Changing diapers, changing clothes, un******ng a newborn before bathing - the first air baths, the first tempering procedures. For an infant, the air temperature both in the room and outside during an air bath should be at least 22 '. After appropriate training, the temperature in the air bath can be 20 and 18 '. Air baths must be carried out carefully: their duration at first should not exceed 2-3 minutes. Gradually, the time is increased and for children up to 6 months of age it is adjusted to 15 minutes, and for children of 6-12 months - up to 20-25 minutes. The procedure can be repeated 2 times a day. Weakened children or those who are not accustomed to cool air should expose their bodies gradually: first, arms and legs, then to the waist, and, finally, leave the baby completely undressed. In summer, air baths are best done outdoors under a canopy or in the shade of trees, where diffused sunlight is rich in ultraviolet rays. Water quenching is very useful. They do this with the help of hygienic baths, washing, washing the feet, as well as rubbing and dousing. Water quenching is started gradually and carefully. From 3-4 months of age, wet wipes can be applied. Before proceeding with them, it is necessary to consult a doctor, then pre-prepare the child's skin for this procedure. To do this, dry flannel or a piece of soft woolen cloth daily in the morning rub the body, arms and legs of the child to a pink color. After one and a half to two weeks, you can proceed to wiping with water. With a mitten made of woolly cloth soaked in water and wrung out, they first wipe the arms, then the chest and stomach, back, buttocks, and legs of the child. Immediately wipe the wetted part of the body with a fluffy towel until the skin turns slightly red. The whole body, except for the wiped part, should be under the covers. Wiping can be done by adding 1 teaspoon of salt or a tablespoon of sea salt to 1 glass of water. Wiping is usually done after the child's morning sleep. Their duration is 5-6 minutes.
