The weather is too hot, how to take care of your baby

Among the four seasons of the year, the most difficult one is summer. The hot summer and the sultry weather are so hot that I don’t know how to live without air conditioning. Of course, mothers with babies at home have to think more. The hot weather in summer will cause babies to have many uncomfortable reactions, such as heatstroke, eczema, loss of appetite, colds, etc. Therefore, mothers should take precautions and learn some summer baby care knowledge early so that their babies will be healthier.

This article summarizes some mothers’ past experience sharing, hoping to help babies spend a comfortable and comfortable summer.

1. Deal with sweat stains on the baby in time

Netizen "Xiaoli" said that the baby is one and a half years old, and this is the second summer that the baby is about to usher in. During the hottest period last year, due to insufficient voltage in the community and the frequent "strike" of the air conditioner, the baby sweated particularly hard, and the sweat stains on the baby's body had to be wiped almost every half hour. Even so, the baby's neck and buttocks were still red with sweat. Later, the baby's skin was cracked, and Xiaoli felt extremely distressed. Finally, I had to take the baby to see a doctor. The doctor said that this was caused by improper care. Even if the mother wiped the baby's sweat stains, some sweat stains still remained in the baby's skin folds because the mother did not clean them thoroughly enough. Over time, The baby's skin will become inflamed and even ulcerated.

Recommendation: Mothers should pay more attention when dealing with sweat stains on their babies. Any wrinkles on their babies must be carefully wiped. If conditions are sufficient, you can bathe your baby twice a day, each time. After taking a bath, apply an appropriate amount of talcum powder or nappy cream to the baby to prevent the baby's skin from ulcers.

2. Correctly handle the milk on the baby's head

The weather is hot in summer, and the baby's metabolism will speed up. If the baby's hair is not washed frequently, there will be some "like" appearance on the top of the baby's head. Dandruff" thing, this is milk coffee. Mothers, don't think that milk tea is really dandruff. It will fall off with a gentle twist. Stubborn milk tea will adhere tightly to the baby's head and is difficult to remove. Some mothers even use their fingers to clasp, and end up picking the baby's scalp, which can easily cause scalp infection.

Recommendation: For a small amount of milk coffee, you only need to soak it in baby shampoo for a while and then rinse it with water. For stubborn milk coffee, you can apply tea oil or baby milk on the baby's head. After the milk coffee softens, wash it again. If there is still milk coffee residue, use this method repeatedly until the milk coffee is completely removed.

3. Reasonably add or remove clothes for the baby

Mothers may think that the baby will be hot too because they feel hot, so they let the baby move around the house naked. In fact, this is not good for the baby's skin, and may even cause cold. We all know that babies have delicate skin and are easily disturbed by external factors. No matter how hot the weather is, you still have to wear a thin coat for your baby. Moreover, babies are very sensitive to temperature, and they can easily catch colds and fevers if they are not careful. Therefore, mothers must add or remove clothing for their babies appropriately based on the temperature and the baby's sweating.

Recommendation: Mothers should prepare at least two sets of thin cotton clothes for their babies, plus a quilt, for changing and washing. It is better to use light colors, which can effectively reduce heat absorption and reduce the amount of sweating by the baby.

In the hot summer, mothers should pay special attention to the above three points so that their babies will be healthier.
