Winter goes and spring comes, and the weather gradually turns warmer from cold. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the yang energy of the human body will also adapt to the changes in the season, starting from the internal and external origin in the closed state of winter. However, in spring, the face of a child changes three times a day. The baby has delicate internal organs and poor physical regulation ability. In the early spring season when it is hot and cold, warm and cold, if you take care of your daily life improperly, you will easily get sick. However, when taking care of your baby in spring, mothers often have some misunderstandings.

"Spring cover" is not wearing much
The climate characteristics of spring are that the temperature changes greatly, the temperature rises quickly when there is sunshine at noon. Although the overall temperature is rising, there will be "late spring cold" from time to time. The so-called "spring cover" means that you should add and reduce clothes in time according to the temperature changes. Take off the cotton coat for the baby too early. Once the temperature suddenly drops, the skin cells that have just begun to revive from the "winter hiding" and the open pores will immediately shrink and close, the body temperature regulation will fail, the heat in the body cannot be dissipated, accumulate and cause internal heat, resulting in the decrease in the body's resistance, and external evils will invade, and you will get sick.
However, excessive "covering" will also affect the formation of body tolerance, unable to adapt to weather changes, and may easily cause colds and other diseases.
Spring cover emphasizes "three warmth and two coolness"
"three warmth" refers to warm back, stomach and feet. Keeping the back moderately warm is conducive to the development of yang energy in the baby's body, can prevent diseases and reduce the chance of catching a cold. Keeping abdomen warm can not only maintain the function of the baby's gastrointestinal tract, promote the digestion and absorption of food, but also prevent symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea caused by cold in the stomach. The subcutaneous fat layer of the feet is thin, the insulation performance is poor, and it is far away from the heart, so the blood circulation is poor. The nerve endings on the soles of the feet are very rich and are most sensitive to external cold. After the feet are cold, they will be reflexed through nerve reflexes, causing blood vessels to contract in the upper respiratory tract mucosa, reduce blood flow, reduce disease resistance, and prone to infectious diseases. Therefore, you must pay attention to keeping your feet warm. Only when your baby's little feet are warm can you ensure warmth, resist cold, prevent diseases and keep health. "Erliang" means that the head and heart should be cool. One-third of the heat emitted by the baby through the body surface is diverged from the head. If the head is covered too hot, it can easily cause dizziness, irritability and anxiety. Therefore, in indoor and sunny weather, you must keep your head cool so that your baby can feel refreshed. A cold heart means that the clothes worn by the baby should not be too thick and bloated, so as to avoid stress on the chest and affect normal breathing and heart function.
You can't drink pear water just by getting angry
