Spring is coming, but the weather is still relatively cold, so many parents will pay great attention to the problem of their children's clothing, especially those newborn parents, who are more worried about whether their children will get cold and sick.
A few years later, a friend of Kitoko, as a friend of bamboo horses, I had to come to the door to congratulate. However, when I went to their house to see the children, I found that the children were tightly wrapped, and it was reasonable to say that the heating temperature of their home was relatively comfortable, and they should not wrap so many clothes for the children.
So, I asked my friend why I had to wrap my child so thickly. When my friend heard my question, he did not give an answer, but agreed, because his friend had the same question.
It turned out that it was not a friend who wrapped so many clothes for the child, but the elderly at home, and then the elders of the friend told me that it was cold now, and the child had just been born, and it must be warm and warm, so that the child would not get sick.
In this regard, I dare not agree, newborns need to keep warm is certain, but the newborn wrapped like a rice dumpling, is not appropriate, after all, there is now indoor heating, the space temperature is much higher than the outside, adults wear a pair of pajamas will not feel cold, but to the child to wear so much, the child will certainly be uncomfortable.
Teach you to correctly judge whether the baby is cold or hot, parents quickly collect spare
● Incorrect way
In order to dispel the doubts in my heart, I asked the elders how to judge the child's hot and cold, and the elders confidently told me that to know the cold and warm situation of the newborn, you only need to touch the child's hands and feet, if the hands and feet are cold, then the child is cold, if the hands and feet are hot, then it is not cold.
But in fact, this method of touching hands and feet is a method often used by parents of the older generation, which has a certain truth, but it is not an accurate way to judge the child's cold and warm.
The child's hands and feet themselves are in the distal end, the peripheral circulation, and are not active, so the temperature is easy to become lower, that is:
The child's hands and feet become cold does not mean that the child must be cold, sometimes the child's hands and feet are cold, but in fact, the child is not cold. And this situation is often occurring, if parents only use this to judge the child's heat and cold, it is likely to cause the child to "hot cover" situation.
The child's hands and feet are warm, that is, the child is not cold, after all, the child's hands and feet are at the end of the body circulation, if the end is not cold, then the body is naturally not cold.
The child's hands and feet sweat, which means that the child is very hot, the same reason.
Hearing the elders say this, I suddenly lost trust in the elders, and I felt that I should try whether the child was hot or not.
●Correct judgment method
To judge whether the child is cold or hot, the correct way is usually only one, that is, to touch the child's neck and back, if the child's neck and back are found to be relatively cold, then it proves that the child is relatively cold, if the neck back is warmer, then it means that the child's clothes are more appropriate.
However, if there is sweat or moisture on the back of the child's neck, it means that the child is wearing a little too much clothing and needs to be appropriately reduced.
In addition, if the child has these conditions, parents also need to pay attention to:
The child's head is hot: it may be a fever caused by illness, but it may also be because of more clothing, insufficient body fluids caused by fever, parents can observe whether the child's body temperature is restored by feeding, loosening clothes or reducing clothes, if there is no recovery or hyperthermia, most of them are caused by diseases, parents should take the baby to seek medical treatment in time.
Blushing, prickly heat: the baby feels hot typical of the performance, if the baby has these conditions, parents should pay attention to timely reduction of clothing, and keep the clothing breathable.
Sneezing: When sneezing occurs, children generally feel cold, but sometimes it can be an allergy-induced sneezing.
So, I reached out and touched the back of the child's neck, and found that the child's back has been slightly damp, which actually means that the child feels hot, so I quietly told my friend that I should pay attention to loosening the clothes for the child, appropriately reduce some clothes, let the child breathe, otherwise it is likely to lead to heat cover syndrome.
After that, we talked about some questions about children, and when we left, I told my friends that children should not be warm, but they should not get cold.
Children are afraid of both cold and heat, parents must usually do a good job of keeping their children warm, especially the following parts.
Newborns are the most afraid of cold in these parts, we must pay attention to keep warm, poor protection may be small diseases continuously
head
After the baby is born, the head is generally not "a few grasses", and because of the position of the head, it has more chances of catching a cold, so parents should pay attention to keeping the newborn's head warm, it is best to prepare a warm hat for the baby to avoid the baby's head cold.
abdomen
We often find that even when it is hot, many parents will urge their children to cover their stomachs when they sleep, mainly because there are more organs in the abdomen, and if you are cold, it will affect the normal physiological activities of the organs, resulting in some problems.
And the intestines of the abdomen are still the largest immune organs of the human body, if the intestines are cold, it is likely to cause the baby to get sick, or there will be a situation such as running belly strain.
neck
The warmth of the neck, in fact, the main purpose is not simply to maintain the temperature of the neck, but to avoid cold air "poured" into the baby's clothes, resulting in the baby's front chest and back and other parts of the cold.
Therefore, parents should pay attention to the time of wearing clothes for the baby, not only to control the thickness of the clothes, but also to pay attention to the warmth and shelter of the neck, to ensure that the cold wind will not invade the interior of the clothes through the neck.
Write at the end
After leaving a friend's house, I can't help but sigh, do not know how to correctly judge the child's cold and warm novice parents are still many, like to warm the children of the elderly parents are still many, I hope that the future parents more objective to look at the parenting problem, do not blindly believe in the elderly parents.
But we can't blindly resist the parenting methods of the elderly, but we must look at the problem with a scientific eye, so that children can develop and grow better.
