HEAT UP IN KUWAIT - CARE YOUR BABY
Newborns do not sweat well. They have sweat glands, but in hot weather the glands plug up. This results in tiny red, raised dots in areas of the body that are the warmest, such as the neck, the groin, under the arms, in the fold of the elbows or behind the knees. Occasionally these can look like itty bitty blisters. Sometimes the rash itches, which can make your baby irritable. Prevention is the best treatment. Do not overdress your newborn. The level of clothing in which you are comfortable is exactly what the baby should wear. Overdressing your newborn, making him/her too warm, can cause or worsen a heat rash. Keep as cool as possible. In the hottest or most humid days stay in air conditioning if you can. Avoid oily or greasy creams in rash areas. Give daily baths with lukewarm water followed by scrupulous drying. A light dusting of powder applied with your hand, not by shaking the container, might help dry out the area. |

WATER FOR THE BABY
With plain water - it's easy to fill up an infant's stomach; a few little ounces will do the job. Babies should be filling up on nourishment—getting the nutrients they need from each feeding. Once your baby has been teething, he or she will need fluoride to support the new teeth, so giving drinking water is a good way to meet that need. But until then, let your baby get water in his or her usual feedings of mother's milk or formula. |
