When a long-awaited baby comes into the world, a young inexperienced mother is waiting for a lot of trials. In the shortest possible time it is necessary for her to learn how to take care of a baby, to feed and bathe properly. And most importantly - to master the art of dressing the baby so as not to overheat it. The result of improperly selected attire often becomes a sweating - a characteristic rash on the face and body of the baby.
What does a baby boil look like?
Symptoms of sweating in newborns are the appearance of placers of small pink pimples in the area of natural folds of the skin on the neck, in the elbows, underarms, in the buttocks and groin. Many mothers are interested in the question of whether there is a perspiration on the face. On face sweating in newborns is very rare, in especially neglected cases, when the rest of the body is affected with a small rash. In this case the sweating in the newborn usually appears on the forehead, in places covered with a cap or under the hair. The development of the sweating on the face of newborns is a clear testimony to the fact that they take care of the baby incorrectly, in particular, overheat it too much.
Infusion in the newborn: reasons
There is sweating in children due to sweating and secretion in the sweat glands. Very often parents notice characteristic eruptions in the hot season or after a rise in body temperature with diseases. But the most important reason that the skin of a baby suffers is a banal overheating. Parents are so afraid that their child will freeze, that they are ready to eat it without measure both in summer and in winter, and in the end only harm the baby. That is why, it is very important to buy newborn clothes made from natural materials that pass air well, monitor humidity and temperature in the children's room, and do not be too lazy to arrange baby air baths as often as possible.
Sweating or allergies in newborns: how to distinguish?
Despite similar external manifestations, sweating, in contrast to allergies, the problem is more harmless and easier to treat. As already mentioned above, it arises as a result of a violation of the thermal regime, so if a child becomes covered with a pink rash after sweating - it is a sweating. If the irritation on the skin appeared after experiments with nutrition in a nursing mother or the introduction of a new complementary food - we are already talking about the manifestations of allergies. In addition, on the face of the child, perspiration appears in the last place, because it provides an influx of fresh air and sweats it much less often. Therefore, if the rash has started to appear from the area of the face, it is worthwhile to see a doctor immediately, in time to diagnose and begin treatment.
Remedies for sweating from a newborn
In order to get rid of your favorite child as soon as possible from an unpleasant hot pot, parents must observe the following rules:
- Baby clothes should be as natural as possible and letting air in. No matter how pleasing the eyes are bright things made of synthetic materials, for children's delicate skin there is nothing better than cotton. Do not be afraid to "freeze" the baby when it becomes cold, he will give you
know loud angry shout and hiccough. If the child quietly sleeps sweetly, then it is warm and comfortable. - The temperature in the baby's room should not exceed 22 °, and the air should not be over-dried. If you can not lower the temperature in the room, often arrange crumbs with air baths, and increase the humidity in all possible ways, whether it's a humidifier or a water tank.
- Regularly bathe the baby, using for the treatment of herb herbs: turn and chamomile (per liter of water 6 tablespoons of a mixture of herbs in a ratio of 1/1). You can also bathe the baby in a weak potassium permanganate.
