I am a doctor and a father-the experience in "Walking" is about choosing the right throne, and the baby can walk freely! If you want to take your baby out, you should prepare car seats, luggage case, sun protection, mosquito prevention, dry hand washing, going out with straps, nursing back towels and so on, so as not to be in a hurry! This article interviewed a pediatrician in Dr. J.R.Chen, who is also the father of twin babies. In addition to providing professional advice, there are practical parents to share. The baby goes out to 3 thrones.

Whether riding or walking, it is very important to take your baby out safely, smoothly and conveniently! What means of transportation does the baby have when going out? What are the precautions?

Throne 1, car safety seat

Safety is the first key to buying a car seat. Dr. J.R.Chen, dean of Dr. J.R.Chen Parent-child Clinic and part-time attending physician of Taipei Rongzong Children's Infectious Diseases Department, pointed out that in addition to paying attention to whether there is a safety certification mark, we can also refer to the relatively stricter safety certification in Germany, the United States, Japan and Europe, and then make a choice according to the baby's age, body shape and car condition.

Meet the applicable age stage

The types and applicable ages of steam seats in the market are different, so parents should confirm them carefully when buying them.

Seat belts should not be fastened too loosely.

Some parents think that if the seat belt is fastened too tightly, the baby will feel uncomfortable, but if the seat belt is fastened too loosely, it will not only fail to protect the baby, but will put the baby in danger, so remember not to fasten the seat belt too loosely, and make sure that the seat belt crosses the shoulders and chest to avoid bypassing the baby's neck or other places.

Don't wear heavy clothes.

In the cold winter, parents will put warm clothes on their babies, but please remember to take off your thick coat before taking the steam seat. Dr. Dr. J.R.Chen mentioned that he used to let his baby sit on a steam seat in a thick coat, but he didn't expect the baby to almost slip off the seat, which was really dangerous. If parents are worried that their baby will catch cold, they should fasten their seat belts first, and then cover them with a coat or quilt.

The baby just doesn't want to sit in the steam seat?

As long as the baby is put on the steam seat, it begins to cry, which is a problem encountered by many parents. Dr. Dr. J.R.Chen thinks it is very important to get into the habit of sitting in a steam chair from an early age. Don't wait until the baby 1 year old to start training the baby to sit in the steam seat by himself. In addition, the material of the steam seat may also be one of the keys. Steam seats with poor air permeability may make your baby's back sweltering and sweating. Of course, he doesn't like to sit in the steam seat, so he should pay special attention when buying.

I am a doctor and a father-the experience in "Walking" is about choosing the right throne, and the baby can walk freely! Throne 2, stroller

There are many kinds of baby strollers on the market, and the choice is nothing more than considering the comfort and convenience of operation. Dr. Dr. J.R.Chen pointed out that trolleys with large wheels are usually relatively heavy, but babies feel more comfortable; Luggage case with small wheels is relatively light, and even mommy can operate it with one hand, but the disadvantage is that the riding experience may be poor.

The size of the cart itself depends on the road sections that parents usually pass. If you have to walk on the sidewalk, choose a lighter trolley. For example, Dr. Dr. J.R.Chen himself pushes a cart when walking in the suburbs, and pushes a car when walking in the city.

In addition, Dr. Dr. J.R.Chen also mentioned that, like his parents are twins or multiple births, trolleys are divided into two-person (multi-person) trolleys side by side, which are easy to move on narrow roads, but heavy; Side by side trolleys are relatively difficult to move because they are too wide. However, at present, there are side-by-side carts that can be disassembled into two single carts, which can be freely disassembled in areas with difficult movement or by elevator, and are provided for parents of multiple births as a reference.

Avoid hanging too many things.

Some parents will hang their big bags and small bags on the cart when using them, but if there are too many things hanging on the cart, it is easy to cause the cart to be top-heavy and unstable or overturned.

Lock and fix the cart at any time.

When parking, remember to lock and fix the trolley, so as to avoid the uneven road surface, the trolley accidentally slides down, and the baby may fall out of the car, causing unnecessary accidents.

Throne 3, shoulder strap, nursing back towel

Compared with a stroller, when using a strap or a back towel, the hands are more free, and there is no need to let the baby move around when breastfeeding. Dr. Dr. J.R.Chen suggested that the principle of selection should be breathable, supportive and comfortable to wear, and reminded the following points:

Do not use it for a long time.

Dr. Dr. J.R.Chen said that parents are not advised to use it for a long time, no matter whether it is a strap or a scarf, especially when the postpartum mother carries heavy objects in the early stage. If it is used for a long time, it will be a great burden. Moreover, the baby's spine is not mature enough to stay in the soft back towel for a long time. If you have to use it, it is best to lie flat and have a hard board to support it.

Be careful when you bend over.

Although you can move freely with the strap, please remember that the strap and the back towel are only fixed back and forth, and it is relatively unsafe to go up and down. Don't think that children will not fall out when they are tied to their bodies, especially when they bend over!

I am a doctor and a father-the experience in "Walking" is about choosing the right throne, and the baby can walk freely! The body is well protected and the skin is also very important!

When the baby goes out, in addition to giving his body to the means of transportation for protection, sunshine, mosquitoes and bacteria will also trouble the baby. What should I do at this time?

Sun protection: physical sun protection is the most reassuring.

The sun is fierce, especially the ultraviolet rays in summer make parents afraid. With regard to sun protection, Dr. Dr. J.R.Chen's own baby mainly uses physical sun protection, such as using long-sleeved clothes or hats and umbrellas as shelter, so as to avoid going out to the sun from 10 to 2 pm in the morning when the ultraviolet rays are strongest.

If you must use sunscreen products, Dr. Dr. J.R.Chen reminds parents to carefully check the ingredients of the products or ask professionals. Sunscreen products with fewer additives are more effective. Give your baby an allergy test before using it. Apply a local block to the cheek and a thinner part of the body skin for testing. If there is no allergic reaction, use it again.

Mosquito prevention: Look at the bottle size carefully.

Taiwan Province province is sultry and humid in summer, and mosquitoes are everywhere, especially like to bite babies with high body temperature. It always makes babies have "red bean ice" with full hands and legs! Many parents mistakenly believe that DEET is very toxic. In fact, DEET is a very effective and safe mosquito repellent. The American Academy of Pediatrics allows 65,438+00 ~ 65,438+05% DEET to be used directly in children, but it is not recommended for infants under 2 months old, and it should not be used daily, no more than 3 times a day, and should not be used on clothes as far as possible.

The doctor reminded parents that when purchasing anti-mosquito products, they should see clearly whether the product name is the environmental protection name or the "Wei" name of the department. The former is an anti-mosquito product for the environment and cannot be sprayed on them. The latter can be sprayed on human skin. However, according to Dr. Dr. J.R.Chen, at present, no research has pointed out that anti-mosquito products are completely harmless to babies, so it is better to use physical means such as clothes and mosquito nets as far as possible, which can not only prevent sun exposure but also avoid mosquitoes, killing two birds with one stone!

Dry hand washing: it is inconvenient to go out and use.

Dr Dr. J.R.Chen said that the ingredient of dry hand washing is alcohol, which can't kill all bacteria. Hand washing is the best way to clean! If it is inconvenient to go out, it is not safe to choose products certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Please also see the expiration date of the product. Remember not to put the cart before the horse. Wash your hands where you can! When using dry hand washing, parents should be careful not to spray it everywhere, and spray it wherever the baby touches it. Frequent use of dry hand washing can not only effectively sterilize, but also the baby may inhale or eat by mistake, which is not safe for the baby!
