how to take skin care of baby in summer season

A. Taking care of a 2-month-old baby's skin in summer is important to prevent rashes, heat irritation, and dryness. Here are some essential summer skincare tips: 1. Keep the Baby Cool ✅ Lightweight Clothing: Dress your baby in soft, loose cotton clothes. ✅ Stay Indoors: Avoid going out during peak heat (10 AM - 4 PM). ✅ Proper Ventilation: Keep the room cool with a fan or AC (set at 24-26°C). 2. Bathing & Hygiene ✅ Lukewarm Water Bath: Bathe your baby once a day or sponge with a damp cloth. ✅ Mild Soap: Use a gentle, fragrance-free baby soap (like Cetaphil, Sebamed, or Himalaya). ✅ Moisturizing: Apply a light, non-sticky baby lotion to prevent dryness. 3. Rash & Sweat Protection ✅ Diaper-Free Time: Let the baby stay without a diaper for some time daily. ✅ Anti-Rash Powder: Use talc-free baby powder only in folds (avoid overuse). ✅ Coconut Oil: Apply a thin layer for soothing heat rashes. 4. Hydration & Feeding ✅ Frequent Breastfeeding: Keeps the baby hydrated and cool. ✅ Formula-fed Babies: Offer small, frequent feeds to avoid dehydration. 5. Sun Protection ✅ Avoid Direct Sun Exposure: Keep baby in the shade, and use a hat or umbrella when outdoors. ✅ No Sunscreen: Babies under 6 months should not use sunscreen; instead, use physical protection like a cloth cover. If your baby develops red heat rashes, dry patches, or excessive sweating, consult a pediatrician.
