After autumn comes, parents should pay attention to "one do's and four don'ts" when bringing their babies to bed, so that their children can sleep soundly and develop well.
After autumn, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. Wear short sleeves when it is hot during the day and cover with quilts when it is cold at night. It is okay for adults, who have good resistance and rarely get colds and illnesses without using quilts; but children do not. It’s the same. Autumn is a season where it’s easy to get sick. If a child often sleeps under the quilt, he or she will easily catch cold and increase the chance of getting sick.
After the National Day, I have been struggling with a question: What should I do if my child likes to sleep naked, but often kicks the quilt?
When I was a child, my child basically listened to the adults. I would put him in loose pajamas, so he didn’t have to worry about getting cold even if he kicked the quilt off. But now that the child is older and has his own ideas, he must be naked every time he goes to bed. Yo, otherwise you will toss and turn and keep saying to me, "Mom, I'm almost dying of heat." But he especially likes to kick the quilt, more than seven or eight times a night. Every time he wakes up, he will be found lying on the quilt, his body is cold.
I had no other choice, so I turned out the bed rails and mosquito net, and hung a thin quilt on the bed rail on the child's side to block the cool breeze seeping in from the window; although the mosquito net does not need to be Mosquitoes, but can be slightly insulated to reduce the chance of children catching cold.
It’s not bad at the moment, but the temperature is getting lower day by day. If you want to completely prevent your children from getting cold, you can only find correct and effective methods.
Kicking the quilt should be a habit of many children. Almost every child has kicked the quilt. The reasons vary from person to person.
A long time ago, scientists discovered that the body temperature of the human body will decrease during sleep. If the body temperature is actively changed before going to bed, the quality of sleep will be improved.
Researchers conducted an experiment on this. They asked the experimenters to wear clothes that could "lower skin temperature" before going to bed, and then compared them with ordinary people. After experiments, it was found that slightly lowering the skin temperature before going to bed can indeed lead to deeper sleep faster.
This is because human body temperature will have a rhythm of ups and downs under the guidance of the biological clock. The body temperature will drop slightly before going to bed, reaching the lowest point from midnight to early morning, and then the body temperature will slowly rise again. This In the process, people will gradually wake up.
In other words, changes in body temperature guide falling asleep and waking up. If changes in body temperature are regulated through external factors, it can affect the quality of sleep to a certain extent.
This should be the reason why many children don’t like to cover themselves with quilts before going to bed, but like to kick them off after going to bed, right?
In addition, of course there are other reasons, such as the quilt is too thick and the child is too hot; the clothes are too tight and the child is too stuffy; the child is too full and the stomach is uncomfortable...
Don’t let your children sleep like this no matter how cold the weather is. It will affect development and make them prone to illness. Parents, don’t ignore it
1. The quilt is too thick
After autumn , the weather is getting colder, and mothers are always worried about their children being too cold, so they like to cover them with thick quilts when they sleep. However, children have a fast metabolism. If the quilt is too thick, they will sweat easily and make them feel uncomfortable, so they will kick the quilt frequently. Moreover, the quilt is too thick and heavy, which will also affect the child's breathing. In order to breathe smoothly and feel comfortable, they will kick the quilt off frequently. .
A quilt that is too thick and heavy will not only increase the frequency of children kicking the quilt and increase their chance of getting sick, but will also affect the child's sleep quality and hinder their healthy development.
2. Eating too much
After autumn, children’s appetites get better and better. In order to let their children eat and drink well, mothers will cook a large table of delicious food for the children to eat. If you are too full and go to bed without waiting for digestion, your stomach will feel uncomfortable and your sleep will be affected. You will have unstable sleep, frequently change positions, kick the quilt, and even wake up crying at night.
Eating too much will not only affect sleep, but also affect the child's brain development.
If you eat too much before going to bed, in order to digest all the food, the digestive tract needs to expand, and all the limited oxygen will be transferred to the digestive tract, causing temporary hypoxia in brain cells. The more you eat, the more likely you are to be hypoxic. The more severe it is, the easier it is to affect the child's brain development; and eating too much will inhibit the physiological functions of the intelligent areas of the brain, which is not conducive to the development of language, thinking, memory, and imagination.
3. Excitement before going to bed
Don’t be too excited or too tired before going to bed, otherwise the concentration of adrenaline will increase and the child will have difficulty falling asleep, and even if he does fall asleep, his sleep will be unstable. , insomnia and many dreams. Moreover, excessive brain excitement will also inhibit the secretion of growth hormone and affect the child's height development.
4. Clothes that are too tight
It is normal to wear pajamas to sleep at night, but the pajamas should be loose and comfortable, not too thick, which makes the child feel too hot, and not too tight, which makes the child gasp. Out of breath.
Some parents like to wear socks for their children. It is normal for babies to wear socks in autumn, but the socks should not be too thick or tight. It is best to use larger, loose and comfortable socks.
PS: My child had severe diarrhea when he was two years old. I thought it was due to a bad stomach, but I went to the hospital for a checkup and found out that there was no problem. Later, I found out that it was the soles of his feet that were frozen to the ground.
It was autumn and the weather was relatively cold. The child especially liked to go barefoot, but the soles of his feet were frozen. Later, the child wore slippers at home during the day and loose socks at night. Within three days, the diarrhea was cured.
Of course, whether a child wears socks or not varies from person to person. If the child is young and has diarrhea, you can put them in loose socks when sleeping. If there is no diarrhea problem, the child will be more repulsive and they don't need to wear them when sleeping.
Although kicking the quilt is a common thing that almost every child has experienced, if you still kick the quilt frequently after autumn, it is easy to catch a cold and affect the health and development of your child. Therefore, for the sake of the child's health, parents must pay attention to "one do's and four don'ts" when taking their babies to sleep. Only in this way can the children sleep soundly and develop well.
First thing:
Wear a sleeping bag/pajamas for the baby
If the child always kicks the quilt, but the weather is very cold and it is easy for him to catch a cold, the mother can try Try pajamas or a sleeping bag. According to different seasons and different temperatures, prepare different pajamas and sleeping bags. They should not be too tight or too thick. After putting them on, try the temperature of the baby's back. If it is warm, there is no problem and there is no need to cover it with a quilt; If it is too cold, it means that your pajamas and sleeping bag are a little thin and you can change to something slightly thicker.
When choosing pajamas, there are many issues to pay attention to. If it is a nightgown or a baggy T-shirt, you need to consider the child’s sleeping position. Some children do not sleep well and often expose their stomachs, which will It is easy for the stomach to catch a cold.
Therefore, if your child does not sleep well, try to choose a sleeping bag or pajamas that will not expose the belly easily.
Four Don’ts:
