Watching the weather get hotter and hotter, everyone will begin to fall into deep [entanglements] again.
At this time, there will be these [should] and [should not] voices…
You see how uncomfortable it is for children to be covered in diapers. Wear open-backed pants.
Cold starts from the foot, summer should also give baby socks;
You have to shave your head in summer, or you will have prickly heat.
The weather is hot, so there is no way to eat milk alone. Feed her some water.
*
Whether these are well-intentioned reminders or unintentional [pits] buried for Eva, it is estimated that many novice mothers have question marks flashing in their heads.
Today, let Dr. Clove take everyone together to take stock of some things that should be done for the baby this summer.
Open-backed pants are not recommended.
[You all came here like this when you were young]-Old people who advocate wearing open-backed pants all say so.
You and I had no choice but to wear open-backed pants when we were young. Should our concept of children keep pace with the times now?
Open-backed pants are really not recommended. It is unhygienic, indecent and detrimental to children’s privacy.
What? Children don’t understand what’s privacy? We should know that self-esteem and self-love should be the cultivation of adults from an early age. The World Health Organization has long advocated that sex education should start from the age of zero. It is part of children’s mental health development to teach children to protect their bodies, respect others and take good care of themselves.
In addition, wearing open-backed pants makes children lose their natural protection. Important reproductive organs are exposed outside. When children crawl, learn to walk and even play, they will be in excessive contact with external bacteria. Urethral orifice and anus are likely to be infected with bacteria and viruses, and will also collide or rub to genitals, which will also cause damage.
In addition, mosquitoes are rampant in summer, and open-backed pants are likely to cause mosquito bites on the baby’s genitals, causing insect-bitten dermatitis.
Don’t give Eva shit and pee
With open-backed pants [set meal], it is often [excrement and urine].
Although there are not many empirical studies to prove that defecation and urination do bring physical harm to children, children simply cannot control defecation or urination, which is certainly understood by the mothers of big babies who are undergoing toilet training.
Even if a child can urinate at once, it is only a conditioned reflex, and his physiological development has not reached the stage where he can control the toilet autonomously.
Dr. Clove has always stressed that children should not be trained beyond the stage and should not be encouraged by pulling out seedlings. When the body is not ready, urinating pants is inevitable. In addition, some parents have a great reaction to children urinating pants, and children will have great psychological pressure.
What? Diapers make red buttocks? There is only one reason: I didn’t help my baby change diapers in time.
Don’t shave her head
In summer, you can always see many bald babies. Elders still touch the head of [young monk] and say that this is the only way to cool in summer and prevent prickly heat.
In fact, there is no need at all.
Hair is a child’s natural umbrella, shaving head in summer does not have the effect of cooling down. Without the protection of hair, the baby will lose the natural barrier of sunshade, accidental injuries and mosquito bites will gather on the scalp, making the chance of infection greatly increased.
In addition, because it is bald, the heat absorbed by the skin will increase instead, and the sweat on the head will also be quickly lost, which cannot play the role of heat dissipation through sweat evaporation. What’s more, bald baby’s head is easily sunburned into solar dermatitis by strong light.
Some parents shave their baby girls’ heads for the sake of coolness? Be careful that when the baby grows up, he will complain about you when he sees the photos… … …
Don’t give the baby extra water
Babies will not get angry if they drink more water. Summer is so hot, of course they should drink more water!
But in fact this is unnecessary.
In principle, the staple food of the baby 4 months ago is mother milk or formula milk, which does not need additional water. 88% of breast milk is water, which is enough for the baby. Formula milk also does not need additional water, and can be adjusted strictly in proportion to supplement the water needed by the baby’s body.
If it is very hot outside or the baby has a fever, the baby who drinks formula milk needs to replenish some water.
The kidneys of babies under one year old have not yet reached the maturity of adults, It is not appropriate to supplement additional water. Drinking too much water will not only reduce milk consumption and slow weight gain, but also cause water in the body to be drained too late. When the water content in the blood in the body is too high and the concentration of sodium ions in the blood is too low, electrolyte imbalance may be caused, and cramps and other conditions may be seriously caused.
The weather is hot, worried about the baby’s lack of water? Yes, just nurse more.
You don’t need to supplement calcium for your baby when you sweat at night.
In summer, when you sweat at night, is the child weak in body and kidney, and is the child calcium deficient?
To be able to ask such a question reflects a national condition: there is a disease called calcium deficiency.
Children sweat a lot at night, mostly because the temperature in the room or the corner where the child sleeps is too hot. Children’s metabolism is stronger than that of adults, so they should wear less than adults.
In view of this, we must not replace the child’s feeling with our own feeling. Sweating at night is because the child is hot, which is as simple as that. If calcium is really supplemented, it is the disease.
The baby has to blow the air conditioner.
As a new generation of things, air conditioning is doomed to face all kinds of disputes like diapers. However, it is necessary to properly turn on the air conditioner for the baby.
The advice in what to expect the first year is that the air conditioner can be turned on, as long as the baby is not blown directly against it, and the indoor temperature should not be lower than 22 degrees.
Generally speaking, the indoor temperature is about 22-26 ℃. When the indoor and outdoor temperature difference is kept at 5-7 degrees, the baby is not easy to get sick when experiencing temperature difference changes.
When the air conditioner is turned on, the baby also does not need to wear too many clothes. The invention of sleeping bags is also an outstanding representative of the new generation of things. A sleeping bag and an air conditioner can definitely improve the sleep quality by several grades by allowing the child to sleep in a comfortable environment.
Don’t wear socks for Eva in summer.
What? Wear socks in summer? Cold starts from the soles of your feet?
Oh my god! In such a hot summer, the baby doesn’t need to worry about running around barefoot and cool. He needs to worry about wearing socks and sweating a lot.
Anyone who has raised a child knows that her little feet are born with sweat one by one. Mothers have to choose breathable and cool shoes to buy. How can they have the heart to make their children’s little feet sticky and wet?
The weather is sultry, covering the baby’s feet with shoes and socks is not only easy to sweat and wet, making the baby feel uncomfortable, but also bacteria will breed more easily, increasing the risk of infection.
Baby’s feet are full of nerve endings of perception and touch. You can feel the changes of cold and heat through barefoot. The various rich nerve stimuli felt on the soles of your feet are also helpful for brain development. At the same time, the exercised feet are also conducive to promoting the development of the arch of your feet. Wearing socks undoubtedly cuts off the way for children to experience temperature.
The cold hands and feet of the baby do not mean that the baby is catching cold. It is necessary to check the sweating condition of the baby’s armpits, head and neck. Cold feet may also be caused by too much hot sweating.
