For many novice parents, taking care of children is really a headache, newborns are fragile and lack of expression ability, in the season change season, afraid that they are cold and wear more, easy to sweat and fever; afraid that they wear less hot, and easy to catch a cold.
Whether children are afraid of cold or heat, how to judge how they feel?
Pregnant mothers are afraid of the child's cold in labor, prepare a lot of clothes to keep warm, but the doctor said: calculate the moderate temperature to correctly dress the baby
Linlin is close to the end of the birth period, the time of delivery is probably at the end of next month, and it is now the time of winter.
Although there is air conditioning and heating in the hospital, Linlin thinks that the newborn's resistance is weak, or to prepare more clothes to avoid getting cold, but the mother-in-law feels that the air conditioning and heating are enough, and the child cannot be warmed.
Just when the doctor checked the room, Linlin consulted the child's warmth, but the doctor did not affirm the idea of two people, because "the physiological mechanism of the newborn is incompletely developed, not only afraid of cold, but also afraid of heat." "Therefore, simple warmth and heat protection are not right, and the clothes and covers should be worn according to the baby's body sensation to avoid the child from being attacked by hot and cold."
How to judge your child's hot and cold condition?
Touch the child's back to judge
In the case of moderate temperature of adult hands, after the baby is asleep, parents can feel the child's hot and cold situation by touching the child's back.
If there is a slight sweat, it means that the child's body is overheated at this time, and if it is left unchecked, the child may become hot and the back will also be aware of prickly heat.
Therefore, at this time, parents should help their children to gently wipe off sweat with a cotton towel, and if the clothes have been soaked, they should change their clothes in time. Then change the thin quilt for the child, pay attention to the gentle movements, do not wake the child.
If the back is dry, the temperature is moderate and the baby is more comfortable, then there is no need to worry.
Touch your child's limbs and observe your child's face
Feet, arms, face cold, indicating that the child is in a cold state, this time we can choose to increase the air conditioning temperature, add clothes for the baby, or help the baby cover the quilt, etc., in order to increase the baby's body temperature.
If the baby's face is flushed, slightly sweaty, and there is sweat on the soles of the palms and feet, this means that the baby is in a hot state and needs to cool the baby down and reduce clothing. In this process, parents need to pay attention to the fact that they cannot suddenly change all the baby's clothes, it is easy to make them cold, and it should be gradually reduced. It's normal for your baby to sweat or have a little cold hands and feet in your daily routine, so there's no need to worry too much.
How should parents help their children dress up?
About the cover quilt
Newborns do not need a cover 1-2 hours after falling asleep. Because the nervous system is not fully developed, the heat in the newborn's body can only be released by sweating, and a reasonable metabolism cannot be formed.
Therefore, newborns are extremely prone to sweating within 1-2 hours after falling asleep, and this phenomenon can only get better after their nervous system is no longer excited.
As for the choice of quilt, it is generally determined according to the seasonal changes, the summer is thin and the winter is thick, but it cannot be too thick, otherwise it will be oppressed to the child.
About dressing
At the same temperature, babies need more clothing than adults because they are more afraid of the cold.
We can refer to the father's dressing standards in the family, and add an extra layer to the dressing requirements that are suitable for the child.
Be careful, try to choose loose and breathable cotton clothing for your baby to wear.
