Diwali Safety Tips for Newborn Baby: Diwali is here, and if you have a newborn baby this time, it's crucial to protect them from the noise, smoke, light, and pollution of firecrackers. Today, we've brought you some safety tips for newborns that may be helpful.

Diwali Care Tips For Infants: Diwali is a festival of joy, light and enthusiasm, but for homes with newborns or small children, this is a time to be a little cautious. The sound of firecrackers, smoke and sudden flashes of light can affect their delicate ears, eyes and lungs. Therefore, it is important that you take some precautions for your baby in advance so that they feel safe and comfortable from the festive lights, sound of firecrackers and smoke. Let us know how small children can be protected from the noise and pollution of firecrackers this Diwali.

Protect your child from the noise of firecrackers.

Newborns' ears are extremely sensitive. The loud sound of firecrackers can frighten them or disrupt their sleep. Try to keep your baby in a room that's immune to outside noise. Keep the windows closed and play soft music or white noise to prevent the sounds of outside explosions from reaching them. You can also use baby earmuffs or soft cotton ear cuffs for your baby.

How to protect yourself from pollution and smoke?

Fireworks smoke is very harmful to a child's respiratory system. This can be especially irritating for children with coughs, colds, and allergies. In such a situation, keep your room ventilated and equipped with an air purifier or humidifier. If there is increased smoke or smog in the house, avoid taking your child outside. Using wet curtains on the windows can also help prevent dust and smoke from entering the house.

Take care of your baby's skin and eyes

Increased air pollution during Diwali can cause your baby's skin to become dry and his eyes to become red. Keep him hydrated regularly with baby moisturizer, and if he experiences eye irritation, consult a doctor and administer eye drops. Keep your baby away from smoky areas, as this can cause eye irritation and watering.

Keep the home environment soft and safe

During festivals, lighting and decorations create a pleasant atmosphere in the home, but it's important to prioritize safety. Keep decorative lights out of reach of children. When lighting candles or diyas in the room, make sure they're not near their clothes or toys. If you're performing puja, have your child sleep in another room to protect them from smoke.

Do not disturb the child's routine

The arrival of guests, lights, and noise during the festive season can disrupt your baby's sleep. Try to maintain a consistent feeding and sleeping schedule. Only take your baby out when the surroundings are quiet and clean.
