Moms, have you often struggled with how much to wear for your baby?Wear too much and be afraid of heat, and wear less and be afraid of cold. Today, I will reveal to you the secret, how to easily judge whether the thickness of the child's clothes is appropriate, so that our little baby is comfortable and healthy!
Touching hands and feet to judge
Many mothers like to judge whether their babies are cold or hot by touching their hands and feet, but this method is not accurate. Because babies have poor peripheral circulation in their hands and feet, they tend to be cold, which does not mean that they feel cold overall.
Correct method: Touch the back of the neck
To accurately tell if your baby is hot or cold, you should touch the back of their neck. If the back of the neck is warm, it means that the dress is appropriate;The back of the neck is cold, indicating that there are fewer clothes;If you sweat on the back of your neck, you wear too much.
Myth 1: It's better to wear more than less
Many mothers think that babies are easy to catch a cold, so they are used to wearing more for them. But in fact, overdressing may cause the baby to sweat excessively, clogged pores, and even cause prickly heat, eczema and other problems.
Myth 2: If the elderly feel cold, the child must be cold
The elderly have a slower metabolism and are prone to feeling cold, but this does not mean that children are also cold. Children have a strong metabolism and weak body temperature regulation, so they need to add or remove clothing appropriately according to their specific situation.
Onion-style dressing
It is recommended that mothers adopt the "onion-style" dressing method, that is, the inner layer of breathable and sweat-absorbing cotton clothing, the middle layer of warm clothing, and the outer layer of windproof and waterproof coats. This makes it easy to add or remove clothes at any time depending on the weather and your baby's condition.
Pay attention to the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor
When entering and exiting indoors and outdoors, adjust your baby's clothes in time according to the temperature difference. When moving from warm indoors to cold outdoors, add clothing in time;When entering the house from the outside, it is necessary to reduce clothing appropriately to avoid excessive sweating of the baby.
Shop for the right clothes
It's also important to choose the right clothing for your baby. Choose soft, breathable, sweat-wicking cotton clothing and avoid synthetic fabrics that are rough and non-breathable. At the same time, pay attention to the tightness of the clothing, not too tight or too loose.
Watch your baby react
It is they who know the baby's physical condition best. Closely observe the baby's reaction, if the baby has irritability, crying, redness or paleness and other abnormal manifestations, it may be caused by inappropriate dressing, and it should be adjusted in time.
