As soon as autumn begins, the weather starts to turn cooler in many cities, and the elderly in the family also become [two factions]: [Khan-covering faction] and [Spring-covering-autumn-freezing faction].
If you wear too much, you will be afraid of the baby’s heat. If you wear too little, you will be afraid of the baby’s freezing.
How to dress the baby, how much to wear, has become the biggest headache for dads and nannies.
Autumn itself is a season of high incidence of viruses. Many parents are afraid that their children will catch a cold and get sick, so they should quickly put on more clothes for their children.
Do you want to wear more or less? How to wear it? Is there any reason why our ancestors said [spring covers autumn freezing]? Let’s talk about these issues in detail today.
Is spring covering autumn freezing good? Limited effect
The old man always said [spring covers autumn and freezing], which sounds reasonable and has limited effect, and will not improve the body’s resistance.
Wear less clothes when the weather turns cooler. The thermoregulatory system will gradually make the body adapt to the falling temperature and make people feel better in colder winter, but the effect of [freezing and freezing] is only that.
Babies are obviously not suitable for this [autumn freeze] for three reasons:
First of all, the baby’s skin is delicate and rich in blood vessels, and is sensitive to cold stimulation. When exposed to cold, it is easy to cause skin blood vessels to contract and its defense against germs decreases.
Secondly, the baby’s immune system is not yet mature and its resistance to germs is weak. Cold will significantly reduce the immune activity in the baby’s body, which is not conducive to sterilization.
In addition, the development of the baby’s thermoregulatory center is not perfect, which is easily affected by the external temperature. Too low a temperature will easily lead to the baby’s hypothermia, thus inducing a series of problems.
However, [covering your sweat] we also don’t recommend it.
Blindly add clothes to the baby. The baby’s basal metabolic rate is high, and it is easy to sweat after activities. If you add clothes too early, the baby will sweat too much, which will easily lead to the baby catching cold.
Is it to dress the baby more or less? At this time, parents should first learn to judge the baby’s own cold and hot feelings.
How to judge whether the baby is cold or hot?
If the baby’s small face is red and sweaty, and becomes more easily agitated and angry, then it means that he wears too many clothes and the child feels hot. At this time, it is time to reduce the clothes for the baby.
On the contrary, if the baby’s face is pale, his hands and feet are cold, he huddles up and even starts to shiver, then it means that he wears less clothes and the child feels cold, so it is time to add clothes to the baby.
There is a simpler way to touch the baby’s back:
- If the back is warm, it means the clothes are just right. If the back is sweaty, it means you wear too much clothes. If the back is cold, it means you wear less clothes.
How to add clothes to your baby correctly?
1. Try to choose clothes made of cotton and linen.
Try to choose breathable and sweat-absorbing materials, and the first choice is cotton or cotton and linen fabrics. Such clothes not only keep warm, but also help breathe and sweat, which can better prevent the baby from catching a cold due to blowing after sweating.
2. Wear more thin clothes at the grass-roots level.
There are three reasons:
- The thin clothes were separated by air, It helps keep warm. When the temperature rises during the day, Can take off a piece of clothes at any time, but still enough to keep warm, and not take off thick clothes, the rest of the clothes is not enough to keep warm. Dolls are lively and active, their basal metabolic rate is also high, often a activity will be full head big sweat, wear a few layers of thin clothes, can reduce clothes at any time according to the amount of baby’s activities.
3. Pay attention to [two warms and one cool]
“Two warms and one cool” refers to “warm back, warm belly and cool head”.
Back Warm: As mentioned earlier, the simple way to judge whether the baby’s clothes are enough is to touch whether the back is warm or not. In addition, keeping the child’s back warm can effectively reduce the occurrence of colds.
Warm belly: As the baby’s abdominal muscles are underdeveloped, his intestines and stomach will be sensitive to temperature.
When stimulated by cold, the baby’s intestinal peristalsis will increase, even spasm will occur, abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other symptoms will occur, serious diarrhea will also occur; At the same time, if the baby’s abdomen feels cold, it will also affect the baby’s appetite. Therefore, keeping the abdomen warm is very important.
Cool head: The human head is the place where the whole body is least afraid of cold. Some studies have shown that although the weight of the human brain only accounts for about 2% of the human body’s weight, the energy consumed by the brain accounts for about 20% of the whole body’s energy consumption, making it a [major heat producer]; Moreover, the hair on the head is dense and is also a large heat dissipator. Therefore, keeping the baby’s head relatively low is beneficial to health.
The online dressing formula is actually unreliable.
In recent years, [dressing formula] has become very popular on the Internet. Dressing formula points out that clothes with different clothes can resist different temperatures:
The calculation method of dressing formula is: subtract the temperature of the day from 26 ℃, and you can [calculate] the most suitable match for the body feeling of the day. For example, when the temperature is 20 ℃, put on a thin coat.
It is more appropriate to add a velvet garment.
This [dressing formula] sounds like the same thing, but it can’t stand further investigation. According to relevant research, this formula is unscientific.
First of all, the temperature difference between them is different, the style of clothes is different, and the weather is different, so there will be great differences in the heat dissipation of the human body. It is definitely unscientific to measure the degree of heat preservation of clothes and compare it with the most comfortable temperature.
Secondly, the basal metabolic rate is different for different individuals, and the tolerance to cold is also different, which cannot be generalized.
In general, when autumn comes, don’t rush to add thick clothes to your baby, and don’t blindly believe in what’s dressing formula. Instead, make appropriate adjustments according to changes in temperature, so as to judge the baby’s cold and hot in time, add and subtract clothes at any time, and ensure the baby’s comfort and health.
