Monsoon Health Care Tips For Babies

 

While after hot summer mansoons bring relief to our body and mind, mothers begin to worry about the health of their baby. This humid, moist weather is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other germs that could lead to malaria, dengue, and microbial infections. Here are a few tips that moms can follow in this weather to protect their baby.

How To Take Care Of Your Baby In The Monsoons?

 

1) Keep your baby clean and dry during Monsoons:

During the monsoons season, weather changes frequently and drastically. Keeping the baby clean and dry is important as the weather can be humid. Humidity can cause bacteria to grow, which in turn can cause infection. Give the right bath and dress up in loose fitting clothes. Wipe often when the baby is sweating. Continue checking for any fungal infection under the arms, neck and diaper area.

 

2. A healthy diet for mothers breastfeeding:

Opt for breastfeeding as often as possible as it provides the antibodies and probiotics that your child needs to stay protected. You should also follow a good diet, as these nutrients are what your child will receive essentially through your milk.

 

3. Wear warm and breathable clothes:

The atmosphere undergoes two major changes when the monsoons dawn on us. The rains bring the surrounding area’s temperature down and allow the trapped heat to escape. As a result, this also increased the humidity in the air. This is a strange combination that simultaneously makes you feel cold and hot. In such cases, letting your child wear thick cotton clothes or light fabrics made partially from wool is best. Not only do they keep him warm, but they also allow his skin to breathe.

 

4.  Protect infant against mosquitoes:

The rainy season also creates mosquitoes, and protecting the baby against them is important.

  • The best way is to ensure that your home is not stagnant and that mosquitoes don’t breed.
  • Regularly clean water coolers and remove all water if not in use.
  • Keep your baby dressed in clothes covered but loose.
  • For baby mosquito repellents such as patches that can be applied to clothes and not to skin, you can use safely.

 

5. Food should always be prepared freshly:

It is necessary to make fresh food for them for each meal for slightly grown-up babies that have started solids. Formulas should be prepared in boiled water to remove infection possibilities. After each feeding, all utensils the baby uses should be sterilized.

 

6. Trim your baby’s nails:

Humid weather can cause itching and rashes. Keep your baby’s nails trimmed so that during itching he/she doesn’t harm themselves. Also, bacteria can harbor under the nails, so regularly trim, baby and your own nails.

 

7. Change diapers frequently:

Changing diapers or cloth nappies during the monsoons season becomes crucial. Extra moisture can cause moisture to be locked in the nappy region in particular, causing rashes and infection. Therefore, make sure you keep the nappy region of the baby dry by frequently changing diapers. You can even give extra air time to the baby by letting the baby go free of diapers when the baby is at home.

 

8. Wash your hands whenever you change your child:

This is a hygiene habit for all seasons, but it is even more important during rainy seasons when you are unaware of infections at any time.

Also, whenever you change or feed baby, wash or disinfect your hands.

You can also keep a disinfectant in the vicinity of a cot, allowing anybody to take charge of the baby.

 

9. Treat any infections immediately:

Cough and cold often begin to infect and soon become stubborn cough, which lasts for weeks. So, if your child shows any signs of cough and cold, treat them immediately instead of waiting for them to resolve themselves. Young children still develop immunity, and these infections need help.

 

10. Do a pre-monsoon check:

In your house, especially in your baby’s room, always do a pre-monsoons check before the rain starts. There should be no humidity or water leakage in that room. The electrical wiring should be correct and the house should be clean and clean.

 

How Often During Monsoons Should You Bathe Your Baby?

 

Because a baby is primary indoors, a daily bath is not needed. It can also give your baby relief from heat two to three times a week, and especially around humid times. Definitely give him a nice warm water bath if your child was outside.

Literally, monsoons paste a smile on kids and babies. Most childhood memories are made of playing in the rain and setting up paper boats. By taking the right monsoons baby care tips, the little kids can also make the best of the weather and you can also be assured of their health and safety.
