Summer is here, and the sunshine is full and warm! The skin of young children is much more tender than that of adults, and they are more susceptible to weather changes.
Therefore, if you want your baby to be comfortable in the summer, parents should pay attention to these five things!
Keep dry and keep prickly heat away from your baby
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the baby sweats a lot, the tender skin is easy to grow prickly, the babies are itchy and uncomfortable, and the mothers are also anxious. Therefore, it is best to do a good job before this and not let the baby grow prickly heat.
Red prickly heat (dense red papules)
Prickly heath (white pinprick-like papules)
Pus (pus visible in herpes)
The first is to keep the home cool, turn on the air conditioner to the right temperature, pay attention to ventilation, and let the baby play and rest in a comfortable environment.
How to prevent it? Four key words: cool, breathable, clean, dry
1. Cool
Reduce the ambient temperature, the weather is hot, can not rely on their own subjective feelings to judge, open the fan or air conditioner, the temperature is controlled at about 22-24 ° C, the child does not sweat is appropriate.
In addition, you can also prepare a baby pillow for the baby for the summer, so that the child can keep the head and neck dry when sleeping.
2. Breathable
Intimate clothing choose pure cotton products, soft and light skin, loose and appropriate, open the window ventilation, keep the air convection in the room; babies are prone to sweating when sleeping, pay attention to adjust the sleeping position.
3. Clean and dry
It is recommended to bathe the baby every day, the water temperature is appropriate at about 32 ° C, pay attention to the cleaning of the skin folds, wipe the whole body after washing, and do not forget the folds.
4. Wipe sweat in time
The baby's head, neck, chest, and back are easy to sweat, especially when the child plays, it is easier to sweat. Therefore, mothers need to pay attention to the fact that once the baby sweats, they should clean and dry the baby in time, and then apply prickly heat powder.
When you come back from playing with your baby, you also need to wash your baby in time, or scrub the sweaty part with a warm towel.
Change diapers frequently and wash small farts frequently
In summer, the metabolism of young children is very active, in addition to urinating and defecating, sweat will also increase the humidity on the surface of the baby's skin. Wet diapers on the surface and sticking to your baby's little ass for a long time will weaken the skin's resistance. Mixing feces with urine will make the skin pH alkaline, and rubbing can easily lead to diaper rash.
Therefore, mothers should check the condition of the baby's diapers in time, especially after the baby defecates.
Many mothers will wash carefully when changing the baby's diaper at home, but once they take the baby out, they often ignore this step because of various conditions.
Therefore, it is recommended that mothers bring a few wet wipes specially suitable for babies when they go out, scrub them in time after the baby goes to the toilet, and then change into a new diaper.
If conditions permit, allowing the baby to breathe in a private environment can not only make them more comfortable, but also make the baby's mood better. For example, some diaper tables have disposable sanitary pads placed on them, and babies can play directly on them without wearing diapers to let the fart "relax".
How to bask in the sun scientifically?
1. Basking in the sun mainly basks on the baby's hands, feet and back, exposing the skin as much as possible and allowing the sun to be in close contact with the skin.
2, the sun should be gradual, can be gradually increased from ten minutes to 1-2 hours is appropriate, it is recommended that the maximum daily sun exposure time is not more than 2 hours.
3. Under normal circumstances, it is best to bask in the sun at 9-10 am or 4-5 pm.
Mother's note: In the process of basking in the sun, if you find that the baby's skin is red, sweating too much, and the pulse is accelerated, you should go home immediately, let the baby drink warm water, and use warm water to wipe the baby's body, if necessary, the hospital.
It is recommended to wear a long coat and long sleeves, with sunscreen, sunhat, sunglasses, and try to find a cool place, so that it is multi-pronged.
For babies under 6 months old, it is not recommended to use sunscreen and sunglasses, generally wear long clothes and long sleeves for babies or umbrellas and sun visors for strollers;
Babies over 6 months old can use sunscreen. In the choice of sunscreen, it must first be safe and meet the relevant national quality standards. Secondly, it is best to use a special sunscreen for infants and young children, because the baby's skin is more acidic than that of adults, and adult sunscreen should not be used. Usually, a sun protection index of 20-25 is sufficient. If you want to go to a place with strong ultraviolet rays such as the beach, you can choose a sunscreen with a sunscreen index of more than 30. Before applying sunscreen to your baby, you can do a skin test behind his ear and give it to your baby if there is no allergy.
Baby anti-mosquito, mosquito repellent so choose
Summer was the best time to play outdoors with the baby, but when I walked back to see, on the child's white and tender body, the big red bag couldn't bear to look directly, and even the neck of the foot was bitten out of a circle of "red chains"...
Why are babies so easy to attract mosquitoes?
Many mothers think that it is because the baby's skin is smooth and white, and the blood is particularly sweet, or related to blood type and gender, but these are not right.
The truth is because the baby has a fast metabolism, loves to sweat, and the body temperature is a little higher than that of adults, and these are the favorites of mosquitoes, so the baby is easy to attract mosquitoes.
Before going out, apply the baby's special anti-mosquito liquid, which can effectively play a role in repelling mosquitoes.
At present, the baby repellent liquid on the market, choose these 3 kinds:
1, DEET: suitable for babies over 2 months, its function index is very high, but the concentration can not exceed 30%;
2, mosquito repellent esters: suitable for babies over 2 months, this is safer, but the mosquito repellent effect is relatively weak;
3, Picaridin: suitable for babies over 6 months, this mosquito repellent effect is good, mild, irritating is not large, but the concentration can not exceed 20%.
These 3 kinds of mosquito repellent liquids can also be used with confidence by pregnant mothers, and they will not affect the fetus.
The correct application of mosquito repellent: Mom can first apply the repellent on her hands, and then apply it to the baby's skin. However, when you go home, you should wash it in time.
Choosing diapers does not have to be as thin as possible
The weather gets hotter, isn't the thinner the diaper, the better?
The answer is not necessarily!
When choosing, mothers should choose a thin and moderate style.
When changing diapers, the mother can touch the baby's little ass, if it is dry and not wet, it means that it is the most appropriate.
If you blindly pursue thinness, it will lead to poor water absorption, and you cannot drain the baby's urine in time, causing diaper rash.
