After showering the baby, it is inevitable to use a hair dryer. The hot air from the hair dryer can help dry the baby's body moisture as soon as possible, reducing the risk of catching a cold. But for this situation, some parents may also worry that the wind from the hair dryer will not blow well directly towards the baby. So, can a hair dryer blow on a baby?
For infants under one year old, it is best not to blow with a hair dryer. Many parts of a baby under one year old have not fully developed, and some external things can easily cause harm. For example, if a hair dryer is used to blow hot air on the baby, it can cause huge damage to the baby's scalp and hair roots. Moreover, the sound of the hair dryer is unbearable for the baby and can easily damage their hearing.
When the baby is over one year old, it is advisable to use a fan appropriately, but it should also be noted that it should be at least 15 centimeters away from the baby's head. It is best to use a lower wind speed and suitable temperature, because when the wind speed is high, the hair dryer will make a loud sound, which can startle the baby. Moreover, higher temperatures can easily burn the delicate skin of infants, while too low temperatures can cause them to catch a cold.
In daily life, after washing the baby's head, the mother can use a dry towel with good water absorption to wipe the baby's head. Usually, the baby's hair is sparse and easy to dry. At the same time, parents should also take good care of their baby's hair, cut it shorter, dry it faster, and the nutrients will not be absorbed by the hair.
