Why do babies have fetal mud? When is the best time to take a bath when your baby has fetal mud?

In fact, the fetal mud in everyone's mouth is the fetal smegma, which will appear in every baby. The sebaceous glands of the baby's scalp are abundant, and if they are not eliminated immediately, they will accumulate with the dirt in the hair, and a thick layer of scabs will be formed over time. Very thick smearium can have the effect of protecting the baby**, and parents can remove it moderately for the baby.

To remove smearium for your little one, you can clean it with washing cooking oil. The method is to heat up the edible oil and then cool it and apply it to the cradle cap (or apply edible olive oil), and when the fetal smudge is loose, the fetal mud will be gently peeled off with an environmentally friendly cotton ball. Finally, change to baby soap and warm water.

If the tire smudge is thick, it needs to be eliminated several times, and do not forcibly remove it to avoid harming the baby**.

Having said so much, it is very likely that many parents will have doubts, because I have only talked about the causes of the formation of baby fetal mud and how to remove it, after all, I have not asked the baby when to take a bath. Don't be in a hurry, keep reading.

There is no clear rule about when it is best for babies and toddlers to bathe. In fact, 24 hours after the birth of the child, if there is nothing unusual in the baby, the newborn can be bathed. Bathing can not only clean, but also promote the baby's blood circulation system and basal metabolism, so that the baby can get a very good exercise, improve the baby's physical fitness, and promote the child's development.

However, compared to some new mothers, taking a shower does not seem to be such an easy thing. I warmly remind you that when you want to bathe your baby, you must do a good job in the moisture-proof medical care of the fetal umbilical cord to prevent the newborn umbilical cord from tingling. Moreover, Bao mother must not use the forced removal of the baby's fetal mud, which is not only likely to harm the baby**, but also may cause the baby to feel sick.

Generally speaking, due to the growth of the baby's age, as long as the daily cleaning and medical care is carried out, the fetal mud on the child's head will fall off normally. However, some babies have thick fetal mud on the top of their heads, and they must be soaked in cooking oil before they can fall off. If it is not removed, it is not only unsightly, but also endangers the heat discharge on the top of the baby's head, which has a negative impact on the healthy and happy growth of the child.

This is vernix, and it is also a thing that the child is present in the mother's belly. Bathing is possible at any time and does not affect your baby's health.

It's a self-protective thing that washes off when you're just born, when you take a bath.
