Keeping your baby clean is very important for his/her hygiene. Read on to find tips on keeping your little one clean and tidy.
- While sponging your baby, always wash his face first, while the water is the cleanest.
- Make sure that the nappy is clean and dry and in case the nappy gets infected, using a little antiseptic powder will help dry it. Do not use disinfectants on your baby's skin, because they take away the skin's natural ability to fight infection.
- Always remember to wash the baby's hands after she has come in contact with pets.
- Till the baby is four months old, sterilise everything that goes into your baby's mouth. Try keeping her away from people that are sick. After 4 months continue sterilising milk utensils and water bottles.
- Be careful about storage and heating of milk, never leave it at room temperature for too long.
