The first thing a newborn needs to adapt to when he comes to the world is temperature. After all, when I am in my mother's belly, I don't have to worry about these things, but grow up at a relatively constant temperature. The temperature in this season is always unimaginable, sometimes cold and sometimes hot. So how much should the room temperature be maintained after the baby is born?
First, how much room temperature should the newborn keep?
The room temperature of newborns should be kept at 22℃-26℃.
According to what is mentioned above, the room temperature is best controlled at around 24℃. Under this temperature control, the baby can just wear a thin cotton coat. If the temperature is too high, it may cause the newborn's body temperature to rise and a fever occurs.
Second, how to create a comfortable environment for your baby?
creates a comfortable environment for the baby, and it takes effort to achieve temperature and humidity. Mothers need to pay attention to the following aspects:
1, heating, stove, heater: In the north or winter, heating, stoves, etc. are used to keep heating obvious, but the indoor ventilation must be maintained.
2. Window: Keep ventilated. Fresh air and sunlight are crucial to the health of newborns. Open the windows regularly every day, just avoid convective wind . When the weather is good, you should also carry your baby to outdoor activities. Try not to pollute the room with flue gas and coal gas, otherwise it will easily cause respiratory diseases in newborns.
3. Air conditioner: Commonly used air conditioners, which can adjust the temperature as needed. When the ambient temperature rises, the body temperature of the newborn will also rise. Therefore, the room temperature of newborns born in summer should also be controlled at 20℃-22℃. Usually, air conditioners, electric fans and other methods can be used, but the wind should be avoided blowing the newborn directly. It is more appropriate to use a breeze ceiling fan.
4, Air Humidifier : No matter which method is used to keep warm, the air will dry. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a certain humidity, generally around 50%. If you use air humidifier at home, in order to prevent the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the water and pollute the air, mothers should pay attention to changing the water every day, and it is best to inject purified water or cold boiled water.
3. How to keep newborns warm?
1, baby's quilt
, baby's clothes and quilts are best made of new cotton and soft and comfortable cotton cloth to ensure good warmth.
2. Ambient temperature
In the cold winter, the room temperature of the newborn should generally be maintained at 20-24℃. It is relatively dry in autumn and winter, so you should also pay attention to the indoor humidity, which should generally be kept at around 50%. Humidifiers can be used to increase indoor humidity.
3. Baby changing diapers
Newborns urinate very frequently and change diapers more often. Since the temperature of the diaper is lower than the baby's abdomen, be careful not to put the diaper on the baby's abdomen to avoid cold on the abdomen. If possible, you can preheat the diapers on the heating before replacing them.
4. Use sleeping bag
. Babies are more active when they sleep at night. Parents should check at any time, be careful not to let the baby's head and face turn under the quilt, which may cause suffocation. Using a sleeping bag to keep warm can also solve this problem very well.
5. Baby bath
. Do not have air convection around when bathing. It is best to have air convection above 24℃. Take a bath 2 hours after feeding to avoid breast leakage.
