As the weather gradually gets colder, it is said that the heating season has begun again in the north.
Northern mothers and babies, relying on the heating, basically wear short sleeves in the house. It takes minutes to change diapers or clothes. Socks and underwear can be done in one night. When it is cold, they roll on the floor.
Even if the southern mother and baby hide in the thick bed, they will inevitably shiver. Out of bed is thermal underwear + sweater + down jacket + thermal underwear + plush pants + outer pants + thick socks + snow boots + hat…
Today, we invited pediatrician Zhuang Ruidan to talk with you about how to make Eva [warm for the winter].
Wear too much, be careful, baby
As soon as the weather is cold, wrap the children into zongzi or cover them up a lot at night. Be careful to pit the children.
STEP 1 Be Careful of Washing Heat Syndrome
The baby’s metabolism is fast and active, wearing too much is easy to sweat, not only uncomfortable but also may aggravate eczema, prickly heat, causing skin pruritus and discomfort.
Serious cases will also lead to [Wu Re Syndrome], causing dehydration of children, and even life-threatening conditions such as delirium, convulsions and lack of oxygen.
2. Affect children’s growth and development
Wearing too much will also restrict the baby’s activities and affect the development of major sports such as turning over, sitting alone, crawling and walking.
How do you judge whether your child is wearing too much?
The simplest way is to touch the back of the neck.
The neck and back are warm and do not sweat, which is the most suitable. If the tide indicates that it is too hot, the cool indicates that it is cold. Parents can increase or decrease clothes in time according to their children’s activities.
If you want your baby to be warm and comfortable for the winter, you can try the following practical methods.
Master [Onion Dressing Method]
[Onion] Dressing is like onions, wrapped in layers.
Generally, it is divided into 3 layers from inside to outside to wear and build:
The inner layer is close-fitting, soft, breathable and sweat-absorbing pure cotton underwear.
The middle layer is mainly warm and can be made of wool, velvet, cotton and other textures, such as woolen sweaters, vests, sweaters, leggings and so on. The thickness is selected according to the temperature.
The outer layer is mainly windproof and waterproof, such as cotton-padded clothes, down jackets, trench coats, etc. The thickness is selected according to the temperature.
There are also small short skirts, small waistcoats and the like, which are warm and beautiful when they are worn in half when they are worn too much and not too little.
In winter, it usually needs 3 floors or 3.5 floors outdoors. If there is heating equipment indoors, most of them need 2 floors or 2.5 floors.
It is better to cover the quilt with a separate sleeping bag.
The baby does not sleep well, often turning over, rolling, kicking quilt, etc.
Try to maintain a relatively comfortable ambient temperature when sleeping at night, and choose pajamas of appropriate thickness for your baby. Even if you kick the quilt carelessly, it is not easy to catch cold.
Try to cover the baby with a single quilt. Cover the baby with a lighter blanket or silk quilt, which is usually enough to cover the chest.
Do not cover adults’ thick quilts, nor do you cover one with adults.
You can also choose a suitable sleeping bag to replace the quilt for your baby. If you get into the habit of wearing pajamas from an early age, you will not be afraid to kick the quilt.
Electric hot water bags and electric blankets should be kept in mind.
1. Never choose an electrode hot water bag
Electrode type hot water bags are prone to short circuit or explosion due to direct contact between electrodes and liquid.
When buying a hot water bag, you can pinch it lightly with your hand. If you pinch two hard cylinders, it is an electrode hot water bag.
2. Don’t use electric blankets for children for a long time.
Long-term high temperature will cause the baby to sweat a lot, which may cause the baby to lose a lot of water during sleep. The baby is easy to dehydrate and cause diseases.
If you want to use it, it is recommended to warm the quilt with an electric blanket before falling asleep. Just keep the quilt warm and turn it off before the child goes to bed.
When using heating appliances for your baby, you must be careful, mainly looking at [safety] and [comfort]:
Don’t choose three-no products, try to buy big brands.
It is better not to choose products for local heating or close-fitting use, which will lead to risks such as being too hot and scalded. While heating, it is also necessary to ensure a certain humidity, and babies who are too dry will also feel uncomfortable.
