When the seasons change, many babies will get sick because of the change of weather. How to dress the baby has become a problem for many novice mothers. What is the baby's dressing guide? Let's follow the editor to learn more about it~
Baby Dressing Guide
Many old people like to judge whether their children's clothes are enough according to their own feelings. They think that their hands feel cool, so they add clothes to their children. As a result, they cover their children too much. Doctors remind that there are two ways to judge whether a child is wearing too much clothes: either touch the child's clavicle, if the clavicle is warm, it means that the clothes are just right; or touch the back, if the back is sweating, or even the clothes are wet, it means that the clothes are wearing too much.
Newborn: more than adult
At the same temperature, the baby's clothing is one layer thicker than the comfortable clothing for adults.
Infants under 1 year old: warm neck and back
As long as the neck and back are warm and the hands and feet are cold, it means that the cover is suitable. If the hands and feet are very warm, it means that there are too many covers.
Children aged 1-3: less than adults
Children exercise more than adults, body metabolism faster than adults, so add less clothing than adults, not more. Children who can't walk should wear less clothes if they are always moving.
Over 3 years old: if children don't feel cold, they don't need to wear more clothes
Children over 3 years old generally express their own warmth and coldness. If children say it's not cold, there's no need to wear more clothes. Don't worry, you can also touch the palm and back of the child. If it's warm and you don't sweat, it means that the clothes are more suitable.
Tips:
To dress your baby in spring, remember to be thin on the top and thick on the bottom. In indoor, sunny weather, to keep the head cool, in order to make the child refreshing, the baby's stomach, back and legs should be relatively thick. Once the baby has a cold, it is easy to cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. The baby's legs and feet are the most sensitive to the external cold. After the feet are cold, it will cause the vasoconstriction of the upper respiratory tract mucosa, reduce the disease resistance, and easily suffer from infectious diseases.
Common misunderstanding of baby's dressing 1: add clothes when hands are cold
Many parents love to touch the baby's hands and feet to judge whether the baby is hot or cold, which is actually inaccurate. Because the peripheral circulation of infants is poor, even if the body temperature is normal, the hands and feet are cooler than adults. If you add clothes at the moment, it's easy to cause high temperature and cover your baby. The correct judgment is that touching the baby's palm, if it is warm without sweat, it proves that dressing is appropriate.
Myth 2: if you sweat, you should lose your clothes
"Ah! The baby is sweating. I'm wearing too much clothes for him again. I'll take off my clothes as soon as possible. 'This move is actually wrong. Because sweating is a physiological reaction of the human body to adjust the temperature, when you take off your baby's clothes, the evaporation of sweat will take away a large part of the heat, at this time the baby is easy to get sick. The correct approach should be: wipe the sweat on the baby's head and back in time, let the baby calm down and wait for natural sweat elimination.
Myth 3: sneezing is cold
If the baby only has a stuffy nose, sneezing or runny nose in the morning or when the temperature changes, it is the reason for the poor adjustment of the nose to the temperature. Parents need not worry. This is a self-protection performance. If the baby sneezes or snivels frequently at all times, it should be the symptom of a cold and get sick, and should see a doctor in time.
Baby dress notes 1. To go outdoors to give baby add a coat
Although it's spring now, the temperature is not stable, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is still large. When Mommy takes her baby out, she should remember to bring her coat and trousers, so as to increase her clothes at any time.
Don't forget to put on your baby's hat when you go out
Wearing a hat can not only shade, but also avoid the baby's head cold when it's cold in the morning and evening. Especially the baby within 6 months, fontanel is not closed, the top of the head is very weak, more likely to catch cold and cause cold.
Don't take off your coat or hat for your baby immediately after you go home
In spring, the weather is often 'hot outside but cool inside'. You take off your baby's coat when you enter the door. It's easy to make your baby catch cold. After all, baby's ability to adapt to temperature is not as good as adults. You should let your baby adapt to the indoor temperature a little first, and then take off your coat and hat.
4. Choose clothes made of pure cotton, comfortable and breathable materials
The director of the child care department of the hospital said that no matter what season, the baby should be given the choice of wearing cotton, silk or hemp, sweat absorbing clothes without stimulating the skin. Too tight, too thick clothes will limit the baby's movement and development, is not conducive to perspiration, ventilation, encounter cold easily.
5. Children's feet can't be ignored. Pay attention to whether they sweat in time
In addition to clothes, another important point is that children's feet are easy to sweat. Parents should often pinch the baby's feet. If they find that they are sweating, they should replace the cotton stockings in time. This is often overlooked by many parents!
