After the meal, the mothers pushed the baby out for a cool walk with a trolley, which became a landscape in the corner of the street garden. Convenient strollers also have a lot of attention, improper use will cause safety hazards to the baby.
Take the baby out, most of the mothers like to bring a piece of clothing or a small blanket on the cart, when there is sun, you can shield the baby from the sun, and when the wind rises, you can also block the wind.
As everyone knows, this kind of intimate small act invisibly hurts the health of the baby, just like the "invisible killer" haunting, mothers with babies must pay attention.
Xiao Yan's baby has just turned six months old, and in the summer heat, Xiao Yan often puts him in the stroller and pushes him out to play. Like most moms, Xiao Yan used to carry a small blanket.
On this day, the weather was sweltering and the baby was crying at home, so Xiao Yan took him for a walk in the shade outside and used a thin blanket to shield the wind from the sun.
But after a period of time, the baby suddenly became restless, crying non-stop, careful observation, the baby's skin is somewhat red, and the body temperature is relatively high to the touch.
After being sent to a nearby hospital for examination, the doctor said that this was an obvious phenomenon of heat stroke, fortunately, it was found in time and there was no major problem, and the culprit that caused the baby's heat stroke was actually a small blanket covered for it!
The doctor told Xiao Yan that although the blanket can shade the baby from the sun and the wind, if the weather is hot, it will hinder the air circulation.
The space of the stroller is small, it is not easy to dissipate heat, and then cover a small blanket, the temperature in the car will rise rapidly, the baby is in a high temperature closed environment, it is easy to heat stroke.
In the sweltering summer, it is not uncommon to seek medical treatment due to heat stroke every year, the baby's body is not yet fully developed, the resistance is low, and improper care is more likely to suffer from heat stroke.
Because the baby can't express itself because it is small, how to judge whether it is heat stroke?
1. Observe changes in skin and body temperature
If your baby suffers from heat stroke, a series of changes will occur in the skin and body temperature, such as increased body temperature and redness of the skin.
In the summer, the baby sweats less, so it is necessary to replenish water in time, let the baby drink more water, and dissipate the excess heat in the body through the form of sweat. In this way, the occurrence of heat stroke will reduce the probability of occurrence.
2. Keep an eye out for your child's abnormal behavior
Some children will show irritability, crying and uneasiness after heat stroke, and mothers should learn to observe and distinguish. If your baby is in a hot environment and cries incessantly, be wary of heat stroke.
If the symptoms are serious, there may be fatigue or coma after crying, and when such phenomena occur, we must send the child to the hospital at the first time and seek medical treatment in time.
3. Pay attention to the vomiting and diarrhea symptoms of the baby at high temperatures
After heat stroke, some babies will reflect it through the digestive tract. Specific manifestations are vomiting and diarrhea.
If you stay outdoors in the high temperature for a period of time, after returning home, the baby has symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, which may be caused by heat stroke, and the baby should be carried to a cool and ventilated place in time.
And wipe the body with a wet towel to cool down. If the situation does not improve after doing so, take your baby to the doctor for observation.
Heat stroke is an emergency that, if left untreated, can lead to organ damage and even life-threatening. Especially for babies, the body resistance is poor, and mothers must strengthen their care.
In life, it is necessary to keep the indoor temperature and humidity suitable and pay attention to ventilation, usually add more water to the baby, avoid the baby's vigorous activities in the hot environment, and do a good job of prevention.
