They all say "March day, child's face, change is change".
The weather has warmed up these days, and several mothers are asking, the baby's neck, back and chest have grown a lot of rashes, at first there are only a few, and then they are connected into pieces, what is going on?
Some mothers are very worried about whether the baby is eczema, and later consulted the pediatrician in our hospital, only to put their minds at ease, it turned out that it was the prickly heat that was covered out by wearing too much.
"Spring cover" should be moderate, and the consequences of covering the wrong one are very serious. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "spring covers autumn frost, do not produce miscellaneous diseases". Among them, "spring cover" means that the spring weather has just turned warm, warm and cold at first, the temperature changes greatly, do not rush to take off the cotton clothes, or have to "cover". Otherwise, once the temperature drops, it will be difficult to adapt, so that the body's resistance will decline, and if the bacteria take advantage of the deficiency, it is easy to cause various respiratory diseases and winter and spring infectious diseases.
However, "spring cover" should also have a degree, not the more clothes to wear the better, if the wrong cover, but will be unfavorable to the baby:
Easy to catch a cold
Bao Dad and Bao Mom must first understand that "catching a cold" is usually not caused by cold weather, but in the case of sweat and water all over the body, a cool wind is blown, causing a sudden decrease in body temperature.
Easy to get prickly
Children's skin barrier function is still relatively poor, the stratum corneum is thin, the sweat gland ducts are not mature enough, and it is easy to grow prickly heat when encountering high temperature, humidity, poor ventilation, excessive sweating and blocking the pores of sweat glands.
So, although it is still spring, it is not surprising that many babies have a lot of prickly heat because they wear too much.
The most severe is the fever syndrome
Chinese parents seem to have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder about their children wearing clothes, especially the elderly, who are always worried that their children will be cold and think that it is better for children to wear more.
However, the child's metabolism is already very strong, if you wear too much, the child's body is limited to thick clothes, the heat generated can not be dissipated, and the temperature in the clothes is getting higher and higher.
Children are small, the heat will not complain and struggle, long-term high temperatures will lead to high fever, dehydration, lack of oxygen, coma, and even respiratory and circulatory failure, which is also "cover heat syndrome".
Doctor's Reminder :
"Fever syndrome"
More common in infants under 1 year of age, especially newborns, every year from November to April is the peak period of onset, if the treatment is not timely, the baby may have permanent damage to the central nervous system, and even lead to the baby's death in a short period of time, the case fatality rate is as high as 18-19%!
Therefore, parents must pay attention not to wear too much of the baby, the bag is too tight, too strict, too thick.
Spring children also have more colds and fevers, when encountering fever, we must pay attention to observing the child's mental condition, and the level of body temperature does not represent the severity of the disease.
If the child's mental state is not good, in addition to fever, there are other serious manifestations, such as breathing becomes short and difficult, unwilling to eat, vomiting or diarrhea and other conditions, be sure to seek medical attention in time.
Listen to the following suggestions, this is the correct way to open the spring cover:
01 Grasp the timing of "covering"
The temperature changes relatively quickly in the spring, and mothers can consider whether to wear thick clothes for their babies according to the temperature. Generally speaking, 15 ° C is the critical temperature of spring cover, when the maximum temperature during the day exceeds 15 ° C, you may wish to take off the baby's thick clothes, only in the morning and evening to put on the baby thick clothes to prevent colds.
02 Judge the cold and warm touch the back of the neck
Many parents are based on the child's hands and feet cold and warm to decide the child's wear, in fact, the hands and feet are nerve endings, blood circulation is relatively poor, if the baby's hands and feet are cold, it does not necessarily mean that it is not warm enough.
Make sure your baby is cold or warm, touch the back of your baby's neck and tank top.
The back of his neck and back were warm and dry, indicating that he was dressed just right;
Sweating on the back of his neck and back indicates that he needs to take off some clothing;
There was some chills on the back of his neck and back, indicating that he needed to wear more.
03 Dress the baby to be three warm and two cool
Infants and young children are metabolized quickly, coupled with constant exercise when awake, similar to the adult working state, so in fact, children are more resistant to cold than adults, and usually wear clothes can refer to the clothing worn by adults when they work.
The elderly are slow, easy to be cold, do not blindly dress children according to the feelings of the elderly.
The three warm and two cool refers to:
●Head cool
A large part of the heat emitted by the baby's body is emitted by the head, and if it is overheated, it is easy to be dizzy and upset.
When it's not too cold, the baby doesn't need to wear a hat, which is more conducive to keeping the baby refreshed. If the weather is cold, put a hat on the baby, don't cover your head tightly.
●Cold heart
If the upper body is too thick and bloated, it will compress the chest, affect normal breathing and heart function, and easily cause upset and internal heat.
●Foot warmth
As the saying goes, "cold comes in from the foot", the nerve endings on the soles of the feet are very rich, and they are also the most sensitive places to the outside world.
In the warm spring and summer, many babies are walking barefoot, the weather is cold, you must pay attention to the warmth of the feet, put on small socks.
●Belly warm
If your baby's abdomen is cold, it is easy to have stomach pain and diarrhea.
Therefore, pay attention to keeping the baby's belly warm, when sleeping at night, you can wear a longer top and tuck the top into the pants to avoid the small navel from getting cold.
●Back warmth
Keeping your baby's back warm can prevent diseases and reduce the occurrence of colds.
As the saying goes, "if you want to be safe, you often suffer from three points of hunger and cold", which is a degree of taking care of the baby, and everything is excessive, it will cause harm. So, don't overshadow your baby! In the case of excessive warmth, the baby's exercise is hindered, which is not conducive to the improvement of his own resistance, and it is easy to induce "heat protection syndrome".
Spring cover is only passive defense, we should still take the baby to the outdoor exercise, basking in the sun, which is more conducive to improving resistance.
