For kids you should use mineral-based sunscreens such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
Babies can wear sunscreen once they are at least 6 months of age or older.
Babies under 6 months of age should be kept out of direct sunlight as much as possible.
You cannot and should not put hand sanitizer on your baby's hands as it can dry out their skin and also lead to alcohol poisoning as the hand sanitizer gets absorbed into the baby's skin.
Hand sanitizer is not recommended for kids under 3 years of age.
You can start bathing your newborn 24 hours after the birth of the newborn.
Since newborns don't get all that dirty you can bathe the newborn 2 to 3 times per week which is good enough.
If the room is a little cool then yes you should put a hat on your baby after a bath.
However if the room is warm enough then there's no need to put a hat on a baby after bathing them.
To keep the baby warm during the bath you can pour warm water over his or her body throughout the bath.
Some research suggests that using slightly more water — enough to cover a baby's shoulders — can be calming and help reduce heat loss.
With any amount of water, be sure to hold your baby securely during the bath.
You don't need a baby bath to give the baby a bath.
However having a baby bath makes it easier and safer for you to give your baby a bath.
You can also give your baby a bath in the kitchen sink or sit down in the bathtub yourself and hold the baby while you bathe them.
But a baby bath is a good thing to have.
Most babies will cry a little bit or even cry the whole time when the water is too hot or too cold.
Bath water that is too hot for the baby can easily scald or burn a baby's sensitive skin.
The infant's skin should not be red during or following the bath.
After the umbilical cord falls off the baby and the baby button heals you can give the newborn a bath then.
The stump of the umbilical cord should naturally fall off within about 2 weeks after the baby is born.
Then ideally you should wait a week after then to bathe the baby.
Until then a sponge bath for your newborn is perfectly fine and all the baby really needs.
Only give your newborn sponge baths until the stump of the umbilical cord falls off, which usually happens by about one or two weeks of age.
If it remains beyond that time, there may be other issues at play.
Once the umbilical cord has fallen off and the belly button has healed, you can give your baby her first real bath.
Aim for an every-other-day bath; a daily bath is more apt to dry your baby's delicate skin.
After the umbilical cord falls off.
Wipe away any remaining secretions with a dampened washcloth and pat dry.
Stick to sponge baths for a couple of days longer and then let your baby indulge in a tub.
The skin underneath the stump may be a little red when the dried stump first falls off, but it should soon heal—usually within two weeks.
Keep the navel (belly button) clean and dry.
If there are any secretions, clean them away. Use a wet cotton swab. Then, dry carefully.
Do this gently to prevent any bleeding.
Caution: Don't use any rubbing alcohol. Reason: can interfere with healing.
You can bathe your baby at any time of the day.
It's a good idea to pick a time when you're relaxed and you won't be interrupted.
And it's best to avoid bathing your baby when baby is hungry or straight after a feed.
There's no need to give your newborn a bath every day.
Three times a week might be enough until your baby becomes more mobile.
Bathing your baby too much can dry out his or her skin.
