The baby's skin is five times thinner than that of an adult. Therefore it needs mild and gentle care. This is very important especially after swimming.
Here are a few tips for correct baby care after swimming:
Shower your child thoroughly after swimming so that the chlorine is rinsed off the skin. The head should be washed separately with a washcloth and possibly a mild wash lotion.
Then dry your child well with a soft bath towel. After bathing many children - especially babies - are very tired and fall asleep quickly. Make sure that you give your child enough to drink, as swimming will make them thirsty.
Warm drinks are ideal to re-regulate the body temperature. Apply a mild care lotion or gentle baby oil to your child's skin.
Ensure that your child is warmly dressed after swimming. Don't forget a hat, as the most body heat is lost through the head.
