Remedies for babies
Generally, home remedies are appropriate for both infants and children, but when it comes to children, it is advisable to consult a physician. Several remedies can assist with children.
As perspiration aggravates atopic dermatitis and causes heat rashes that can exacerbate the situation, avoid outfitting the infant in warm clothing.
When outside, you should not cover the baby’s visage with a scarf. Typically, car seat coverings shield the child from the outside air. Continue to ensure the infant is receiving adequate ventilation.
Before attempting a bleach or apple cider bath on your child, consult a doctor.
Children are deemed safe to use colloidal oatmeal bathing, but avoid getting water in their eyes.
Children are not required to bathe frequently. Most infants only require a bath once or twice per week, unless they have gotten soiled or dirty. Less frequent bathing aids in maintaining the skin’s moisture and preventing parched skin.
Use fragrances without alcohol for the infant. Also, infant wipes should not contain alcohol. Many wipes contain multiple ingredients that can irritate the skin; therefore, before purchasing a fragrance or infant wipe, examine the list of ingredients. Aloe Vera-containing products or those designed for sensitive skin can be beneficial.
Avoid using adult shampoos on children, as these shampoos can irritate the skin and eyes of infants. Use infant shampoo and exercise caution when bathing the child.
