Many new parents often have questions about how much clothes should the baby wear, how to judge the baby's warmth and coldness, and then add or reduce clothes.
It is inaccurate to judge whether the baby is cold or not, and only touches the warmth of his hands and feet, because the heart strength of a newborn baby is relatively weak. After each pumping blood, there is less blood to reach the nerves at the end of . The blood circulation system at the end of the hands and feet has not yet developed completely, so many times when the clothes are suitable or even worn more, the hands and feet are also cold.
If parents only use the temperature of touching the baby’s hands and feet to wear more clothes, it will be detrimental to the baby’s own body temperature regulation, thus causing the baby to get sick.
So what method is used to judge the baby's warmth and coldness: touch the baby's back and back
Parents can touch the baby's back neck and upper vest by touching the baby's back neck and upper vest. Parents can judge the baby's warmth and coldness based on the touch.
1. If the baby's skin is touched, it means that the baby is wearing just right and there is no need to add or remove clothes.
2. If the baby's skin is hot and sweating, it means that the baby is hot and needs to reduce clothing.
3. If the baby's skin is cold when touched, it means the baby is a little cold and needs to add clothes to the baby.
Dressing babies is the most judged thing for parents. If they wear too much, they are afraid of being hot and less. If they wear less, they are afraid of being cold. Appropriate clothes are always a problem. Also, because of the different individual children, the methods of dressing are also different.
If you wear too much for your baby, it will also lead to many problems
1. Autumn and winter are the peak season for babies to get sick. Because babies are less able to adapt to temperature changes than adults. The resistance and immunity are also relatively poor, and the ability to receive stimulation of cold air is poor, so it is easy to catch a cold when the weather gets cold. However, this ability to adapt to temperature regulation can be improved through exercise, thereby enhancing the baby's resistance. Therefore, when the weather starts to get colder, don’t rush to put thick clothes on your baby immediately to keep warm. You should give the baby the opportunity to get in touch with the cold air in a timely manner to exercise your baby’s adaptability and resistance in cold environments. It helps the baby metabolizes and generates calories, making the baby more relaxed in responding to climate change.
2. May cause heat syndrome. Many parents will cover their babies tightly when their babies are sick, fever or the weather turns cold. In fact, this will not only prevent the baby from getting better, but will also cause the baby to be unable to dissipate the heat generated by the body. The high heat in the body cannot be dissipated, which will make the baby even more uncomfortable. In addition, a lot of sweating in a short period of time may also lead to dehydration, shock, and other conditions.
3. Wearing too much is not good for the baby's growth and development. If you wear too thickly in autumn and winter, it will affect the movement of the baby's limbs, which will make the baby's exercise and development lag behind his peers.
4. Frequently putting too much clothes on your baby will also cause your baby to suffer from skin diseases, such as prickly heat , folliculitis , etc.
So how should I wear clothes for my baby after the weather turns cold?
Because each child’s physical development is individually different, the specific judgments on cold and warm will also be different. The "neck and back touch" method is a more accurate way to judge children's warmth and coldness.
The baby is lukewarm and warm, of course, the most comfortable number of clothes to wear. For babies who can’t walk, because they have low metabolism and high activity, their body temperature will be lower than that of adults, so they can just wear one more piece than adults. If it is a baby who can walk and run, then you can wear the same thickness as adults, and even one piece less than parents. Parents need to judge the specific situation of their own children.
