2、 Three reasons why baby can't use electric blanket

Electric blanket is easy to dehydrate children

Because infant's body fluid quantity is relatively more than adult's, the younger age is, the more body fluid quantity is relatively more. The total body fluid of newborn accounts for 80% of the body weight, 75% in one month, 70% in infants and 60% in adults. Children need more water because of their vigorous metabolism. Children supplement the water needed by their bodies through food and water every day, and excrete some water from their bodies through defecation, sweating and breathing every day. The kidney plays a major role in regulating the balance of body fluids. But because the temperature can not be well controlled by the electric blanket, the evaporation of high temperature causes a lot of sweating or breathing of infants

Electric blanket is easy to make children sweat a lot and catch cold

At the same time, due to the loss of a large number of body fluids, the children's respiratory mucosa is dry, and the barrier function against pathogens is weakened, which is easy to cause diseases. And because the environment temperature is too high, children sweat a lot, but also easy to catch cold and cause disease.

Easy to cause accidents due to leakage of baby urine

Due to the difference of quality, children's leakage after urination is also easy to cause short circuit and unexpected situation.

When using the electric blanket for the baby, remember to turn on the electric blanket and cover the quilt before the baby goes to bed. Turn off the electric blanket five minutes before the baby goes to bed. In this way, the quilt is warm, put the baby in, it's OK.

When your baby sleeps in the electric blanket, remember not to turn the electric blanket to the high temperature to help it warm the quilt. It's better to use the low or medium temperature. This will not lead to overheating of the bedding and sweating of the baby.

It's forbidden for babies to use electric blankets all night. If you are worried about the baby's cold in the middle of the night, it is recommended that you use the electric blanket, and then put the baby beside you, rather than directly put the baby on the electric blanket.

If you use an electric blanket for your baby all night, it may cause leakage due to the baby wetting the bed. In this case, it is very dangerous. No one can guarantee that the baby will not wet the bed or leak electricity when sleeping.

When the baby uses the electric blanket, remember that at first, it can cover the baby with a thinner and more breathable quilt. When waiting for the night, you can change into a thick quilt, so that when your baby is sleeping, you can shed sweat.

After the baby warms up the bed with the electric blanket, remember to turn off the electric blanket and unplug it directly from the power supply, which is better. So as to avoid electric leakage or other accidents caused by other reasons.
