It is cold in autumn and winter, and it is easy for parents to fall into several misunderstandings when dressing their babies, but it may hurt their children.

Nowadays, the weather is getting colder and colder. I believe that many parents who are afraid of their children catching a cold have already put on thermal underwear and wrapped their children in several thick coats. But is this really good?

As a layer of cloth close to our body, its main function is to absorb sweat and keep our skin dry and comfortable. Sometimes it can help us resist the discomfort caused by the second dress.

Most thermal underwear is uncomfortable to wear and has poor air permeability because of material and technology problems, so parents must give priority to sweat absorption, exhaust and comfort when choosing underwear for their children.

1, causing skin problems.

2, causing children to catch a cold

If the thermal underwear can't absorb the sweat on the child in time, and then it is blown by the cold wind, it is easy to absorb the heat in the child's body, leading to a cold.

1, the method of wrapping into a ball

Some parents, especially grandparents, are afraid that their children will freeze in winter and put on six or seven thick clothes at a time, which looks like a big zongzi from a distance.

For example, a grandmother known by Shangguan Ma dressed her granddaughter in eight clothes, four sweaters and a down jacket. The children cried with sweat, but grandma would rather use a sweat towel inside than cut down on clothes.

As we all know, children who sweat for a long time may have high fever, lack of oxygen, dehydration and coma. Parents must not dress him too much.

2, 26 dressing method

This method is said to have been created by an old Chinese doctor at the TV station. He always applied it to his children and later shared it with everyone.

Moreover, the temperature in the north may be MINUS ten degrees. According to this algorithm, you have to wear more than a dozen clothes.

Babies should wear more clothes than adults in winter.

This method is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, but there is no specific experiment to support it, and the climate in the United States is very different from that in China. This method may not be suitable for our children.

1, according to the child's own perception of temperature, to increase or decrease the amount of clothes.

Everyone feels different about the temperature. Fat people may be more cold-resistant, so parents should listen to their children's opinions when dressing them to make them feel more comfortable.

For children who don't cooperate or express their feelings about the temperature, parents can touch the child's back to determine the child's warmth and coldness.

2. Onion seasoning method

This is also a particularly suitable way to dress children. This method advocates wearing many thin clothes for children. When the child's body temperature and body temperature change, parents can add or subtract clothes for him conveniently and timely.

The onion dressing method divides the clothes worn by children into three parts:

Even if you dress a child, you should consider his feelings. Parents should not think that he is cold, so it is very important to communicate with their children and listen to their opinions.
