When the cold winter comes, the heating equipment such as water bags, electric blankets, and small sun are ready to be in place. But, do you know? These things that make people feel warm and comfortable can also become "weapons" to hurt children if they are used improperly.
Hot water bag & warm baby, be careful of "low temperature scalds"
Some parents will worry about their children being cold. In addition to wrapping the three layers inside and outside of the child, they will also use various "heating" magical tools, of course, hot water bags, warm baby, etc.
However, if these devices are used improperly, they will cause low-temperature scalding to the child. The so-called low-temperature scald is the scald caused by the human body's long-term contact with low-temperature items above 45℃.
Because the temperature is not high, it is exposed to low-heat objects for a long time, so that the sensory nerve endings of the skin adapt to this temperature without feeling pain. This is like boiling a frog in warm water. After a long time, the heat energy accumulates to a certain extent and will be transmitted deep into the skin, causing skin damage. When erythema, edema, bubbles, peeling and other phenomena appear on the surface of your skin, it means that the skin has been seriously damaged.
Most of the warm babies we use will reach 55 ℃, and the heating time can last for 10 hours, which has long exceeded the minimum standard for low-temperature scalding in the human body. Therefore, when using a baby warmer, you must use it across the clothes and try not to use it for the child. There is also the same part that should not last more than 2 hours.
In addition to the popular hot product of Hot Baby, it also has a water heating bag. Whether it is water-filled or charged, you must pay attention to safety when using it. Never sleep with a warm water bag. It is recommended to put it in the quilt in advance before going to bed and take it out when sleeping.
electric blanket, be careful that the child suffers from " dehydration hot ", which can be serious and fatal!
The high temperature of the electric blanket will cause the capillaries of infants and young children to expand. In addition, the baby's water metabolism speed is higher than that of adults. In this way, the electric blanket will be used for a long time, which will easily lead to the baby's moisture flow and even dehydration, causing "dehydration heat".
If the moisture replenishment is not timely, the baby may induce a series of risks due to dehydration. Take "dehydration fever" as an example. If it is not treated in time, it may endanger the child's life.
If a baby is in bed, it is easy to wet the bed. The electric blanket may be short-circuited when exposed to water. At the very least, it will damage the electric blanket, and at the worst, it will be electric shock that endangeres life. Therefore, from a safety perspective, it is best not to use it for your baby.
If you really want to use it for your child, you can turn on the electric blanket to heat the quilt one or two hours before going to bed. You can stop heating when you are ready to go to bed. Never be greedy for warmth, and sleep until dawn all night on the power supply to avoid danger.
Regarding the use of electric blankets, the body should not contact the electric blanket directly. It is best to lay a thin layer of mattress or bed sheet on it to prevent burns due to excessive temperature. If the electric blanket exceeds its service life (within 5 years), you must be thrown away decisively to avoid safety hazards.
small sun, safety hazards, large
"little sun" starts to release heat as soon as it is plugged in, and it quickly reaches high temperature in a short time, and the closer the distance, the higher the temperature. In addition, because of its cost-effective and convenient storage, it has become the first choice for many people in winter.
Although convenient, there are many dangers: for example, the surface temperature of the small sun is very high, and the scorching iron wire inside it has strong lethality! Adults will burn when touched, let alone children. Think about how terrible it would be for a child to jump up and down the room and then run into the little sun.
In addition, the child's retina is not mature, and if you keep staring at the sun because of curiosity, it will also affect the child's vision. In addition, the child is young and cannot express it in time when it is hot or hot. This will easily cause low-temperature scalds.
If water splashes in, it may cause explosion or short circuit of the small sun; some families will be accustomed to covering clothes and heating on the small sun, which can easily cause fires. So, a family with children, the little sun may not be an ideal choice.
If it is too cold and there is no air conditioner, and you need to use the small sun to keep warm, then you must pay attention to the following points:
1. Pay attention to buying regular products;
2. When using it, adults must be present to keep a safe distance from the small sun;
3. Do not cover flammable materials on the small sun, such as clothes, curtains, mattresses, etc. (remember to stay away from the lighter!) to avoid causing fires and other accidents;
4. Do not use it in a dark and humid environment, so as not to become a "warm killer"!
In short, the colder the weather in winter, the more you need to pay attention to safety. When heating, you must buy qualified and standardized products. Although heating equipment such as baby heating, water bags, electric blankets, etc. are good, they cannot be used all night, and safety is the first priority.
