Hygiene from six months to one year
Hygiene of housing. As soon as the kids begin to crawl, they spend more and more time on the floor, which means they are more in contact with a variety of objects and get more dirty. At this time, it is necessary to take special care of the cleanliness of the room, where the baby creeps and "studies the world".It is necessary to observe the hygiene of all housing - sterilize children's dishes, food should always be stored in a refrigerator in a closed container, keep the toilet and bathroom cleanly clean.
Doing toys with a baby is not recommended, but he does not agree with that. In a crib, a toddler must only sleep. Usually kids, beginning to crawl, arrange a riding arena on the floor,
covering the floor, for example, with a bikini blanket. But this measure does not solve the problem: children, as a rule, do not want to sit in the arena for a long time and are bursting out. To "was quiet in the house," the baby is given freedom of movement throughout the apartment. The floor should be especially clean, wet cleaning should be done daily, because the kid touches all the handles, then pulls them into his mouth. The floor is best washed with a soap solution with the addition of soda or some kind of disinfectant. Collect dust regularly with a vacuum cleaner. Special purity must be maintained in the corridor. Street shoes are necessary immediately, as they came home, wash and clean in a closet, so that it was not available to the child.
Sometimes mothers prefer to take the kid is not toys, which he, maybe, was bored, but some household objects. Babies willingly clatter pots, carry with bags. Make sure that all this is clean and safe and the baby has not eaten, for example, a tube not hidden in a lipstick purse, or, God forbid, did not come across a nail file. Provide for the torment of the baby things that
you do not use and that will be completely safe in the study.
Systematic should be airing so that the air in the apartment is constantly updated.
Casual care. The face and hands of the baby with age should be washed more often. Now this is done not only during the morning toilet, but also repeatedly throughout the day - before each feeding, after it, if the child is dirty, and as necessary. Handles baby should remain clean, because he always shoves them into his mouth. Now you need a certain skill to wash it: the grown up child turns around and often resists.
In the morning it is necessary to wash the child and wash his face and wash his hands. After a walk, it is also recommended to wash the baby's face and wash the handles and change it into clean clothes. In general during the day, several times you have to change clothes, depending on how often the child gets dirty. The night clothes of the baby are changed every two days, if only it was not soiled. The child should always be dressed in a clean, it's not only hygienic, but also aesthetic. At this age, you should not allow a child to lie for a long time wet - he already has a feeling of disgust.
From an early age, form the child's basic hygienic skills: washing the face, washing hands before eating, tying a beautiful breastplate, etc. The baby should have his own handkerchief, under no circumstances. The child should keep medicines, any chemicals and productshousehold chemicals, sharp and cutting household items! Replace all exposed electrical outlets with closed ones!
Do not wipe your nose or eyes with an adult headscarf.
Bathing. It's still necessary to swim every evening. Prepare everything you need for bathing and put it so that every little thing can be easily reached. A child who likes to sit in a bath must be firmly supported. Many kids like to play in the water with toys. Wait until the child plays, and start washing, affectionately slandering. First, wash the body with baby soap, rinsing all the wrinkles. Spin can be easily massaged with a soft sponge. Complete the procedure with a head wash.
After bathing, wrap the child in a large terry towel or a flannel diaper with a hood. The skin of the baby is already a bit coarse, so you can not get it wet, but wipe it off, starting with the head.
Keep a child clean for external genitalia. Studying the world around him, he also examines his own organism. It's all interesting to touch his hands. One day the child will pay attention to the external genitalia. Some children have a habit of touching them. Therefore, the child's external genitalia should be clean.
If you do not wash and bathe your child regularly, he may have itching in the external genitalia, which causes the child to scratch their pens. You can remove a child from this habit by switching his attention to new or favorite toys.
Girls are rubbed on the external genitalia only in front to back direction;boys during bathing carefully wash the head of the segment and all the folds.
It happens that the baby is scared when swimming. Such trouble can lead to the fact that he becomes afraid of water. It will be necessary to stop bathing for a while, limiting hygiene measures by washing, rubbing, washing and washing, and it is better not in the bathroom. Re-accustom to the water should be carefully and patiently, allowing the baby to firstly paddle with handles in a basin of water. So "water games" can go to bathing.
But even if the kid loves to swim, it can be difficult to wash his head, because this is an unloved procedure for all children. Some people do not like it when they water the head with water and get water in their eyes. But 2 times a week you should gently wash your head with a soft baby shampoo "without tears" or with soap. You can do this not while swimming. Sit the child on his lap so that he does not see the water. Slice a soft cloth with warm water and wipe the head. Then easily apply a small amount of shampoo, affectionately
talking to the baby, and rinse it with a warm damp cloth.
Dental Care. Usually, after 6 months( in some children before), babies begin to erupt teeth. It must be ensured that the food stuck between the teeth does not remain in the mouth. After eating, allow him to drink some boiled water to rinse his mouth to remove food debris.
Pot problem. A child of 7-8 months, able to sit firmly, gradually accustom to the pot, while maintaining it. The education of this important skill facilitates caring for the care, and the child gets used to being constantly dry. The pot must always be clean and stand on the floor.
By the 11th month the child usually begins to ask for a pot. Completely the skills of neatness the child takes possession only by the 27th month of life.
