26 Oct Five healthy keys to take care of your baby
Healthy keys to face the arrival of a new member of the family.
The arrival of a baby at home is always a great adventure. Pacifiers, breastfeeding, diapers… endless changes for which you have to prepare both emotionally and materially before the birth of a child. From Mifarma by Aida Plus, they recommend a series of tips to take into account to prepare for the arrival of a new member of the family.
Be Careful With Hygiene!
The newborn’s body is still very vulnerable, in particular its lungs. For this reason, parents have to take hygiene and disinfection into account to keep them protected from external agents that may affect the little one. Washing your hands before and after picking up the baby, for example, is a good practice to keep it protected from external agents. In addition, a pacifier sterilizer can be a great ally to combat germs and bacteria that may lurk in corners. The Duccio, specifically, is portable and kills 99% of bacteria using UV rays in three minutes, as well as being simple and quite intuitive.
Switch To Pediatric Cosmetics
“In order to take care of your skin, it is important to establish a routine: set a time for bath time, follow the same steps when washing it and, of course, use specific products for your skin,” says Navarro.
It is advisable to fine-tune the cabinets and start using pediatric cosmetics, which are especially indicated for the sensitive skin of a newborn. For example, foaming shampoos that cleanse and preserve the skin’s acid mantle thanks to their natural composition, low-alcohol children’s colognes dermatologically tested for sensitive baby skin, or moisturizing lotions to soothe, soften or protect the skin.
Turn Diaper Changing Into A Three-Step Ritual
When it comes to changing the diaper, there are several doubts that assail us when we are parents: does it affect the composition of the wipes? Should I put cream on them? What do I do with dirty diapers? Baby skin care is one of the most worrying things and that is why it is essential to follow a care routine. Therefore, it is essential to make sure that our baby’s bottom is completely clean when changing the diaper to avoid irritation, and discomfort and help prevent famous eczema. “It is important to use wipes that are as natural as possible. Some have 99.9% water and a drop of fruit extract,” says Navarro.
In addition, it is also very important to moisturize that area very well with specific ointments, which form a barrier to protect the skin and calm redness and itching. In addition, for comfort, and hygiene and in order to neutralize bad odors, it is advisable to have a diaper container near the changing table.
Do Not Neglect The Well-Being Of The Mother: That Breastfeeding Is A Choice
“Breastfeeding is a choice and any decision will be correct since you will have made it based on what you and your baby need.” If you are a pregnant person and have decided to combine breastfeeding with the bottle, it is always useful to have bottles whose teat allows the baby to suck naturally, so that the change from the breast to the bottle is not so abrupt. “It is essential that breastfeeding is a choice and not a limitation. For this reason, we must choose an option that adapts to our lifestyle as much as possible, ”says the pharmacist.
On the other hand, and “although at Mifarma by Aida Plus we recommend breastfeeding”, it never hurts to be proactive and have an ace up your sleeve. “The follow-on milk can be a good option for those pregnant people who decide not to breastfeed since it offers children a food that contributes to their complete physical and mental development,” she points out.
Sunscreen: A Must, Also For The Baby
“Going for a walk is essential to stimulate the baby’s development,” says Reme Navarro, pharmacist and Director of Business Strategy for Atida in southern Europe. At this time of year, it is so important to choose lighter clothing for the little one, as well as to put on a specific sunscreen for their skin. “For babies, the ideal is to opt for a water-resistant SPF50+ sunscreen formulated with ingredients such as olive oil or vitamin E, which protect and care for their delicate skin.”
