#asktheexpert my baby is having cold runny nose..I have been giving him only body bath since 3 days ..can I give head bath also?

A. Yes, you can give your baby a head bath, but take some precautions to avoid worsening the cold: ✔ Tips for Giving a Head Bath During Cold: ✅ Use lukewarm water – Avoid cold water as it may worsen the symptoms. ✅ Keep the bath short – Don't let your baby stay wet for too long. ✅ Dry the head immediately – Use a soft towel and dry the hair thoroughly. ✅ Keep the room warm – Ensure there is no direct cold air from a fan or AC. ✅ Best time: Morning or afternoon – Avoid bathing in the evening to prevent chills. If your baby has fever or severe congestion, it's better to wait a few more days before giving a head bath.
