On April days, the temperature in the south has warmed up, and many children in the community have taken off their heavy winter coats. As a mother, of course, I was also anxious to prepare for my children's seasonal clothes.
Before dinner, the T-shirt that I bought online for my child arrived, and I opened the package and planned to let the child try it out. Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law on the side quickly stopped: "Now is not the time to wear thin clothes, the old ancestors said 'spring cover autumn freeze', spring cover well, children can be less sick." ”
Looking at my mother-in-law's serious look, I had to patiently explain to her: "Mom, the health care method summarized by the old ancestors in spring and autumn freezing does have a certain truth." But it is really not suitable for children who exercise a lot and have a fast metabolic cycle. If you continue to cover the spring as if it were winter, your child may develop 'fever syndrome'.
And children are different from adults, we know that clothes are added or decreased with the change of indoor and outdoor temperature differences, but children are not yet. In the spring they wear a lot, they love to sweat when they run, and isn't it easier to get sick when they encounter the wind? ”
"Then you can't freeze the child?" The mother-in-law was a little anxious.
I told my mother-in-law: "When children dress in the spring, they must follow the law of two warm and one cool, so that the children will not be cold and will not be covered up with illness." ”
What is the dressing rule of "two warm and one cool"?
Feet keep warm
The ancient adage of cold from the foot is justified, because the foot is the farthest from the heart of the blood supply organ, plus the foot has less subcutaneous fat, there is no "natural warmth barrier", and the foot's own warmth ability is poor. Once the feet are not warmed, the cold evil can easily invade from this weak part.
What gives moms a headache is that most of the children seem to be "barefoot". In my case, my kid loved to run around the house barefoot. In the middle of summer, it is better to say, but the temperature in the spring is not high, and without turning on the heating and air conditioning, the child is barefoot in contact with the ground, and it is easy to get cold.
To avoid the child's foot cold, in addition to prohibiting the child from walking and running barefoot, the light socks must be prepared in advance for several pairs to ensure that the child's feet are warm.
The abdomen should be warm
The younger the baby, the more attention should be paid to keeping warm in the abdomen, because the child's gastrointestinal function is not perfect, and once the abdomen is cold, it is easy to cause diarrhea.
It should be emphasized that when going out, you need to pay attention to the warmth of the abdomen, and many children play at home, even if the room temperature is appropriate, but the children like to lie on the ground or play close to the ground. Therefore, the temperature exposed to the child's abdomen is several degrees lower than the room temperature, and it is easy to cause the child's abdomen to be cold after a long time, which will then cause abdominal pain and diarrhea symptoms.
Therefore, children of small age, in order to effectively keep the abdomen warm, try to wear a jumpsuit. For slightly older children, parents can let the child wear a vest, or prepare a hood and wear it close to the child to keep warm.
Head to be cool
Hats are the standard for many parents to keep their children warm, after all, the head is a key part, and it is not good to be cold! But in fact, parents should understand that one-third of the heat dissipation on the surface of the human body is carried out in the head. If the head is too hot, the child is prone to dizziness and dizziness.
Therefore, in the spring, there is no wind outside, or the temperature is moderate indoors, the child's head does not need to be warm, except for a sunny day can prepare a sunhat, the rest of the time remember to keep the baby's head fresh.
Of course, in addition to this "two warm and one cool", it is also exquisite to dress children in the spring.
The main points of spring dressing, please grasp!
(1) Do not change clothes frequently
Spring is the season of recovery of all things, the sunshine is relatively abundant, and many parents will take their children to increase the time for outdoor activities. If you exercise a lot, it means that the child sweats a lot. Some anxious mothers feel that their children change their clothes immediately when they are hot, which is actually not correct. Because one take off and one wear, the time that the child's body is exposed to the air increases, and it is more likely to get colds and colds.
The correct approach is: if the child is already sweating, parents can use a dry towel to wipe the child's sweat in time, and then wait for the natural air to dry for a while, do not change clothes immediately. When the child's exercise is over and the body temperature is lowered, it is necessary to immediately add clothes to the child.
(2) Go out and prepare more
Spring is the season of the year, the season with the largest temperature difference between morning and evening, so go out in the spring do not hope that a piece of clothing can cope, parents must make more preparations.
Correct way to do it: Take your child out, it is best to prepare a vest, a light hat, a thin coat and other clothing in advance according to the weather forecast. When the temperature is the highest at noon, you can take off your coat to facilitate your child's free movement, and when the temperature begins to fall in the afternoon, you must add a vest to your child.
(3) Learn to judge whether your child is cold or hot
Mothers who often bring children can actually judge whether their children are cold or hot based on experience. For example, if you touch your child's neck and back, these two places will really reflect the child's body surface temperature.
Correct judgment: If the skin in these two places is relatively refreshing to the touch, it proves that the child is dressed more appropriately. If the skin on your child's neck or back is a little sticky, or a little sweat can be touched, it means that your child is hot at this time and needs to reduce clothing to help heat dissipation. This is when you need to take off your coat or change your child into a light and thin piece of clothing.
If the neck and back of the two parts, the mothers feel some coolness when they touch them with their hands, indicating that the child needs to keep warm at this time, then it is necessary to add a piece of clothing to them in time.
Although "spring and autumn freeze" is said to be an experience that has been handed down from generation to generation, it is not completely applied to children, and if parents blindly give their children "spring cover", they may let children suffer from it. With a baby in the spring, it is necessary to choose clothes of moderate thickness and thickness, ensure the warmth of key parts, and increase or decrease clothes in a timely manner according to weather changes, so that children can get sick less and grow up healthy and healthy.
