Among the many offered baby care products, a special place is occupied by oil for newborns.

It is economical, useful and sometimes irreplaceable.

Oil for newborns is used for diaper rash, dry skin, for the treatment of nasal passages, etc. The right choice of oil is very important.

Choice

What is the best oil for newborns? To answer this question, you should first find out which oils for newborns are most popular and how they differ:

• Olive - nourishes and moisturizes the baby's skin, has an antiseptic effect, light;
• Sunflower - gives a good effect on very dry skin, accelerates skin regeneration;

Choosing the right oil for a newborn is easy - just remember the following:

• Carefully study the composition, indications and contraindications for use. In the composition of the oil for newborns, ideally, there should be only one component - the oil itself. If it is olive, sunflower, peach oil, then it is indicated in the composition.

  Some oils are mixed with each other (thuja oil for newborns contains a base - olive oil and an active ingredient - thuja oil).

  There should not be any fragrances, preservatives - all these synthetic components are additional allergens;

• Buy in specialized stores or pharmacies.

It's all about the composition and quality of the oil itself. You should also pay attention to the packaging - it should be convenient for use and small (it's good if there is a dispenser on the bottle).

We actively used Tui Edas 801 oil with our eldest son. When his daughter was born, he began to go to the garden - the adaptation period does not pass without infections, and there is a newborn in the house, so the pediatrician advised us Edas 801 - this is a homeopathic remedy that has a powerful antibacterial effect. They treated the baby's nose, folds - the skin instantly became tender, velvety, no diaper rash and other troubles. The nose is clean and infections did not cling, up to a year they did not even get sick with a runny nose.

Difference from cream and milk

Young parents often face the question, is there a difference between oil, cream and milk? What is better to choose from a wide variety of good baby products?

• Cream it is more intended for processing certain parts of the body on which minor irritations have appeared, it is undesirable to spread the whole baby with them.
• Oil can be used in many cases, applying to all areas of the skin of a small child. The oil is designed to protect the skin from mechanical damage that can occur during the friction of the diaper on the baby's legs, or such as peeling or dry skin. The main difference between butter and milk is the consistency, and that the latter is quickly absorbed.
• Milk more suitable for cleansing the skin, instead of soap. It allows you to maintain water-fat balance.

It is better that in the arsenal of a young mother there are cream, milk, and oil. They can be used alternately, or according to the situation.

Moms know or guess that oiling the delicate skin of a newborn to cleanse, protect and nourish. Tiny children are defenseless and subject to influence from outside, they are not able to take care of themselves. The responsibility for the health and protection of the infant rests with the parents. Careful observance of hygiene rules will keep the baby's skin clean, tender, velvety, elastic, healthy.

Newborn skin

The skin of babies in the first time after birth partially replaces the baby's organs of hearing and vision. With the help of tactile contacts, the baby learns the world around him. Therefore, it is so important to keep the skin of the crumbs clean, dry, and at a comfortable temperature.

Nature has created on the surface of human skin the so-called mantle, that is, the surface water-lipid layer. This layer is designed to protect the skin from environmental influences, temperature changes, and promotes the production of vitamin D.

Insufficiency of keratin in the skin of infants, a thin stratum corneum, the proximity of blood vessels makes it dry, easily flaky, vulnerable. To avoid irritation, diaper rash, diathesis, protect the baby's skin from birth. Oil for newborns will help take care of the health of children's skin.

What are

Oils have long been valued as the focus of vitamins, especially vitamin E, D, trace elements, and antioxidants. Vegetable oils are squeezed out of seeds and fruits of plants, used for food: sunflower, olive, nut, sesame, cocoa, avocado. They are useful in the content of oleic, linoleic and other fatty acids.

In aromatherapy and cosmetology, essential oils are valued, which are produced by extraction or distillation of flowers, fruits, leaves, rhizomes. They have pleasant aromas. The raw materials for cooking are plants with a bright smell: eucalyptus, calamus, juniper, camphor, anise, oregano.

For hygiene procedures for children and adults, vegetable, medical, mineral, essential oils are suitable.

In medicine, oil for newborns is used on a plant or mineral basis, for example, castor, petroleum jelly, based on sea buckthorn, which have analgesic, wound healing, antiseptic properties. The therapeutic effect on the skin is determined by the substances dissolved in them.

The use in medicine as a solvent for injections and as independent drugs is due to useful qualities. For example, mineral vaseline oil is used as a remedy for healing wounds and cracks, softening hardened areas, it is used to clean cold nose crusts and infant crown crowns.

For babies

Among the many manufactured by the industry, it is difficult to choose one oil for newborns that meets all the requirements of baby care. Each has some useful property, often unique to this variety.

So let's look at the following types.

