Even though it is long overdue, summer is still here, and the weather is getting hotter. Even if you are indoors, you are still sweating even if you are not moving around. The more your baby moves, the more he sweats, let alone outdoors. Because are afraid of heat, many babies don't want to wear shoes or socks, so they run around barefoot. The baby's white and tender feet running around on the floor are very cute and very conspicuous. .
Lazy Mom thinks this is a normal phenomenon. Sometimes when the weather is too hot, I will walk around the house without shoes, greedily enjoying the coolness.
But usually at this time, there will be some blocking voices, saying that the baby is small, the floor is too cold , the baby should wear socks to prevent cold air from invading , especially if the air conditioner is turned on, there will be more on the floor. The baby is more likely to catch cold due to the coolness. Wearing socks for your baby can also effectively protect your baby's feet, preventing them from getting hurt when crawling or walking.
In fact, it is correct to say this. As the old saying goes: the wind comes in from the back of the neck, and the cold comes from the feet . The nerve center of the baby's body temperature regulation is imperfect and cannot self-regulate well. It is easily affected by the external temperature . The baby's feet should be kept warm.
You are right, but in the eyes of many younger generation parents, there are more benefits to babies not wearing socks.
① Bare feet can cool down the body
The basal body temperature of babies is higher than that of adults, and their metabolism is faster than that of adults. Babies will feel hot more easily than adults . When the weather is hot, we also need to let babies cool down. Using , letting the baby expose his little feet is a good way to dissipate heat.
This is because there are three parts of our body that are very suitable for cooling down, namely head, hands and feet. The capillaries in these three parts are very rich. When the weather is hot, just expose these parts and will flow. The air can take away the heat from the capillaries in the area and achieve cooling effect.
So when the weather is hot, it is indeed a good way to cool down if the baby does not wear socks and exposes his little feet. On the contrary, if the weather is hot and the baby has to wear socks, if the baby's feet are sweaty, it will easily arouse the interest of bacteria.
If we feel hot when sleeping, or the baby always pushes on the quilt when sleeping, but does not feel the need to turn on the fan or air conditioner, we can also try to extend the feet outside the quilt to , and it will not be so hot immediately. It’s hot and the baby sleeps peacefully.
② Exercise the baby's balance ability and help the baby learn to walk quickly.
When the baby puts on socks and walks, there is a layer of "resistance" between the skin on the feet and the floor, so the touch is not very good. When the baby takes off the socks, the skin on the feet is in direct contact with the floor, and the adsorption capacity is different. It will be easier for the baby to control the movements of the feet, exercise the baby's balance ability, and also help the baby learn to crawl or walk. ,. The principle of
is as inconvenient as wearing gloves when working, but it feels completely different after taking off the gloves.
③ Exercise the baby's sensory integration ability
Let the baby walk barefoot, which can well exercise the strength of the baby's foot muscles . Full contact between the foot plate and the ground can stimulate the touch of the baby's soles, including the temperature of the soles and the hardness of the floor. Wait for , feel the different sensations of the little feet on different things, and then react. exercises the baby's sensory integration ability.
④ Stimulate the baby's brain development
The baby's nervous system has not yet been fully developed and is in a period of rapid development. Babies often walking barefoot can stimulate the peripheral nerves under the baby's feet, stimulate the baby's neurological development and promote the baby's development. Brain development.
⑤ Improve the baby's body resistance
It is said that the soles of the feet are the place with the most acupuncture points. Walking barefoot can more effectively stimulate the acupuncture points under the baby's feet, and appropriate stimulation can speed up the baby's blood circulation and metabolism. disease resistance and improve the baby's body's resistance.
As I write this, I suddenly remembered that my friend’s children used to have very poor health and often got sick. Later, I went to see a doctor who said he was a very good doctor. At that time, the doctor did not prescribe any medicine, but just asked my friend to take the children to play outdoors more often. Running on your feet, playing in the sand, and playing in the soil is said to absorb the "earth energy". It's really amazing. The child's physical condition is getting better and better, and even his academic performance has kept up.
Comparing babies who never go barefoot with babies who go barefoot, you will find over time that babies who often don't wear socks seem to be smarter, more agile in movement, and healthier.
Therefore, there is really no need to wear socks for the baby all the time. As long as it is not very cold, let the baby have bare feet and have a chance to stretch. No wonder some babies don't like to wear socks, and even if they wear them, they will pull them off by themselves.
However, no matter how many benefits there are to babies not wearing socks, they still have to wear them when it is time to wear them. For example, when the ground is uneven, the weather is cold, or the baby is unwell, the feet can dissipate heat, but when the weather is cold or the climate changes, it is easy for the baby to catch cold, causing the baby to get sick. When this happens, you need to help the baby put on socks. , keep your baby's little feet warm and also protect your baby's little feet.
When choosing socks for your baby, please pay attention to:
① It is best to use pure cotton , which is skin-friendly, breathable and soft, and the baby will not feel restricted when wearing it.
② Wear thick cotton socks in winter. In summer, help your baby choose thin ones to prevent the baby's feet from sweating and not being breathable, which can lead to the growth of bacteria.
③ Socks should be elastic to avoid falling off frequently, but they should not be too tight. Too tight will affect the blood circulation of the baby's feet.
④ Clean and disinfect socks after buying them, and check the threads inside before wearing them to avoid threads that are too long and entangle your baby's toes.
⑤The length of baby socks does not need to be too long. The normal length of can be , which is convenient for babies who don’t like to wear socks to practice taking off socks. After all, this is also a way for babies to become smarter.
Of course, if the baby is not obsessed with taking off his socks, parents can help the baby wear slightly longer socks to prevent mosquito bites. Especially when going out in the summer, mosquitoes like to bite the baby the most.

Since there are so many benefits of adding socks to the baby, parents should not be too obsessed with whether the baby wears socks. Instead, they should help the baby take off the socks so that the baby can feel the feeling of not wearing socks. charm. The
