Day-to-day care of your baby |
|
Good dental hygiene should start early. As soon as your baby starts teething, begin cleaning his teeth. Sometimes, parents are unaware that even babies are exposed to sugars. Did you know that natural sugars in breast milk can cause tooth decay? Hence, it is important to look after your baby's teeth as soon as they appear. Your little one should start to teeth at around six months old and will continue to have a complete set of 20 milk teeth by two and a half years old. A healthy set of teeth is essential for baby's development. With good teeth, your child can enjoy a healthy diet, thereby allowing proper jaw growth and speech development. PIGEON Trainer Toothbrush Set can be used for all stages of tooth growth. Lesson 1 Toothbrush has a safety shield for practice in the baby's mouth. Lesson 2 Toothbrush has rubber bristles that are soft enough for baby's gums. Introduce Lesson 3 Toothbrush after all milk teeth have appeared. The rounded bristle-ends are tender and gentle on baby's gums. |
Bellybutton |
|
Many mothers are nervous about changing diapers while the umbilical cord is still attached. But your baby's umbilical cord will fall off eventually, so just be patient. Once it has fallen off, it is important that you continue cleaning the belly button with alcohol for a while and expose it to air as often as possible. You should also make sure it does not rub against his diapers. |
Ears and nose |
| Cleaning your baby's ears |
| Use cotton swabs to remove the dirt. A tiny bit of baby oil will help make the cleaning process easier. The best time to clean his ears is when his skin is still damp just after a bath. |
| Cleaning your baby's nose |
| There is a lot of mucous trapped inside that tiny nose. If you try to clean too deeply, you could damage his delicate membranes, so exercise caution. Use a narrow cotton swab for babies or tweezers with rounded tips to remove only the mucous that are outside the nose. If your baby doesn't like having his nose cleaned, do the cleaning when he is asleep. |
