Patient's question:
Does not taking a bath affect newborns? The child has been in this condition for a while, and I dare not give them medicine. Please give me some advice.Doctor's answer:
Hello, newborns should be bathed frequently due to their high metabolism. The ideal room temperature for bathing newborns is above 23 degrees Celsius, preferably 25 degrees. A basin bath can be used, with the water temperature being just warm enough to not burn an adult's elbow.Prepare a large towel in advance. Once the child is out of the water after bathing, wrap them immediately in the towel to keep them warm while drying their body. Those with better conditions can bathe their child every three days, while those with less favorable conditions can do so once a week.