• Sweet acacia is a good antiseptic, nourishes and soothes the baby's skin.
• Apricot kernel oil promotes tissue regeneration, helps with dermatitis.
• Vanilla - has balsamic properties.
• Clove oil deodorant, antihistamine, antioxidant, bactericidal.
• St. John's wort - anti-inflammatory for skin diseases, relieves itching from insect bites.
• Ginger - softens the mucous membrane during colds, relieves inflammation.
• Cocoa - softens lips, relieves muscle pain.
• Sea buckthorn ─ wound healing, especially for burns.
• Olive ─ light antiseptic, moisturizes, softens the skin.
• Peach - relieves irritation and redness of the skin.
• Sunflower ─ moisturizes and regenerates the skin.
• Rosemary is an analgesic antidepressant.
• Tui - relieves itching, allergies, wound healing antiseptic.
• Tea tree ─ against insect bites, anti-inflammatory, strong antiseptic.

Application

The use of oils for the hygiene of the child is necessary and justified. During the morning toilet and after water procedures, the mother carefully examines the baby, wipes problem areas with clean, sterilized oil. Vegetable or petroleum jelly, applied to a cotton turunda, gently cleans the nose and ears.

If the neonatologist or pediatrician has not recommended another remedy to prevent diaper rash, immediately after bathing, the problem areas are smeared with an oily cotton pad. Temechko, behind the ears, skin folds, neck, armpits, elbow and popliteal folds, groin and ass are also lubricated.

Such procedures are especially useful for premature babies. Lubrication cleans folds and folds, prevents redness, peeling, diaper rash, promotes the speedy healing of infant crusts on the baby's crown.

During the massage, both the baby and the mother are more pleasant if the skin is lubricated. Do not pour oil on the skin of the crumbs. It is used like this: mom puts a small amount ─ a few drops ─ on her palm, rubs it and warms it. With palms rubbed into the delicate skin of the baby.

Baby hygiene includes rubbing oil on the folds and folds of the body, this is especially true in the presence of diaper rash, redness, peeling

Testing and sterilization

Before using any products for a baby, check them for allergies. Apply a drop of the product to the child's skin and observe the smear. This test will show the reaction within a day. If redness or a rash appears in this place, this remedy should not be used categorically. Do not ignore such testing, take it as a rule. Allergy is a very unpleasant disease, do not provoke it.

Remember that all oils are sterilized and cooled before use. You can’t buy it at the grocery store (even if it’s a simple sunflower) and immediately smear it on your baby. After sterilization, this is the best tool for hygiene procedures and solving skin problems.

The ideal sterilization method is in a water bath. It makes no sense to sterilize a large portion, since the beneficial substances are destroyed during storage. Sterilizing it at home is not difficult and does not take long, so prepare a small portion for the near future.

To prepare a remedy for babies, put a small container of oil in a bowl of cold water. It can be a small glass jar or a medicine bottle. Make the water level in a large container not reaching 1/3 to the top of the jar or bottle. Lay a cloth in 3-4 layers under the dish with oil to protect the oil from overheating and burning. After the water in a large container boils, continue sterilizing over low heat.

Young mothers ask how much to boil the oil for sterilization. Do not boil at all, keep it on low heat without boiling. For a small amount, 20 minutes of warming up is enough. When air bubbles appear on the surface, sterilization is stopped.

Leave the dish with the oil in a large container until it cools completely. When it cools down, close it with a tight lid, put it in a cool dark place. So sterilized oil is stored for a long time. It is not recommended to pour the cooked oil into another dish. Use as needed.

Bübchen oil is the most popular. German manufacturers have taken care of the delicate skin of babies by creating an environmentally friendly oil without preservatives and any other harmful substances.

There are many oils - and it is difficult to make a choice. There are cleansing, nourishing, massage, relieving irritation and so on. For home care of a newborn, cold-pressed vegetable unrefined oils are suitable. Such a product is obtained from raw seeds, without heating, after pressing it is only defended and filtered. Therefore, it contains more useful substances than refined ones. The usual vegetable - olive or sunflower, bought in a trusted store - is healthy and safe.

When choosing any means for a newborn, consult your doctor, look carefully at the body of the crumbs, think about what this remedy is for you. Read the instructions for what ingredients are included, for which it is recommended to use. If the composition contains not only oil, but also other components, it should be discarded.

Remember: the wider the list in the composition, the more allergens it may contain.

Some growers mix two or more varieties. That is, one acts as a basis, and the second is an active substance. So more often they mix vegetable and essential oils, where the essential acts as an active substance.

You need to look at the terms of production and storage. If essential sealed oils are stored indefinitely, then others are not more than a year. Choose clean, cloudy, with a pleasant natural smell, and your baby's skin will always be healthy, smooth, radiant.
