Babies can soak their feet, but they are a little different from adults. Because the baby's physiology is not fully developed, there are still many things to pay attention to when soaking feet. One of them is that it is not recommended to soak your baby's feet every day. Because soaking feet every day may not only hurt your baby's skin, but also easily catch a cold.
In addition, the temperature is also very important when soaking feet. Warm water is usually used instead of hot water. It is recommended to be between 38 and 40 degrees in summer. After the weather turns cold, it can be raised appropriately, and 45 degrees is no problem. The amount of water should not be too much, and the whole foot should be submerged. And the soaking time should not be too long, usually 3 to 5 minutes.
After soaking your feet, you can also knead the soles of your feet properly, which is good for your baby's sleep and growth. The timing of soaking feet can not be ignored. It is not recommended to soak your feet for half an hour after a meal, because blood mainly gathers in the gastrointestinal tract after a meal. If you soak your feet at this time, it will make blood flow to your feet and affect the absorption of the digestive system. It will lead to long-term indigestion and malnutrition, which will affect the baby's growth and development.
