Is a baby bath necessary?

Parents try to give their baby the best and highest quality, even if it concerns ordinary bathing. Leading pediatricians insist on teaching children to swim early, as this process is the best way to harden. Among other things, prolonged bathing develops the ability to control one's own body, strengthens the vestibular apparatus and improves the functions of the musculoskeletal system.

The circle for, used in the bathroom, reduces the increased muscle tone of the baby, allowing the baby to move freely in the water.

  1. The circle before bathing babies is put on not on the tummy, but on the baby's neck. This will help keep the head above the surface of the water in any position of the body without the active participation of parents.
  2. On the inside, the circle is equipped with a wide platform that holds the chin and prevents the head from slipping out or the child swallowing water if he accidentally presses the side to his face. In the first months of life, newborns retain an increased flexion tone. This is manifested in the desire of the baby to take the usual intrauterine position: the limbs and head simultaneously bend and are attracted to the stomach. Therefore, it is important to prevent splash water from collecting on the circle at chin level.
  3. The circle for comfortable bathing has a reliable fastener with a clip and Velcro tape, with the help of which the level of coverage of the neck is adjusted. The free ends of the circle are firmly pressed against each other so that the child does not take a sip of water while floating on his back.

Organization of proper bathing

There are no fundamental differences, but if a newborn loves to bathe, it is advisable to get a couple of degrees cooler in the bathroom to avoid overheating. If you have trouble sleeping or your baby is having a hard time falling asleep, it's best to schedule your bath time before your night's rest. Water procedures in tandem with a comfortable circle will bring a lot of positive impressions, psychologically defuse and give pleasant fatigue. And the baby will be provided with a calm and sound sleep.

Procedure safety

Air chambers with separate inflatable valves ensure safe bathing of the crumbs. Even if one part of the circle is accidentally damaged, the second will securely hold the little swimmer on the surface of the water. The place of contact of the circle with the neck of the baby has a unique "internal seam", which allows you to tightly and at the same time gently cover the neck without rubbing the delicate skin on it.

Thanks to two convenient handles, parents will be able to direct the movements of the newborn in the process of bathing. You can attach the circle down with the handles so that the baby can grab onto them, developing new functions for themselves in a pleasant way.

Contraindications

There is also a downside to using the circle under the following conditions:

  • the presence of viral infections, hypertensive-hydrocephalic syndrome;
  • a period of recovery and adaptation after a birth injury with damage to the collarbone or joint in the shoulder, when free swimming is prohibited;
  • congenital epidermolysis bullosa due to the risk of neck wounds on contact with the circle;
  • temporary ban for pustular lesions of the skin on the neck until complete recovery.

In all other cases, you can safely put the circle on the baby and enjoy the pleasant moments of water games.
