Dr. Hariya shared a guide on the baby care in the monsoon, including 5 essential tips:

1. Bathtime

• Daily cleaning is important to remove sweat, dirt and pollutants, especially from the folds around the neck, thighs and underarm. It is recommended to give a small bath to the child once a day using lukewarm water for about 5-10 minutes.
• Select a mild, soap-free cleanser prepared with collaidal oatmeal, a dermatologist-discomfort component known to be gently purified without drying, swelling and itching, and supports the natural pH and barrier function of the skin.
• Avoid using over-bath or hot water, as well as using hard soap, cleanser, or bubble baths can worsen skin irritation.
• After each bath or wipe, it is necessary that the skin folds are gently patted using a soft towel to dry. Moist skin folds can quickly cause fungal infections or wet weather rashes.

2. Collaidal porridge-based moisturizer

• They are recommended to moisturize from day 1 for sensitive skin conditions, repair obstruction and remove symptoms.
• A baby’s skin may feel soft but is clinically dry, which is common in the skin of a sensitive child. This can lead to micro-cross, which can increase the risk of irritation and skin vulnerability.

• Corticosteroid creams (if necessary) should be applied every 4-6 hours on dryness and 30 minutes before using.

3. Smart diaper tricks

• Monsoon humidity increases the risk of diaper grain in sensitive skin. Change the diaper repeatedly and clean the area with alcohol-free baby wipes or a damp cloth.
• Use a zinc oxide-based diaper cream to create a breath, protective barrier.
• Look for sutras that are fragrant and rich with skin-churning materials such as oat extracts.

4. Choose breathable clothes

• Wet clothes and synthetic fabrics are a recipe for sensitive skin irritation.
• Dress your baby in a soft, breath cotton that absorbs sweat and allows air circulation.
• Always change moist clothes to avoid fungal infections or chewing.
