How to add clothes to children when the weather is cold?
Others cover the child tightly, but it makes him feel hot, sleep badly, and even have a fever.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with keeping children warm, but once it is excessive, it will turn from a good thing to a bad thing, affecting children's health.
Fangfang has just been upgraded to a mother and lacks parenting experience.
It rained a few days ago and the temperature dropped a lot. Fangfang was afraid that the child would catch cold, so she added a dress and covered it with a thick quilt at night, so that she could sleep peacefully.
In the middle of the night, the child suddenly began to cry, no matter how to put him to sleep. In desperation, I had to call my mother-in-law for advice.
The mother-in-law asked the child about today's situation and wondered if it was too much trouble to wear, which made Fangfang lose a dress.
After doing this, the child felt much more comfortable and soon fell asleep.
Old people often say that if you want a safe child, you need to be hungry and cold. Some parents think that children are easy to catch a cold because of the low temperature, so they like to dress their children more.
In fact, children can't wear too much. There are rules for adding clothes to children, and they can't just add them. Some parts need to keep warm, and some parts don't need to be covered too much, otherwise it will be bad for children's health.
So, what's the harm of letting children wear too much?
First, it is easy to cause a cold.
Some people say that children are born heaters, which is an image metaphor, but it shows that children are lively by nature, have a lot of exercise, have a fast metabolism and are prone to sweating. Once you wear too much, it will lead to more sweat secretion, and you will catch a cold if you are not careful. If you have skin eczema, it will aggravate the reaction of eczema.
Second, it is easy to cause respiratory tract infection.
Studies show that children who wear too many clothes will feel thirsty because they sweat too much. Once the water is not replenished in time, it will lead to dryness of respiratory mucosa, which is prone to respiratory infection and repeated attacks.
Third, reduce the body's disease resistance.
Once children wear too much, they will not feel the change of outside temperature, which may reduce their adaptability, thus weakening their self-regulation and ultimately affecting their disease resistance.
For younger children, once they wear too many clothes for too long, they will suffer from hypoxia, high fever, dehydration and other phenomena, and in severe cases, they will have coma or respiratory failure, leading to? Heat syndrome? The occurrence of.
Therefore, once the weather changes, you can't suddenly put too many clothes on your children. Many times it is the parents' own feelings, and the children don't feel cold.
How to dress children in autumn? Autumn is a special season. Wearing less clothes for children will make them feel cold, and wearing too much is not good for their health. Grab it, okay? Three warm and two cool? Pay attention to the principles of several parts of the body, and the problem of dressing becomes relatively simple.
1, keep your abdomen warm.
The abdomen is where the child's spleen and stomach are. Some active children, so it is easy to catch cold in the abdomen.
Once the abdomen is cold and the spleen and stomach are stimulated, it will cause diseases such as diarrhea and abdominal pain, and it will also affect intestinal indigestion.
Therefore, parents should pay special attention to the problem of keeping the abdomen warm. For older children, you can add a vest appropriately. For younger children, you can put on a Chinese bra and sleep in a sleeping bag at night to avoid quilts.
Step 2 keep your back warm
To judge whether a child is properly dressed, you can touch the skin on his back, and the degree of heat and cold of the child's body can be fully reflected from the temperature here.
If the back is warm and does not sweat, it means that the child is dressed just right. If the back is hot and sweating is obvious, it means that you are wearing too many clothes and your body temperature is rising, so you need to reduce some clothes appropriately. Chinese medicine believes that the back generally prefers warmth. Parents should pay attention to the child's back and keep the child's temperature at a normal level.
3. Keep your hands and feet warm
As the saying goes, cold starts from the feet. Because feet are rich in nerve endings, they are extremely sensitive to changes in external temperature. Only by keeping your feet warm can you keep your whole body warm. At the same time, because the blood circulation ability of hands and feet is not strong, even if the body is warm, the limbs may be cold.
Therefore, once the weather changes, children need to put on gloves and airtight shoes in time so that their hands and feet will not be frostbitten. In addition, letting children rub their hands more, run more and exercise more can also speed up blood circulation.
(1) Keep your head cool.
Some parents like to let their children wear hats in cold weather. As a result, they found that their heads often sweated and their hair was wet. In fact, the child's head likes cold and hates heat and must be kept cool.
Because the head is easy to dissipate heat, 1/3 of the heat in the body will be dissipated through the head. Once the cover is too strict, it will cause fever in the body, which will lead to a feeling of irritability in the child's heart.
When you go out in cold weather, you can bring a breathable and lightweight hat to your child, which can make your child feel comfortable without affecting warmth.
② Keep your nose and mouth cold.
When children go out, some parents will let them wear masks to cover their mouths and noses.
Doing so will not only affect breathing, make the body feel uncomfortable, but also weaken the child's adaptability to the outside world. Once exposed to cold air, it is more likely to cause a cold.
Therefore, it is generally not recommended to let children wear masks without special circumstances.
However, when children catch a cold or cough, or face the threat of infectious diseases, severe smog and extreme weather, they must use masks for effective self-protection.
Going to Qiu Lai in summer is a natural and normal change, and children's clothes need to increase with the change of seasons, but the more the better.
Master it for the sake of children's health? Three warm and two cool? This principle can control the number of children's clothes and make them dress appropriately and healthily.
