The most important thing on growth curves is how your baby grows over time. If he's small but growing at the appropriate rate, there's usually no cause for concern. ||By rising the temperature, the body can stop a virus's ability to grow. That's why we get fevers ||In case of eczema, use mild, unscented body and laundry soaps. Pat baby's skin dry; don't rub ||When your infant is carried, he should be oriented toward the carrying adult ||Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently. It’s not the type of soap that prevents the spread of bacteria and viruses; it’s how you wash your hands. ||The AAP recommends sponge baths until the umbilical cord stump falls off — which might take up to three weeks ||Don't allow your pet on the couch while you are holding baby. This makes dogs bigger and taller in relation to your infant and may encourage aggression. ||AAP recommends to avoid blankets (a potential suffocation hazard) until your baby reaches her first birthday ||If your child's scalp is very crusty, put some baby oil or olive oil on the scalp 1 hour before washing to soften the crust ||The more you help your toddler put his feelings into words (“I’m mad. I want the truck.” “I’m sad. I can’t find my bear.”), the less they will show aggressive behaviour. ||
Sweat Rash


It is a common cause of rash during summer season.

 

It is a maculo-papular rash due to mechanical obstruction of the sweat ducts.

 

The neck, trunk, diaper area and the covered areas of the skin are the commonest sites of affection.

 

Most parents and grandparents are afraid of the cold, many do even advice an extra layer of clothes to your baby. This is not true: it is normal for the babies to sneeze, to have green colored stools, to have slightly cold hands these are not indications that your baby is cold. The only true indication is a cold tip of the nose. It is normal to dress your baby as you dress, to turn the air condition on without fears.

 
Management:
  • Avoid further sweating
  • Do not irritate the skin: Avoidance of excessive clothing
  • Cooling of the affected area by cool water compresses
  • Avoid using talc powder, ointments and creams as they will further increase the mechanical obstruction.
  • Calamine lotion
