                     Ziqitza Healthcare - 5 winter care tips to follow for 
your new-born
The first winter with your infant can seem 
overwhelming as you worry about keeping her 
warm and guarding against seasonal colds. To 
make this simpler for you, 
Ziqitza Healthcare Ltd, one of India’s leading 
healthcare service providers, has some great 
advice.
 
Find solutions to some of the problems that 
new parents encounter most frequently as 
winter approaches.
Should I stop giving my baby massages?
According to Ziqitza Healthcare, giving your baby a massage in the 
winter can be just as pleasurable and healthy for them as it is in the 
summer if you keep the room warm. The massage promotes and 
improves blood circulation in a baby and also makes them feel 
warmer. Ziqitza advises to prepare everything for the massage, 
before you undress the baby.
Which oil should be used in winters for massage?
In India, especially during the winter, mustard oil has been used for 
generations for baby massage. It's a thick oil with what's thought 
to be heating qualities. Heat the oil with the garlic, carom seeds 
(ajwain), or fenugreek seeds (methi dana) first, suggests 
Ziqitza Rajasthan. These heating components, according to 
traditional Indian home remedies, add benefits to the oil and 
strengthen the baby's immune system. However, mustard oil might 
not be suitable for your baby if she has sensitive or dry skin, 
eczema, or any other type of rash.
 
While there are many advantages to using mustard oil, there is also 
some evidence that it may be harsh on the skin's barrier, making it 
more prone to irritation or drying. Therefore, switch to an oil that 
is kinder to the skin if your baby's skin is already sensitive or you 
notice that it looks red and irritated after her massage. 
What types of baby clothing are ideal for the winter?
Ziqitza Limited says that the trick is not to buy the warmest 
clothing you can find despite the wide variety of winter 
clothing that is available. Instead, dress your infant in several 
layers so that you can take one off or add another if you 
notice that she is becoming hot or cold. Your baby will 
typically require one more layer of clothing than you to stay 
warm.
 
The best way to determine whether your baby is too hot or 
too cold, according to ZHL Rajasthan, is to feel the back of 
her neck. You should take off a layer of clothing if the back of 
her neck feels damp, indicating that she is overheating and 
perspiring. Add a layer of clothing if it feels chilly to the 
touch.
How can I shield my infant from the seasonal cold and cough?
Although it's impossible to keep your baby from ever getting sick, 
Ziqitza Health care limited suggests that there are steps you can 
take to lessen the likelihood that she'll contract the common cold.
Your baby will receive your antibodies through breastfeeding 
exclusively, which will help her body fight off infections even if she is 
exposed to germs. This still holds true even if you contract the flu.
Wash your hands frequently, and ask anyone else holding her to do 
the same. Make sure to wash your baby's hands if she is already 
grabbing toys and moving around on her own.
As much as possible, keep your baby away from sick people.
Give your baby the seasonal flu vaccine if she is over six months old 
to protect her from the more dangerous strains of the virus.
Use humidifiers in the room
According to Ziqitza Limited Rajasthan, the cold, dry air during the 
winter draws the moisture from your skin, causing dryness, peeling, 
and dullness. Since the furnace's hot air is dry, a humidifier is needed. 
A humidifier's addition of water vapour balances the humidity, making 
the wet air feel warmer because dry air does not retain heat well.
