Winter is coming, I believe that many parents of newborns have a common annoyance, that is, whether the newborn is afraid of cold or heat, how much clothing is appropriate for the child.
In this cold winter, both children and adults are wrapped in three layers and three layers, not to mention newborns, they are tightly wrapped, afraid of being frozen.
I remember one time, my sister had just given birth, I went to my sister's house to see her and see the children, and when I went, it was because of the confinement that the house was very warm.
Watching the child wrapped in three layers of inner and outer layers like a rice dumpling, I was a little crying and laughing. I reached out and touched the back of the child's neck and found that the back of the child's neck had already emitted a little fine bead of sweat. At this time, the child's grandmother brought a blanket to wrap the child, at this time, I said: "Wear so much for the child, won't it heat him?" ”
At this time, the child's grandmother said: "It is much better to wear more clothes, so as not to get sick with a cold." My sister said on the couch, "Eh! Now I don't know how much to wear for the child, wear more children and hot, wear less children and have to be frozen. ”
The child's grandmother touched the child's little hand and said, "Look at this child's little hand is cold, it must be cold, you touch it." ”
After saying that, he picked up the blanket he had just taken and prepared to wrap another layer for the child. "Can't add any more, the child should be hot and panicked." I reached out and touched the back of the child's neck, which was still dripping with fine beads of sweat.
"How much will the child wear?" I don't know whether such a newborn is afraid of cold or afraid of heat, and I am indeed afraid of his heat. My sister asked curiously. Babies are not as afraid of the cold as we think! My sister. "I took the child and coaxed it while telling my sister.
In fact, the question of whether the newborn is afraid of cold or afraid of heat has puzzled me before, and then I checked a lot of relevant information, and listened to the courses of several online lecturers, plus a period of visiting and investigating at home, I found that newborns are not as afraid of cold as we ordinary people think. It's winter and I think it's worth sharing this knowledge with you.
About the temperature in the room:
In the summer, the room temperature is preferably around 22 degrees, not too high or too low. In winter, the indoor temperature should be controlled at about 26 degrees.
At the same time, avoid the air conditioning wind blowing at the baby!
About indoor humidity:
In the summer, the best indoor humidity should be maintained between 40 and 70%, and in the winter, it can be slightly lower, trying to be between 40 and 50%.
Are newborns afraid of cold or heat?
It is understood that there is actually a mechanism called brown fat to keep newborns warm, generally these brown fats are mostly distributed in the neck, shoulder blades, armpits and the back of the spine and chest, and those brown fats will automatically regulate the child's body temperature problems.
Therefore, newborns are not as afraid of cold as we think.
How do you tell if a newborn is cold or hot?
In fact, as mentioned above, the grandmother touching the child's hand and saying that the child is cold is incorrect.
This is also the practice of many people, and even some people touch the child's cheek, they decisively say that the child is cold or hot, blindly adding or subtracting clothes to the child. If you add more clothes, your child will feel very hot, causing sweating, and a red rash or eczema will find your child;
If you wear less clothes, the child will be cold, and the child will have a fever and a cold. So it is very important to correctly judge whether the child is cold or hot.
If the child's neck and back are warm and moderate, it means that the clothing is just right, no need to add or add;
To accurately judge the cold and heat of the newborn, you can touch the child's neck and back with your hands, if the child's back and neck are cold, it means that the child is cold and it is time to add clothes to him properly;
If the child's neck and back are warm to the point of fine beads of sweat, it means that the child is a little hot, and it is necessary to reduce some clothes in time, or unbutton a few buttons, but remember that the warmth of the baby's head and feet and stomach must be in place, and the adults will be uncomfortable when these parts are frozen, not to mention the newborn.
