Caring for your baby’s sensitive skin during Monsoons: A Complete Guide
Embracing the monsoons while nurturing your little one’s tender skin can be quite the task, considering the added moisture and humidity the season brings. But worry not, here’s your personal guide on how to ensure your baby’s skin stays fresh and healthy, even amidst the pitter-patter:
1. Bathing Basics
Make bath time a gentle affair by using lukewarm water and a mild, pH-balanced baby wash that’s free from SLS and Parabens. Avoid strongly scented soaps which may not agree with your little one’s sensitive skin.
Our Tots & Bubbles baby bath wash and tear-free hair shampoo, infused with lavender and cardamom oils, not only offers a nurturing cleanse but also aids in preventing common infections that monsoons might bring along.
2. Dry with Love!
After bath time, cradle your baby’s skin by gently patting it dry with a soft towel. Pay special attention to their skin folds, ensuring they are dry to prevent rashes and infections.
3. Lotion Up
Keep their skin soft and moisturized with a nourishing lotion post-bath. Choose lotions that have anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, and anti-septic properties, and are unscented.
Baby Lotion, enriched with kokum butter and coconut oil, is designed to keep skin irritation at bay while maintaining skin’s pH balance.
4. Diaper Duty
Post-lotion, remember to apply a thin layer of diaper rash cream or petroleum jelly to the diaper area during each change. This helps in creating a protective barrier and prevents diaper rash. Frequent diaper changes can also keep the area dry and clean.
5. Rash Patrol
Post-lotion, remember to apply a thin layer of diaper rash cream or petroleum jelly to the diaper area during each change. This helps in creating a protective barrier and prevents diaper rash. Frequent diaper changes can also keep the area dry and clean.
6. Hydration Station
Keeping your baby well-hydrated during monsoons is essential. Provide them with plenty of water, milk, or formula to keep their skin glowing and healthy.
7. Comfort Corner
Monsoons can mean excessive humidity which may lead to discomfort for your little one. Ensure their play and sleep areas have a dehumidifier or air conditioning to keep them comfortable and their skin dry.
8. Dressing Right
Opt for light, breathable cotton fabrics to dress your baby. It not only reduces the risk of skin irritation but also prevents excessive sweating on humid days. Avoid synthetic materials and tight-fitting clothes.C
9. Cleaning Code
Avoid harsh detergents, fabric softeners, and strong cleaning products for anything your baby’s skin might come into contact with – be it their clothes, toys, or bedding.
10. Monsoon Mingle
Avoid stepping out in heavy rains unless absolutely necessary. Areas with stagnant water can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Use a mosquito net and mild mosquito repellent for babies when you step out.
11. Knowing Triggers
Stay informed about any allergies or sensitivities your baby might have. This is especially important while introducing new foods, skincare products, or medications.
