Raising a baby is a process of constantly escalating and fighting monsters, parents feel a headache every season, low temperature, various viruses attack, baby self-care is weak and loves to be sick, how to make the baby survive the winter has become the primary concern of parents.
Parents are particularly concerned about their children's health, but some practices often undermine children's ability to resist the virus
1. Excessive disinfection
The human immune system needs to be trained, and if it is over-sterilized, so that the baby does not have the opportunity to come into contact with microorganisms, the immune system will not be trained. Similar to our body, "soldiers" also recognize these microorganisms through physical exposure to a small number of microorganisms that do not cause disease, and determine which ones are beneficial and which are harmful.
When the body comes into contact with a large number of harmful microorganisms, these "soldiers" can fight immediately. If parents are over-disinfected, the children's living environment is too clean, and these "soldiers" in the body are not exercised, they will lose their combat effectiveness and will not be able to protect their children.
2. Abuse of antibiotics
When the baby is sick, it is normal for parents to be anxious. However, parents must reasonably judge whether the baby needs to take antibiotics to ** the disease. When the baby is infected by bacteria and the body's immunity cannot cope with it, antibiotics can effectively kill the bacteria. If the infection is only a viral one, parents are not recommended to use antibiotics.
3. If you are sick, you should cover it
Winter is a high incidence of eczema, flu, diarrhea, and allergic diseases. Parents especially like to add more clothes and covers for the baby before and after the baby is sick to prevent the baby from getting sick again, and blindly covering sweat may cause heat syndrome, which is not conducive to the baby's recovery.
4. Close the doors and windows when cooling
After winter, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and many parents are worried that the baby will be cold, and the daily doors and windows are closed to prevent a little cold air from running in. However, if you live in a confined space for a long time, the air will become more and more turbid, and the density of harmful bacteria will increase, which will have an adverse effect on the baby's respiratory system.
Regulates immune balance and maintains a healthy state
Immunity is balanced, just like drinking water, not more is better. For babies, the immunity is too strong, and it is easy to suffer from autoimmune diseases such as lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid.
Parents can only use scientific and reasonable methods to maintain immunity in a healthy and balanced state. After answering the above misunderstandings one by one, specific and detailed practices are given in terms of diet, sleep, daily care, etc., and parents should take a small notebook to remember!
1. Get more sun
Exposure to the sun is the most cost-effective way to balance the body's immunity. It is best to keep in the sun for about half an hour every morning or evening. If it is on an indoor balcony, you should pay attention to open the window and do not let the baby bask in the sun through the glass. Spending time in the sun can help replenish vitamin D and calcium, as well as reduce the risk of respiratory diseases and influenza viruses.
2. Eat a balanced diet
For babies under 6 months of age, exclusive breastfeeding is advocated. Breast milk, especially colostrum, contains a lot of immune substances that can boost the child's immunity.
6 Infants and young children aged 24 months are encouraged to continue breastfeeding while scientifically adding complementary foods. At the same time, increase the intake of nutrient-rich complementary foods. When babies and toddlers can eat complementary foods, provide them with foods rich in iron and zinc.
Throughout the life cycle, follow a healthy dietary pattern to meet nutritional needs. On the premise of ensuring food diversity, reduce the intake of foods and beverages with high saturated fatty acids and sodium content for your baby.
3. Get enough sleep
Although articles on major platforms are telling mothers to let their children arrange their sleep time reasonably, they don't know the specific time when babies of different ages sleep every day, so hurry up and take a small notebook to remember!
Newborns are recommended to sleep for 18 hours a day.
Babies around 1 year old are recommended to sleep for 12-14 hours.
Preschoolers are recommended to sleep for 10 hours a day.
Babies after the age of 3 are recommended to go to bed before 9 p.m. every night.
4. Supplement exogenous nutritional supplements
Yeast - dextran + elderberry powder + vitamin C, which can improve children's immunity and reduce the incidence of colds and other symptoms. It helps to block the transmission of the virus and reduce the risk of respiratory infection, while also interfering with the replication of the virus and helping to shorten the duration of the cold. At the time of high incidence of influenza, activate the child's internal protection, so that prevention and maintenance are correct, and the child is healthy and less sick.
Yeast-dextran + elderberry powder + vitamin C can not only strengthen human immunity, but also strengthen the killing power of cells, protect the cell membrane of leukocytes from being oxidized, strengthen the phagocytosis and killing ability of leukocytes, promote antibody synthesis, improve the body's disease resistance, inhibit viral replication and reduce viral activity. Promote cold recovery and improve respiratory symptoms during colds.
Above, knock on the blackboard to summarize the key points, scientifically improve immunity = diet + sleep + daily care combined.
The baby's immune system is constantly improved by being exercised in the fight against bacteria and viruses again and again. What parents can do is to use a scientific and reasonable way to help the baby's immune system continue to build and improve in the process of growth and development.
