The weather is extremely hot right now and some areas of the United States have heat advisories. These hot temperatures can be difficult for a pregnant woman, especially if she's due any minute. If you're pregnant, swimming is a great way to cool down and also get your low-impact exercise in.
Some women actually prefer having summer babies because they don't feel trapped during the winter months and can take their new baby for a walk outside instead of holing up indoors. In addition to walks, many new moms wonder about swimming when they'll be able to take their newborn swimming.
When a baby can swim is something you should check with your Pediatrician. If you simply search online you might read anything from "the baby can swim when the naval closes up" to "not before 3 months". Additionally, many parents online caution not to put your child in chlorine pools and recommend salt water or fresh water only. All of this information can be confusing so in the interest of your baby's well-being ALWAYS check with your doctor.
One thing that is important for all parents to remember is that little “fun in the sun” can quickly turn sour and cause summertime skin woes for babies. A newborn’s skin is sensitive and needs constant gentle care regardless of the weather. The skin on your newborn's body is virtually perfect yet ultra sensitive and delicate. Therefore it is important for new parents to pay close attention to their newborn’s skin for ailments ranging from sunburns to skin irritations during these summer months.
Although diaper rash can be a common skin irritation for babies the risk is heightened during the summer months. The heat, humidity and perspiration can cause an irritation that aggravates sensitive bottoms. Belli’s Protect Me Diaper Rash Cream is one of Belli's safe diaper rash remedies that forms a gentle barrier that soothes chafed skin and protects it from wetness. Protect Me Diaper Rash Cream pampers and protects newborns all summer long.
Belli’s Summer Diaper Rash Remedies and Prevention:
• Check your baby's diaper every hour and change it often-- as soon as it's wet or soiled, especially on hot humid days and after pool time
• Clean your baby's bottom at each diaper change. Use plain warm (not hot) water with or without a very mild soap
• Allow your baby's skin to dry before putting on a clean diaper
• Apply Protect Me Diaper Rash Cream liberally as often as necessary with each diaper change to protect your baby's skin from moisture
