Remedies for babies
Home remedies are normally suitable for both babies and children, but when it comes to children consulting with doctors is beneficial. A few remedies can help with the children.
- Avoid dressing the baby warmly as sweating aggravates atopic dermatitis, or causes heat rashes that can worsen the situation.
- When you are outside, don’t cover the face of the baby with a scarf. Car seat covers usually help to shield the baby from the outside air. Keep checking is the baby getting enough airflow.
- Do not try apple cider or bleach bath on your child before consulting the doctor.
- Colloidal oatmeal baths are considered as safe for children but try not to put water in their eyes
- Children do not require frequent baths. Mostly babes need bathing just once a week or twice unless they got muddy or soled. Less frequent baths help to keep the skin moisturized and prevent dry skin.
- Use alcohol-free fragrances for the baby. Also, baby wipes should be alcohol-free. Many wipes contain multiple ingredients that can irritate the skin; therefore, look for those ingredients before buying the fragrance or baby wipe. The product containing aloe Vera r the one made for sensitive skin, can be useful.
- Do not use adult shampoos for children as these shampoos can affect the baby’s skin and eyes. Use baby shampoo and be careful while giving a bath to the child.
