I saw a warmest grandpa on the Internet not long ago, covering his grandson tightly. He only saw a pair of eyes, the child's hands were covered by long clothes, and his face, nose and mouth were also covered by a scarf.
And netizens said one after another, the child was not badly badly damaged, but badly covered. And if you wear it like this, if the child falls, the problem will be serious.
What the netizens said is indeed reasonable. Many parents are afraid that their children will be cold. In fact, the chance of children being cold is extremely low, and the children are more likely to be overwhelmed by being hot.
A colleague of Yingma used to take cold showers by herself. In summer, autumn and winter when it is not too cold, she also took cold showers for her three-year-old child. The little guy wears very little every day, but he rarely gets sick. I get better if I get sick a lot.
And Ying's mother sees that many children dress tightly every day, but they are more likely to get sick. For children, cold and cold can stimulate the body, and heat may damage the body.
It’s okay if it’s just a fever and a small illness. The most feared is to wear too much for the baby. If it’s hot, I won’t say it, and even see the newborn in the news from time to time Died from covering heat. For example, the People's Daily reported on January 6th at the beginning of this year that parents feared that their 104-day-old child would catch a cold, so they let their children sleep on the same bed as their parents, causing the children to never wake up.
In December 2016, a 7-month-old baby boy in Yiwu was covered with a quilt on his head and face when he was sleeping. When his parents noticed that he had no breath or heartbeat.
Every winter is December to March of the following year is the peak period of "blindfold syndrome", that is, the child is heated up, also called muggy syndrome.
蒙被症 Domestic reports The fatality rate is as high as 20% , which means that 100 children with "蒙被 syndrome" will have 20 deaths. And according to research investigations, among the surviving children, 15% has central nervous system sequelae.
So the child is too warm.
But in winter, we made a mistake in keeping our children warm, and it hurt the children a lot, so we must pay attention.
If it is cold in winter, don't do these 5 wrong things to keep your child warm, otherwise it will be extremely harmful to your child.
1. The baby sleeps with his parents, covers a quilt, and even puts the baby in the middle of the two adults
The baby doesn’t know how to be hot, even kicking the quilt. So when sleeping with parents, it is easy to get hot. When Ying's mother slept with the child, I often covered the quilt because I felt cold, but the child didn't cover anything and showed her belly. And I usually touch the child's skin, and cover her little quilt if it feels cold, and leave it alone.
And the previous report of the People’s Daily at the beginning of the year was that the parents were afraid of the children’s cold, but they died of heat.
Baby’s metabolism is fast, so we adults are afraid of heat. In addition, the baby’s weight is small, such as a 100-day baby, which is usually 12 kg. The total body water is not high. When our environment is too hot, the body water It will go through the skin to evaporate, and if there is more evaporation, dehydration will occur. The next step in dehydration is organ failure.
is not so serious, it makes the child's respiratory tract less water, causing mucous membranes to dry, resulting in weakened protection against pathogens, resulting in illness.
Many parents think that children catch cold at night because they did not cover the quilt. In fact, most children are because they cover too much.
Recommendation: Give the child a small bed alone. Parents must remember to let the child sleep on a small quilt when sleeping with the child at night. Pay attention to see if the child sweats a lot, sweats too much and less cover a little.
2. Use electric blankets for children. It is not recommended to use electric blankets for infants, toddlers or children.
Infants and young children’s bodies have more water than adults, but they are smaller. Therefore, water requirements are higher than adults, and water loss is faster than adults.
80% of newborn's weight at birth is water, one month's water accounts for 75% of body weight, and adult water accounts for 60% of body weight.
The main food of a baby every day is milk. Whether it is human milk or milk, more than 80% of the ingredients are water. In other words, the child’s daily milk is actually drinking water, drinking a lot of water every day. Afterwards, part of it is excreted from the body mainly through urination, sweating, and breathing. When the body is not hydrated, it relies on the kidneys to reabsorb the water in the urine.
The electric blanket is not air-permeable, and the temperature is generally higher if the temperature is not well controlled. When the temperature is high, the child will lose moisture from the skin or breath. Especially at night when the child sleeps and does not replenish water in time, and the kidneys are immature, there is no way to recover the water in the urine, so the final result is that the child causes dehydration and high fever.
Even if it is not dehydrated, it will make the child's respiratory barrier capacity decline and cause illness.
In addition, the child may spit up milk or wet the bed at night, which may cause a short circuit of the electric blanket and cause an accident.
Recommendation: Don’t use electric blankets if you have children at home. The children are not as cold as the parents imagine, and the indoor temperature will not be too low.
3. Use warm baby to keep warm, be careful of low temperature scald
Yuru’s family is in Wuhan, and there is no heating equipment, and there is no heating equipment at home. Installed heating. Wuhan was very cold around New Year’s Day last year. Yuru put a warm baby on the back of his pajamas for his 3-year-old son. He stuck it on for three days. He didn’t want to bathe his son on the third day and found that the child’s skin was red and there was Some small blisters blistered, and Yuru took the child to the hospital to find out that the child had a low-temperature scald caused by warming the baby.
Dr. Peng Yizhi from the Burns Department of Southwest Hospital said: "Low temperature scalds" refer to burns caused by skin contact with low-heat objects higher than body temperature for a long time because the base temperature is not high; contact with a temperature of 70°C for one minute, The skin may be burned.
The temperature of the "warm baby" is not very high, but if you do not change the position for a long time, the skin will be burned slowly, and it is not easy to detect. This kind of low-temperature scald appears small in surface area and not serious. It only shows redness, blisters, peeling or whitishness on the skin. However, severe cases with deep wounds may even cause deep tissue necrosis. If not handled properly, they may even cause ulceration. .
Recommendation: Don't warm your baby with a warm water bag while sleeping, just cover your child with a quilt.
4. Dress the child too bloatedly, too much, which will easily make the child sweat too much and inconvenient activities
Children are more afraid of heat than us adults, adults can sit still For an hour, it is generally difficult for children to sit peacefully and move around, which can easily cause sweating.
And sweating is a kind of water loss. Failure to hydrate in time can make your child dehydrated.
And children like to move, we wrap too tightly to prevent children from moving, which is not conducive to the development of children's big movements. We will find that if a child is born in winter, learning to walk is slower when he is one year old because he wears more clothes.
Recommendation: Wear a soft one inside, a warm one in the middle, and a windproof clothes outside. The child’s feet are warm, and the belly is warm.
5. Keep the child in an airtight, warm home all day in winter
Children’s winter needs to be more outdoor activities, winter Children rarely see the sun, and there is a certain amount of ultraviolet rays outdoors that can promote the body to synthesize vitamin DPromote the absorption of calcium,
can also improve the child's tolerance to cold, so that the child can bear the cold more and have better immunity.
In winter, if children are always at home, they just want to read electronic products or read books, and use too much eyes. In winter, children can be exposed to more green plants and reduce the possibility of myopia.
Recommendation: Outdoor activities for 1-2 hours every day in winter, so that children can be exposed to cold air to better adapt to the cold air and prevent myopia.
Summary: Winter is here, the weather is cold, and the child is not afraid of the cold as you think. Don’t keep the child too warm, so as not to get too late.
