And every day this will lead to damage to the child's skin, plus every day letting the child soak in water will also lead to the child's skin becoming more sensitive, so every day bathing instead will let the children hurt.

2. will make the child's immune system lower

The skin is also a layer of protection for children, but because the skin of newborns is still relatively delicate, so their skin immunity is relatively low.

The oil and dust on the surface of the skin play a protective role, but if we often bathe the child and often wash off the oil and dust, this will lead to the child's skin more sensitive.

Because the skin surface of the protective layer is no longer if contact with some easy to cause allergy things almost the baby will soon be infected with allergies so the immunity is also reduced.

Because they are newborns their immunity is relatively low, and very sensitive to temperature because their skin is thin so feel the temperature will be much more sensitive than we are, so when you want to bathe your child must ensure that the temperature of the environment is appropriate.

Before bathing the baby in the bath environment heat up, so that the room temperature is slightly higher, or the child is easy to get cold because of the temperature difference, and in the child after the bath is to be wrapped in the bathroom to the child.

Then hold out again after rushing to another room with the right temperature.

2. control the water temperature

Water temperature is also a more important step because the baby's skin is thin, so the bath with the water temperature should be lower than we think appropriate temperature because after all, we have thick skin, and flesh can not feel the real water temperature.

Then we have to control the temperature we feel appropriate and then cool some, to avoid children being scalded.
