    Almost all newborns will have peeling, whether it is a slight dandruff, or a snake-like peeling, as long as the baby eats and sleeps is normal. When the baby is in the mother's womb, it is soaked in amniotic fluid, and there is a layer of white and greasy vernix on the surface of the body, which can protect the baby. After the baby is born, this layer of vernix is gradually washed off, so that ** is directly exposed to dry air, so there is molting on the baby's body.

    After birth, the baby changes from a moist environment immersed in amniotic fluid to a dry environment, and the epidermal keratotic layer of the newborn with a vigorous metabolism is no exception and becomes flakes shedding. Because the tissue between the neonatal epidermis and the dermis is not close enough, parents should take good care of the newborn This is a normal phenomenon do not worry, newborns will molt, some mothers do not know that they will give their children ointment and the like, remind novice mothers, if you don't know what you don't know, you can ask the elders at home or consult on the Internet, don't give children indiscriminate medicine!

    The tissue between the neonatal epidermis and the dermis is not tight enough, and the epidermal keratosis is easy to form dandruff and fall off, and the peeling is because the uppermost stratum corneum of the newborn is not fully developed and easy to fall off, and the basement membrane connecting the epidermis and the dermis is not developed in the newborn, so that the connection between the epidermis and the dermis is not tight enough, resulting in an increase in the chance of epidermal shedding. In some rural areas, it is commonly known as relieving bitter skin, if it is just taken off once, and it is no longer taken off later, it is newborn peeling.

    Most babies are born within two weeks, there is a phenomenon of peeling, some babies will show a relatively slight appearance, some babies will peel off will be very serious, the whole body, there will be obvious peeling, especially the hands and feet and belly. During the molting period, you can apply some lubricating oil to keep it moist, because if the baby is dry, there will be a small crack after molting, and there is a risk of infection. Secondly, do not tear off your baby's molt and wait for it to fall off naturally.

    Parents are surprised when many babies are born. Because the child looks wrinkled, it is not good at all, and even the child will peel one after another. So some parents are very confused.

    Why does the child peel when he is born? This is because most babies behave this way after birth, so it's normal to peel your skin. But there are many novice parents who don't know what causes their children to peel.

    Let's take your parents to find out more about it and provide more appropriate care for your peeling baby! The reason why many novice parents attach great importance to the problem of baby peeling is because some children have very bad peeling and red bodies, so they are very worried about whether the child has any strange diseases. In fact, neonatal peeling is mainly caused by these reasons.

    After birth, newborn babies tend to have a faster metabolism because they are at the peak of their growth and development. Therefore, many parents will find that the baby at this stage changes frequently every day, and may change a lot after birth in the first month than the newborn baby. This also makes the child's metabolism faster, resulting in a more vigorous metabolic function, so there will be large-scale peeling.

    Especially for some babies born prematurely, the problem of peeling may be more obvious. The baby has been soaked in the amniotic fluid for 10 months, and the wettability will be very high. However, after the baby is born, the humidity in the air drops significantly, so the baby's ** will become very dry.

    At this stage, children will have extensive peeling due to more water loss and dryness. In general, the peeling caused by dryness will gradually ease after the child adapts to the external environment, so there is no need to worry too much. Then, after the child is born, because all aspects of their body are not fully developed, the keratinotic layer of the epidermis is also relatively thin.

    In addition, the other ** surfaces of children are not tightly connected because their development is not particularly perfect. This leads to the fact that the child's ** will peel off as the body develops, but most children will gradually increase with the increase of months, and this peeling phenomenon will slowly disappear.

    However, parents should also be aware of some other symptoms of peeling in their children. For example, their child's ** is scaly, which may be caused by pathological reasons, which is an abnormal phenomenon. After abnormal desquamation in children, parents should take their children to the hospital in time and seek the help of professional doctors to prevent the desquamation of children from becoming more and more serious.

    Then, when the child is in the peeling stage, many parents dare not take care of the baby, for fear that their improper operation will cause damage to the child. Therefore, parents can start from these aspects and often take correct care of and protect their newborns. Many parents are afraid to wash their children after seeing their skin peeling, but this can actually cause a lot of problems.

    For example, because the child is not clean, sweat accumulates, the armpits and other parts are damp, and even ulcerates, so it is particularly important to clean the baby in time.
