Baby Massage : Baby
massage is a good old tradition of nurturing the infants, followed by people
since centuries. Take few drops of olive oil in your palm and apply it in the
circular motion. But be careful your child body is delicate so do not give
pressure to your hands while massaging.
* Growing Teeth : Make small pieces of potato and cool them
in your fridge. Give you child pieces of cold potato and tell him to place them
inside his mouth on the tooth that is paining. The cold will sooth the pain. This
works well with cucumber too. Find Doctor.
* Skin Care : Your baby could suffer from various skin
problems if you do not provide proper protection to the baby skin. Use products
that are especially for soft and sensitive baby skin. Apply soft and gentle
soap and shampoos which does not contains hard chemicals & use only branded
products. Baby’s skin absorbs lotion easily so avoid strong moisturizers.
According to season you should use body lotion (mild) cream for baby skin.
* Bath Time : Before you take your baby for bath, get
everything that you need at one place. Never leave your baby alone in water.
Use only gentle baby soap. A soft towel or cloth should be used to dry your
baby. Sponge bath is more suitable for newborn babies as their skin is very
delicate.
* Leg Bicycling : Just keep your baby on his back and firmly
hold his legs in a half bent position. Next, start moving his legs in a manner,
as if he is paddling a bicycle. See that you do it gently. Maintain a steady
pace, neither do it too fast, nor make it too slow. This will help in
controlling your baby constipation.
* Cold Treatment : Use a cool mist humidifier in your
infants bedroom. A humidifier adds moisture to the air, which helps ease your
baby’s congestion and cough. Use water only. Do not add any oils or medicines
to the humidifier unless directed by your pediatrician.
* Fever Cure : Take a dry cloth, dip it into the vessel
making it completely wet and drain out the excess water. Place it on the baby’s
forehead for two minutes and repeat the process. You should be doing this three
to four times in a day for at least 20 to 25 minutes. This will help lower the
temperature to a great extent.
* Earache : Oils can be very soothing to an inflamed
eardrum. Place a few drops of olive oil, castor oil or mineral oil into your
child’s ear. You can also gently warm the oil first, but be very careful not to
make it too hot because that could damage the eardrum.
