1. It's cold and cold weather prevention
The weather changes abnormally, hot and cold, parents must check the weather forecast every day, pay attention to the weather changes, especially on the road in the morning and evening, whether driving or walking, please prepare in advance Keep children’s clothing warm to prevent babies from catching cold and catching a cold. Even if the temperature drops suddenly, don't add too much clothing to the children. On the issue of how much to wear, we usually think that "children wear more clothes than adults" is actually a misunderstanding. Children over three years old can already express their own warmth and coldness. As long as the child does not feel cold, parents do not need to wear more clothes for the child. Can wear as many as adults, and sometimes even one less than adults. The first is because there are many activities in kindergartens, and the children follow the teacher to move their feet, not only will they not be cold, but will be a little hot; the second is to properly exercise the children's ability to keep out of the cold and enhance the children's physical fitness. Doctor
suggested that there are two ways to judge whether the child is wearing enough clothes: 1. Touch the collarbone 2. Touch the back. If the collarbone is warm, it means that the clothes are not too much; if there is sweat on the back, even the clothes are already wet, obviously the child needs to lose clothes in time.
