is now in the alternation of summer and autumn, and the temperature is getting lower and lower. Babies often experience runny noses and coughs, which is particularly prone to illness. How can we better protect our baby during the season change? What should we pay attention to? As the seasons change begin, new parents are starting to get anxious again, and the topic of "How to take care of babies when they are sick when they change seasons" has become an "absolute hot topic". Every autumn season changes, it is a "big difficulty". Every time when you go to the pediatric outpatient clinic at this stage, there are a bunch of children who are sick, with colds, fevers, and diarrhea taking turns to go on, the children cry and their parents are exhausted physically and mentally.
Immunity can protect our body from being attacked by most bacteria, help clean up the aging, damaged, and mutational self-cells in the body, and maintain the physiological balance of the body. However, this ability is not innate, but is continuously established and consolidated with acquired growth. However, the newborn's ability to create new immunity is limited. Every time he is attacked by a pathogen, the immunity given by the mother is consumed. In about 6-8 months, the gift is gone. To make your baby immune, you need to improve your baby's physical fitness.
The immunity of infants and young children has not yet been perfected and is prone to illness. During the season change, external factors such as large temperature difference between day and night, easy growth of bacteria and viruses, and flying pollen seeds can easily amplify the problem that infants and young children are prone to illness. Generally, babies have diseases with more problems, including influenza , gastrointestinal diseases, skin diseases, etc.
When these problems occur, don't be too anxious. Let your children come into contact with other children, dust and sand as soon as possible. It should be noted that in the autumn and winter seasons where influenza virus and rotavirus are rampant, it is not recommended to take your babies to supermarkets, vegetable markets, hospitals and other places where the air is not circulating and crowded.
The important point in preventing baby's seasonal disease is to get the rotavirus vaccine and flu vaccine. Maintain good hygiene habits, especially to wash your hands well. Washing your hands well can greatly reduce the ratio of colds and diarrhea in your baby. It is not only the children who need to wash their hands well, but also adults should wash their hands well. Before, before, after urinating, after urinating, before and after feeding, and clean the baby's pots, bowls, spoons, and cooking machines that eat complementary foods.
Do not give your baby leftovers, eat and cook them immediately, do not feed them to the child after chewing them, and do not directly touch the baby's food with your mouth and tongue to try the temperature and saltiness. A balanced and reasonable diet is an important factor affecting immunity. In addition, pay more attention to ventilation at home or use air purifier .
Raising a baby is not easy. I hope every novice parents can master more parenting knowledge so that they can avoid panic when encountering problems. I hope every baby can grow up healthy.
