The COVID-19 pandemic emphasized more than ever on hygiene habits for humans to survive. Nowadays, people are more conscious than ever of their hygiene. Proper hygienic care is especially crucial when it comes to babies. Their cleanliness requires extra attention and care, but keeping up with these requirements and ensuring that your child is raised in a safe environment can be challenging. However, keeping the following simple practices in mind will assist you in providing your child with the best hygienic care.

First and foremost, you should always touch your child with clean hands. When holding your infant, wash your hands frequently since you don't want to expose them to any contaminants. Infants' immune systems are at a growing stage and are ill-equipped to deal with infections. It's also crucial to keep your baby's hands clean, in addition to washing your hands on a regular basis. Babies have a proclivity for picking up objects and putting them in their mouths, exposing themselves to dirt and pathogens. Keep in mind that their skin is too delicate to be scrubbed with ordinary soap on a regular basis when cleaning their hands.

Baby wipes as well as soaps that are specifically formulated for infant skin provide a gentle cleansing experience for the baby. Wipes can be used on newborn babies, but only ones that are specifically designed for their ultra-sensitive skin, like Mylo’s Gentle Baby Wipes. Here at Mylo, we have designed wipes that are alcohol-free, water-based, and contain natural moisturizing agents like glycerin, Vitamin E, coconut oil, aloe vera along with neem. These are non-irritating and can be used by everyone in the family to clean their hands or remove makeup. When you're leaving the house with your baby, having wipes on hand is equally essential to wipe off any spills or messes in the car, at a restaurant, or on the road.

Since you can’t stop your baby from picking up objects and putting them in their mouths, it's critical to sanitize everything they'll come in contact with. Toys, in particular, can become dirty as they may roll around on the floor and pick up contaminants along the way. Hard toys can be washed with soap while softer ones can be put in the washing machine.

You must pay extra attention to diaper changes in addition to keeping your baby and your hands clean. They should be done frequently, not only for the comfort of the baby but also for their hygiene. Diaper rashes and infections can result from leaving diapers on for long periods after they've been soiled. Soiled diapers should be removed immediately and cloth diapers should be changed every 4-5 hours. Cloth diapers that are certified, free of harmful chemicals and composed of breathable fabric protect the baby's skin. Mylo’s reusable cloth diaper is one such diaper that keeps your kid clean and comfortable.

When it comes to bathing your baby, infants do not require daily soap washes. Bathe your infant three times a week with lukewarm water, gentle soaps and shampoos. It's important to keep your baby's gums clean for oral health. Because you can't use a toothbrush right now, use a clean, damp cotton cloth or a finger brush to wipe away any excess food around your baby's gums. Plaques can arise if you are not careful about your baby's oral health.

Following these basic guidelines will assist you in protecting your child and raising them in a clean and safe environment. Providing good hygienic care for your newborn should not be a difficult process. You and your family will reap the benefits in the long run if you keep yourself, your spaces, and your baby clean with gentle products made with natural ingredients.
