Baby skin care minefield – breast milk face wash
Breast milk is rich in nutrients and is the best food for babies. However, some young mothers have a lot of milk. They like to smear the milk on the baby’s face after breastfeeding. They think that this will make the baby’s skin white and delicate. the result will backfire
1 Breast milk is rich in nutrients and is a good medium for bacterial growth and reproduction. In addition, the baby’s facial skin is particularly delicate and the blood vessels are extremely rich. If breast milk is applied, the bacteria will easily settle down and multiply, and will take advantage of the weakness and invade the pores.
2 At the beginning, it will cause the baby’s facial skin to be flushed, and soon turn into small blisters and then purulent. If not treated in time, it will fester and form scars, destroying the baby’s appearance.
3 If it is summer, the milk will also be rotten and smelly, which is very unsanitary.

The baby’s skin is delicate, and in the face of the scorching sun, the baby’s delicate skin will be prone to sunburn, redness, red spots and even itching, all of which are caused by ultraviolet rays. Therefore, it is very necessary for children to pay attention to sun protection from an early age.
10-1 years old: You can use umbrellas, sun hats, eyes, sunscreen clothing, etc. for sun protection. At the same time, pay attention to the time to go out and avoid going out during the time of strong ultraviolet rays (10-14 o’clock);
Over 21 years old: You can buy some baby sunscreens for sun protection. When purchasing, you can pay attention that only SPF15 is required for daily sun protection when you go out. If you go to places with strong sunshine, such as the beach, you can consider products with SPF25 or above.

Many mothers believe that the traditional cotton diapers absorb sweat, which is more suitable for the baby’s skin than the diapers, so that the baby can adapt more quickly, but this is not the case.
