A hip bath helps with sore buttocks
- A hip bath for the baby should be 37 degrees Celsius and only five centimeters high.
- The Sitz bath should not last longer than 10 minutes so that the baby does not cool down or start to whine.
- A hip bath is therefore preferable to a normal bath, as possible fungal infections cannot spread to the rest of the skin.
- Oak bark additives, Dead Sea salt or horsetail as a bath additive for hip baths have proven to be very effective in the treatment of sore buttocks in babies.
- Intensive healing ointments for adults should be avoided. They may contain substances that are not compatible with baby's delicate skin.
- The buttocks baby cream with Nyastin and zinc used as standard in this case should only be used if a hip bath does not bring any improvement.
Chamomile has a healing effect, you can use it internally and externally ...
Normal water without additives will do the same
- A hip bath with warm water, completely without any bath additives, can initially provide great relief.
- Under no circumstances should foam baths be used for the baby seat bath with sore buttocks, because they dry out the last remaining protective layer of the delicate skin.
- Chamomile drops from the pharmacy are a great way to activate additional natural healing powers.
- Alternatively, you can buy natural, unpolluted chamomile tea from the health food store, four cups from it tea and add to the pure bath water of the hip bath.
- Many babies don't want to sit, they want to splash around. So that the Sitz bath does not become a torture for you or your little one, let your baby stay in the Sitz bath for only a few minutes.
