Patient's question:
It has been almost eleven months now. She drinks three glasses of milk a day, 180 milliliters each time, in the morning, at noon, and at midnight.I am from Yanling County, Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province. It's getting cold now, so should I take a bath every day? How often is the most appropriate time to bathe? Will my bones be damaged if I bathe less frequently?
What kind of assistance I need: Please experts, give me more advice or suggestions on this matter. Thank you very much. I am eager to know.
Doctor's answer:
Taking a bath is acceptable, because the child's skin is delicate and smooth. Only local washing after urination and defecation daily cannot be completely clean. Moreover, using disposable diapers or other absorbent pads makes it difficult for the baby to breathe, and urine strikes can easily cause diaper rash. Taking a bath every day can prevent diaper rash.Through bathing, bacteria on the baby's body can be washed away, thus preventing respiratory, digestive tract infections, and preventing skin bacterial infections. Small babies have a more active oil secretion, and frequent bathing not only keeps them clean but also benefits their skin and promotes brain development.
