The weather is getting colder, many babies are forced to be locked at home, but blindly letting the baby stay indoors is actually not conducive to the growth and development of the baby, so when the weather is clear, you can take the baby out to bask in the sun. Basking in the sun can help the body obtain vitamin D, thereby promoting the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and can also improve the body's immune function.
But in the winter, the weather is cold, taking the baby out of the house, and the mothers are worried about what to do if it freezes? So, what should mothers do to let their babies bask in the sun safely and healthily? And while basking in the sun, what else do moms need to pay attention to?
In the winter to bask in the baby, these points to know:
1. It is better to bask in the sun or outdoors
In winter, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is still relatively large, and mothers do not take the baby out at once, you can first open the window on the balcony of the home for a while, so that the baby has a process of adaptation, and then take it to the outdoor sun.
2. Choose a suitable time for sunbathing
What time of day is the best time of day to take your baby to the sun? Moms should remember: you can choose 9:00-10:00 a.m. and 4:00-5:00 p.m.
And each time in the outdoor sun time is best not too long, at the beginning only a few minutes of sun, after which you can gradually extend to ten minutes, or 1 hour, try to control in 2 hours. It is recommended to take a break in the shade every time you sunbathe.
3. When basking in the sun, you can give your baby a heavy sun on the limbs and back
When basking in the sun, according to the temperature conditions at that time, try to make the baby's skin in close contact with the sun. You can give your baby more sunbathing to his hands, feet and back.
But pay attention to the protection of the face and eyes. Keeping your baby's face and eyes in direct sunlight for a long time can cause dry or even burned skin, as well as serious damage to vision. We adults stay in the sun for a long time, and our heads will feel dizzy, let alone babies?
4, when basking in the sun, it is best to put red clothes on the baby
I'm afraid many mothers don't know this, why wear red clothes for the baby? It is because red clothes can reflect off the lethal ultraviolet rays, which can better bask in the sun and is more conducive to the baby's health.
5. Before basking in the sun, it is necessary to supplement nutrition appropriately
Before basking in the sun, mothers can give their babies some calcium supplements in advance, which is conducive to calcium absorption. In the usual, you can also give the baby more foods with high calcium content, such as milk, kelp, shrimp, fish, beans, sesame, etc., and eat some calcium-containing supplements appropriately.
6. When basking in the sun, try not to wrap your baby like a rice dumpling
In winter, even if the weather is good and the sun is very large, it is occasionally mixed with a trace of cold wind. Mothers are afraid of the baby freezing, like to give the baby a lot of clothes left and right, so it is actually difficult to achieve the purpose of basking in the sun.
When drying, you can appropriately reduce the baby's clothing. After basking in the sun, remember to put your clothes on again, otherwise it is easy to catch a cold.
7. When basking in the sun, do not dry through the glass
Many of our moms love to take their babies to the sun on their balcony. It is indeed convenient to bask in the sun on the balcony and can be done at any time, but it is important to note here that we had better not bask in the sun through the glass.
Because these transparent glasses can block the ultraviolet rays in the sun, although the baby is basking in the sun, it can't actually achieve much effect.
8. After basking in the sun, you should replenish water in time and do not take a bath too quickly
Mother should have the habit of bringing a water cup when she goes out, and when the baby is basking in the sun, give him water in time.
After basking in the sun, it is best not to bathe the baby immediately. Because the human skin contains a substance, under ultraviolet radiation can be converted into vitamin D3, the role of vitamin D3 needless to say, is to promote the absorption of calcium. Take a bath immediately after drying, these substances are gone, you can wash it after a while.
In addition, regarding the sunbathing of the baby, there are some misunderstandings in the mother group, for example, most people think that the sun is supplemented with calcium, but in fact, the sun is not calcium, but vitamin D.
Vitamin D3, on the other hand, promotes calcium absorption, thereby increasing calcium content. If vitamin D3 is deficient, then only 10%-15% of the calcium in the diet is absorbed.
In addition, we know that vitamin D can also promote the baby's bones to be stronger, and has a preventive effect on the baby's rickets and rickets.
The above is about the winter with the baby sun knowledge, mothers are remembered?
