A Clean baby is a happy baby:
This is the first and very important step for Baby care in Monsoon.
As Newborn does not come in direct contact with dirt and pollution So, giving a bath to a newborn 2 times a week is fine. But, in Humid climate, it is advisable to give a bath to a baby once every day. This is the best way to keep all disease at bay. I would suggest avoiding much oil massaging during the monsoon as oil at times stick to the skin and block the pores.
Clean and cool Clothing:
The temperature during monsoon shows so much up and down. Sometimes it is heated as hell and sometimes its is cool as heaven. I would suggest to keep your baby in comfortable cotton clothes and keep a baby wraps handy so that if it becomes cool wrap your baby immediately. Change your baby clothes 2 to 3 times a day.
Keep your surroundings clean: Do not let water to stand near your house or inside. The water logging gives a breeding base to the mosquito. Use floor disinfectant to clean the house. Keep changing the bed sheets, Pram sheets or cradle sheets often.
