neck
