There is a passage on the Internet called "There is a kind of cold call" "Your mother thinks you are cold"
For the baby, how much clothes to wear is determined by the parents.
Dress your baby, wear more and wear less will be sick, how much is appropriate to wear?
When you read the doctor's best "dressing formula for babies", parents don't have to worry about ~~~
Director of the Outpatient Office of the First People's Hospital of Hangzhou and pediatric experts remind everyone:
"Recently, there are more than 700 cases of children who come to the hospital every day for fever, and almost 1/4 of the children in a class of kindergartens and primary schools have fever.
Many parents ask, if the child is warmly dressed, how can he still have a fever? Why is the resistance so weak? I always tell them to wear less clothes for their children.
I and many doctors have found that many children with fever have sweat on their foreheads and backs when they come to see the doctor, and their clothes are covered too much. ”
After the weather turned cold, small children with fever syndrome began to appear.
Cover fever syndrome, also known as "infant hypoxia syndrome", or "infant sweltering fever syndrome", the hospital will receive several cases every year, severe hypoxia, high fever, sweating, dehydration, convulsions and coma, and even lead to brain damage in children.
He reminded that babies under 1 year old, if there is a lot of sweating and purple face, they should check in time whether it is too hot.
Fever 39.5 ° C
He actually wore three cotton jackets and a sweater
The deputy chief physician of the Department of Pediatrics of a hospital in Hangzhou looked at 45 children a day, and 5 of them felt that they were wearing too much at a glance.
Male infant, 6 months old, fever 39.5 ° C.
The upper body wears thick cotton underwear + sweater + cotton vest + silk cotton jacket, the lower body is thick cotton trousers + wool pants, and the whole body is covered with a stretch flocculent cotton jacket. The child was not in good spirits, lying motionless on his grandmother's back.
The doctor touched the child's back, all sweaty, and quickly asked the grandmother to take off the child's silk cotton jacket and the elastic flocculent cotton jacket to dissipate heat.
Female baby, 10 months old, fever close to 40 ° C, red face fluttering.
The child wears a cotton sweater + sweater + silk cotton jacket + down jacket on the upper body, and thick cotton trousers + sweater pants + silk cotton pants on the lower body.
Grandma said that after drinking milk in the morning, the child began to lose his temper and cry, and he couldn't do anything to coax it.
The doctor told the grandmother to pinch the child's underwear, and the grandmother cried out in shock, "How wet", panicked and pulled a towel out of the bag and tucked it into the child's clothes to absorb sweat.
The doctor said that both children wore two cotton jackets, and in such weather, one cotton jacket was enough. In general, cotton vests do not need to be worn. Children dress according to the same principles as adults.
Newborn babies under 1 year old, the thermoregulation center function is not yet sound, can not be automatically adjusted when it is too cold or overheating, and the adaptability to the outside temperature is very poor.
Especially for babies within 5 months, they drink milk easily sweat, heat production is very large, sweating heat dissipation is relatively slow, if parents wrap the baby very tightly, it is easy to produce a high-heat environment, resulting in heat stroke in the baby.
Dress enough, don't look at the warmth of the hands
Instead, touch the collarbone and the back
There was also a boy in the clinic, 8 years old, who had a fever for five days and was 39.5 ° C yesterday. The child wears a thin cotton sweater + sweater + sweater + sweater thin vest + down jacket on the upper body, and cotton sweaters + jeans on the lower body.
His grandfather said that the 11 children in the class had a fever, and the teacher said that he could only go to school after the fever had subsided, fearing cross infection.
What he was worried about was that the child's hands and feet were cold every afternoon, and he began to have a fever at night, which was 39.5 ° C, did not eat food, and coughed very badly. The doctor touched the child's hand and neck, the hand was ice and the neck was warm.
"Hand ice is related to fever."
The doctor praised the child's grandfather and said that your child was dressed just right. The children brought by grandparents are mostly dressed more. Many elderly people like to judge whether the child's clothes are enough according to their own feelings, thinking that the hand is cool to the touch, so they add clothes to the child, in fact, it is too much.
Doctors remind that there are two ways to determine whether a child wears more clothes:
First, touch the child's collarbone, if the collarbone is warm, it means that the clothes are just wearing well;
Second, touch the back, if there is sweat on the back, even the clothes are already wet, indicating that the clothes are too much to wear, and you should reduce your clothes in time.
The "dressing formula" for Chinese
Temperature + increased temperature of clothes = 26 °C
Of course, countries have different concepts, and it is really difficult to ask our children to wear shorts in winter like foreign children.
So how do you know if it's comfortable for a child to wear so much today? Is there a formula that can be quantified?
Yes.
The physician of Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine spent three months to summarize the child's "dressing formula". It was the lesson she had learned from her daughter.
She said that when her daughter was in kindergarten in 2012, she also had two colds for three days, so she wanted to figure out how much clothing was most comfortable for children.
Since September 2012, the doctor has carried a thermometer with him to record the temperature of the day, what clothes her daughter wore when she had a cold, what clothes she wore when she sweated, how much temperature was indoors, and how much temperature was outside.
After 3 months of practice summary, the physician concluded:
The temperature plus the temperature that the clothes can increase, controlled at 26 ° C, is the most comfortable clothing condition for children, will not get cold and sneeze, and will not sweat when moving.
According to the doctor's measurements, the temperature can be increased per piece of clothing:
Thick down jacket 9 °C, thin down jacket 6 °C, slightly thick stretch wool coat 5 °C, thick wool sweater 4 °C, cotton vest 4 °C, scratch clothes 3 °C, thin coat 3 °C, thick cotton sweater 2 °C, thin cotton sweater is 1 °C.
When the temperature is 26 ° C, it is just right to wear a T-shirt, taking this as a benchmark, if the temperature drops by 3 ° C, it is just right to add a thin coat; down 4 ° C, add a thick cardigan. And so on.
In addition, no matter what the season, the baby should choose to wear cotton, silk or linen, sweat absorption without irritating the skin.
Too tight, too thick clothes and pants will limit the baby's movement and development, is not conducive to perspiration, ventilation, encounter cool breeze is easy to cold and flu.
Children's small feet are easy to sweat, parents should often pinch the baby's small feet, and if they find that they are sweaty, they must replace the cotton socks in time.
