In recent days, the temperature has risen, everything has recovered, the temperature difference between day and night has become larger and larger, between one cold and one warm, children are most likely to get sick, and many parents are busy giving their children "spring cover".
However, although "spring cover autumn freeze, do not produce miscellaneous diseases", but "spring cover" is not simply to wear more clothes, about these points of spring cover, we parents must be clear.
Why Spring Cover?
Spring temperature changes, the climate is also diverse, may be the day before the rain and snow, the next day will become a sunny day, the temperature of 10 degrees, directly from the down jacket to the thin sweatshirt, there is a hint of summer feeling.
And children not only have poor body temperature regulation ability, resistance is not as good as adults, in the face of such a changeable temperature and weather in the spring, if you often change clothes, in case you do not do a good job of keeping warm, it will be easy to catch a cold and fever, health problems.
Therefore, since ancient times, the mainland has had the custom of "spring covering", and there is also a saying that "the cotton clothes are skimmed in February, and there is pear blossom snow in March", which in the final analysis is for the sake of children's health and do a good job of keeping warm.
Spring cover should pay attention to "two warm and one cool"
Unlike some parents' imagination, spring cover to cover the child tightly and solidly, to give the child spring cover, the key should pay attention to "two warm and one cool", both to pay attention to the warmth of key parts, but also to pay attention to heat dissipation, to prevent sweating.
A warm: feet should be warm
I believe that many parents have heard the saying that "the foot is the second heart of the human body", for children, in the spring, we should pay special attention to the warmth of the little feet,
Especially in the northern part of the mainland, because the home is equipped with floor heating, many children are used to running around on the ground in winter, as the heating is about to end, the temperature has not fully warmed up, if the child is still barefoot on the ground, it is easy to get cold, causing gastrointestinal problems.
Therefore, in the spring, even indoors, we must put on socks for our children and keep our feet warm, after all, "cold is born from the feet".
Second warmth: the abdomen should be warm
Children's gastrointestinal development is not perfect, compared with adults, it is easier to get cold, so when covering in the spring, children's abdomen should also pay attention to keep warm.
Spring temperature changes greatly, some parents may be busy adding clothes and reducing clothes for their children, if there is a slight negligence, freezing to the small belly, it will also be easy to cause some gastrointestinal problems.
One cool: the forehead should be cold
The younger the child, the higher the proportion of head heat dissipation in the whole body heat dissipation, and the newborn's head heat dissipation can even reach 50% of the whole body heat dissipation.
So when the temperature is high, we can take off the child's hat in winter to ensure heat dissipation and maintain normal body temperature, of course, if the temperature is low, or when the wind is relatively large, it is still necessary to wear a thin and moderate hat for the child to do a good job of protection.
How long does it take to cover the spring?
In many parts of the mainland, in fact, there is no clear dividing line between the seasons, and it is precisely for this reason that some parents begin to "cover the spring" for their children early and refuse to end it.
In fact, although it takes several temperature changes from winter to spring, commonly known as "spring cold", after a period of time, the temperature will generally stabilize.
When we cover the child's spring, we can judge whether we can appropriately reduce the child's clothes through two indicators.
When the temperature difference between day and night is less than 8 degrees Celsius, it means that it has been "spring and warm flowers", and we can give the child appropriate clothing reduction.
The second indicator is the temperature level, if the temperature can be constant above 15 degrees Celsius, keeping 1-2 weeks without a large change, we can gradually end the "spring cover".
How to dress your child during "spring cover"?
In the spring, we can use the "onion dressing method" to ensure that the child's dressing temperature is comfortable, and at the same time it is convenient to put on and take off.
The so-called "onion dressing method" refers to dressing children like onions, which is divided into 3 layers from the inside to the outside, namely the constant temperature perspiration layer, the warm layer, and the windproof and rainproof layer.
The innermost layer is to ensure timely breathability and perspiration, we can choose a soft, breathable and perspiratory cotton material for children;
The middle layer is a warm layer, mainly warm clothes, such as cardigans, sweaters, etc.;
The function of the outermost layer of clothing is to protect against wind and rain, and we can choose a jacket, sweatshirt, etc. to match.
Spring temperature is low in the morning and evening, high at noon, through this "onion dressing method", we can adjust the thickness of children's clothes in time to cope with different temperatures.
It is worth mentioning that when we judge whether the child's temperature is comfortable, we should judge the temperature of the neck and back, rather than the hands and feet, by reaching in from the baby's back collar and stroking the back of the baby's neck and back to judge the warmth and cold:
If the skin is warm and dry, it means that the thickness of the clothing is appropriate;
If there is moisture and sweat, it means that the clothing is thick and needs to be reduced;
If it feels cold to the touch, add clothing in time.
Old Miao Conclusion:
Although there is a certain scientific reason for "spring and autumn freezing", it is not advisable to blindly "spring cover".
When we "spring cover" for children, we must increase or decrease clothing in a timely manner to ensure that the child's temperature is suitable, and wearing too thick or too thin is not conducive to the child's health.
