is entering winter. In some northern areas, the temperature drops a lot. People put on long trousers and cotton clothes to resist the cold winter. Adults dress more casually, but they are more concerned about the feelings of children .
Every winter will cause a small confrontation: Is it the baby or the parent that feels cold? I often see a lot of old people dress their children in six or seven pieces of clothes together , the children can not move.
Some things that parents can misunderstand in winter
How to judge whether a child is cold in winter, many parents often do 4 things wrong, the baby is uncomfortable and unspeakable.
1) Touching your hands does not mean your child's body temperature
In winter, parents will always judge their child's temperature by touching their hands. This is inaccurate, because the hand has been exposed to and , and it is in the peripheral circulation of the body, which is different from the actual body temperature.
Especially children who often touch cold things in winter, the temperature of their hands will naturally be cooler. At this time, when the parent touches the child's hand will be lower than the body temperature, actually the child is not cold.
2) Sneezing is not necessarily sick.
Parents are most afraid of children sneezing, and the elderly even add clothes to their children when they hear the sneezing sound, saying that the baby is because of the cold wind blowing in .
In fact, when there is dust around or the nasal cavity is a little dry, there are many reasons that can cause the child to sneeze, but a sneeze does not prove that the child has a cold.
3) The elderly feel that the child is cold, but the child is not cold.
This is not to criticize the elderly for not knowing how to take care of the children, but that the blood circulation speed of the elderly is slower than the children , and the children are hot but the elderly feel cold at the same temperature.
If you wear clothes with the warm feeling of the elderly, it will inevitably cause the child to sweat. In winter, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large. If the child sweats and blows into the cold wind, it will be more likely to catch a cold.
4) The quilt cover is too thick
Parents will cover the baby quilt too thick in winter, and they also like the " pressure quilt corner ", and put a layer of clothing or a small quilt on the original quilt to warm the child.
In fact, this method is not conducive to children’s sleep. The baby's quilt is about the same thickness as the parents, and it is uncomfortable to sleep with two layers. At night, you will unconsciously kick off the quilt and catch a cold .
The thick quilt on the body is very heavy for children, and adults will know that it will be difficult to breathe with two layers of quilt.
Want to know whether the child is cold or not, where should I touch it?
★ Medical research on the child’s neck
proves that it is more accurate for the parent to test the temperature behind the child’s neck.
Parents should first pay attention to keeping their hands warm before touching the child’s neck. If the neck is warm and dry , then the child is feeling just right.
If the back of the neck is cold, it means that the child is a little cold and you need to add clothes in time. If has already sweated , it means that the baby is wearing too much or sweating a lot. needs to rest, appropriately lose clothes, and add moisture.
★ Touching the little feet
Parents only pay attention to wearing cotton clothes and vests for their children, but forget the warmth of legs and feet . In fact, after the legs are kept warm, the whole body will not feel too cold.
So mother can touch the baby's feet, if the feet are cold, the baby is already cold. Strengthen the legs to keep warm or change a pair of thick shoes, otherwise the baby will be easy and cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
The correct way of dressing in winter
In winter, the more you wear, the better. It is basically necessary to ensure that it is not cold outside and easy to take off indoors. Parents must master the correct way of dressing.
There are temperature differences in different areas, but the way of dressing is the same, underwear + sweater (sweater) + cotton clothes (coat) , especially cold places can be outside the sweaterAdd a vest and long trousers to choose the thickness according to the temperature.
does not need too many clothes, it is very inconvenient for children to move, and it is easy to cause " muggy syndrome" . Repeated cold, fever, cough, etc., the child suffers too much.
Tuanzi’s mother said:
young parents and old people care about their children’s health, but sometimes they can’t grasp the right way. They need a little bit of exploration on the road with their children. If you find mistakes, you should correct them in time.
