BATHING AND CLEANLINESS DURING INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD
Cleanliness is important for the health of the child. The main points of which you should pay particular attention to the parent company for this purpose are as follows:
Initially, the child should be washed daily with warm water and a bath every night for a deep cleansing of the body, it is very necessary. Sensitive to bathe the baby for a few days or even weeks in cold water, in order to "strengthen" the Constitution (as it is called), is the most effective way to reduce its health and the disease causes in the future. Gradually, however, the water in which a sponge in the morning to be warm, the bathroom evening will be warm enough to be grateful feelings.
A few months after passing the water temperature can be reduced gradually until cold is employed, with which it can be a sponge or immersed in it every morning during the summer. If plunged into cold water, however, must be in a minute, but because at the time, especially the sensation of cold continued for a considerable time depresses the vital energies, and prevents healthy glow on the surface usually follows the momentary and brief action of cold and it depends on their usefulness. With some children, in fact, it is an extremely fine and adequate reaction to the cold bath dangerous, warm glow on the surface takes place when its use inevitably harm: its effects, therefore, should be carefully monitored .
Surface of the skin should always be carefully and thoroughly rubbed dry with flannel, certainly more than the dry, the skin is heated by friction and stimulated fresh diligently exercised. This process of washing and drying must not be done languidly, but briskly and efficiently, and then turned out to be an effective way to enhance a child. In particular it is necessary to dry the armpits, groin and buttocks, and if the child is very fat, is much dust in these parts of the hair powder or starch: this prevents excoriations and sores, which are often very difficult. Soap is only required for the body parts that are exposed to the reception of dirt.
When that time comes, or soon after, bathe, but too often lax, hands and face of the child are kept clean, and with that the nurse is satisfied, the daily washing of the body, yet it is still necessary not only for the preservation of cleanliness, but because it greatly facilitates the child's health.
A child of a vigorous constitution and robust health, rising from his bed of fresh and active night off, must be placed in the bath and shower, or, if this excites and alarms him too, should be removed from head to foot with salt water. If the weather is very cold water can be a little hot, but its constitution is taken, the water should be cold throughout the year. Then the body should be dried quickly and rapidly, but rubbed with a towel a little rough, and wear, without unnecessary delay. This should be done every morning in the child's life.
If such a child is on the side facing the sea, should take advantage of this fact, and must be replaced Seabathing. The best time to have two or three hours after breakfast, but should not be fatigued beforehand, because in that case, the cold bath can not be used without risk. Must ensure that they remain too long, the animal must be reduced to less heat low enough, what would be the most damaging. The boys have a weak constitution, great mischief is often produced in this way. It 'also a major consequence of children from the bathroom that should not be terrified by immersion, and every precaution to avoid this. A healthy and robust boy, too soon should be taught to swim, if this is impractical, since it has participated in most of the positive effects, is the most invigorating exercise and a cold bath thus becomes doubly useful.
If a child is a delicate constitution and strumous, cold bath in summer is one of the best tonics that can be used, and if living on the coast, sea bathing are the singular advantage. The effects should be bathing in the sea in such a constitution will be particularly watched, for unless it is replaced by a glow, a feeling of increased strength and a big appetite, it will do no good and should be immediately abandoned for hot or warm water bath. The idea that warm baths generally relax and weaken, is erroneous, because in this case, as in all cases, if properly applied, they would give tone and energy for the entire system, and in fact , a warm shower for this child what the cold bath is more robust.
In conclusion: if the bath, in any form can not be achieved due to circumstances, then wipe the cold salt water, must be used daily throughout the year, as long as the appropriate response or glare resulting from its use, but since this is not the case, and it will normally happen if the child is delicate and cold, vinegar and warm water or warm salt water, must be replaced.
