Welcoming a newborn is both a joy and a new challenge for every parent. Newborns have delicate skin and low immunity, so maintaining cleanliness is crucial to prevent infection and keep the baby comfortable. However, when performing daily cleansing for their baby, parents should pay special attention to product selection and cleaning methods to ensure that the baby is not exposed to excessive irritation or harmful substances.
Daily body cleansing: It is important not to over-wash
The skin of a newborn is relatively thin, only about 1/5 of the thickness of an adult's skin , and the skin barrier function has not yet fully developed. The baby's skin is particularly sensitive and prone to dryness, redness, and even rashes.
Generally speaking, a bath with plain water is sufficient for babies under four months old. Two to three times a week is not necessary, as excessive bathing can damage the baby's skin's natural protective layer. Each bath should be kept within five minutes, and the water temperature should be around 37°C to avoid scalding the baby.
After four months, babies will start eating complementary foods and will gradually be taken out for walks and play. When choosing cleaning products, parents should pay attention to mildness and safety, and avoid using products containing alcohol, fragrances or too many chemical ingredients.
For example, peacefy 's skin-friendly, fragrance-free bubble mousse eliminates unnecessary irritation and allergens. One bottle contains only 9 ingredients and has a pH value close to that of human skin. It gently cleanses without disrupting the oil-water balance of the baby's sebum film. It washes from head to toe, protecting the skin barrier, stabilizing the skin foundation, and maintaining skin health.
Cleaning of newborn supplies
In addition to keeping the baby clean, items that come into close contact with the baby also need to be kept clean to ensure that the baby's living environment is sterile and comfortable.

Bottle and nipple cleaning
Bottles and nipples need to be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized daily. You can use a special bottle brush and a mild detergent, such as Peacefy 's skin-friendly dishwashing bubble mousse , which only uses 6 high-quality ingredients, no thickeners, foaming agents, or essential oil fragrances, and is 97% biodegradable to completely remove residues inside the bottle. Afterwards, place the bottle in a sterilizer for sterilization, or boil it for 5-10 minutes to ensure it is sterile.

Clothing cleaning
Newborns' clothes should be washed separately with a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic detergent, such as Peacefy 's Mugwort Laundry Detergent . This detergent eliminates the foaming and thickening agents commonly found in detergents. The low-foaming, water-based liquid rinses easily without residue, preventing residual chemicals from irritating the baby's skin. Protein enzymes effectively break down stains and odors caused by proteins and lipids, such as drooling, spitting up, and diaper leakage, reducing the risk of skin irritation.

Cleaning of the home environment
Maintaining a clean home environment is crucial for the health of newborns, especially those entering the oral stage. Parents should regularly clean their baby's room and supplies to prevent the accumulation of allergens such as dust and dust mites. Peacefy Nano-Ion Cleaning Water , made with RO purified water, contains no harmful chemical detergents and is gentle on the skin and respiratory tract. While boasting a high sterilization rate and powerful decontamination capabilities, it also ensures that no harmful residues remain after cleaning, which could be ingested by oral babies.
Newborn hygiene is not only important for the baby's health, but also a sign of parental care. Keeping your baby's skin clean and their home hygienic not only reduces the risk of infection but also keeps them comfortable and happy, creating a safe and clean environment for their growth.
