Staying Healthy This Winter - Baby Care

A weather that is difficult for grown-ups is far more difficult for kids and especially toddlers

. The child needs to be prevented from hypothermia and frostbite when the weather is going extremes. Here is how to take the best care of your young one:

The baby should be dressed in multiple yet breathable layers. The undershirt should be of cotton, wrap and tie style and of the right size so that it does not get wet when the cloth diaper gets wet. A one-piece sleeper that opens from the neck and covers from toes to the shoulders keeps every inch of your child's body warm is a good selection with disposable diapers.

A disposable diaper need to be changed sooner than you usually do in other weathers.

The cuffs of the shirts should not be longer if the child has habit of sucking his thumb. Roll them back if they are longer.

If any piece of cloth that your child is wearing gets a bit damp on any part, change them immediately.

When your child has started crawling, soft knitted socks which covers the feet and the ankles is a must.

While the child is sleeping, do not cover the nose and the mouth for convenient breathing.

When you are taking the baby outside, cover the hands with mittens and head with hood, hat or a scarf. Protect the face from wind and sunburn.

Remove the snowsuit if you are in a supermarket for a long time or else your child will start perspiring and his undershirt and diaper will get wet.

A moisturizer meant for toddlers should only be used. Using a humidifier in the infant's room is also a good option to prevent the child's skin from drying.

An infant needs to be snuggled properly in a soft blanket while in sleep.

Use petroleum jelly and lip balms to avoid cracking of cheek's skin and lips.

If you see any signs of irritation on the skin of the baby, look for professional help.
