Winter is coming, how should I dress my children?

Winter is coming, how should I dress my children? In the past few days, many parts of the country began to cool down sharply, and most areas entered a cold mode. Many mothers quickly entered the battle mode of preventing cold and catching cold without receiving the express delivery of the Double Eleven, and put on thick velvet thermal underwear, thick sweaters and thick down jackets for their babies, which can be described as three layers inside and three layers outside, for fear of freezing. Actually, I don't pay much attention to baby clothes. As long as mothers keep in mind the formula of "three warms and one cool", the baby will not get sick in the future.

What do you mean by "three warms" here? It is the baby's body parts: warm back, warm abdomen, warm hands and feet.

I don't know if you have heard that in Chinese medicine, the front part of the human body belongs to yin and the back part belongs to yang. Just like when encountering strong winds in life, we often choose to wrap our clothes and bow up, and choose to use our backs to resist the cold, because the backs are the most cold-resistant areas of the human body. Therefore, when we encounter a cold wind, our first reaction is to turn our backs on the strong wind.

The baby is the same, and the back will be the warmest position. If the back feels cold, it means that the baby is very cold and needs to add clothes urgently. On the contrary, if the back is covered with sweat, it means that the baby is very hot, and mothers should reduce their clothes to avoid physical discomfort.

As for the warmth of the abdomen, I think everyone can understand. From the moment the baby is born, it is most important to keep the abdomen warm. Once a small belly catches cold, it means that colds and diarrhea will follow, and the intestinal health will be damaged, and the baby will be more painful. Therefore, even if mothers play in their own homes, don't forget to add a layer of clothes to the baby's stomach to avoid catching cold.

It can be seen that the baby's clothes should follow the principle of "thin on the top and thick on the bottom". The belly, back, legs and feet should be thicker, and the head and chest should be relatively thinner. In addition, the baby's cold and hot is controlled by the cold and hot at the back of the neck, not the temperature of the hands and feet, because the peripheral circulation development of the newborn is still not perfect.

The baby needs to pay attention to adding clothes. Write down a formula first: temperature+increased temperature of clothes =26℃

Take a chestnut as an example: If the temperature is 10℃, then the dressing temperature is 26- 10 = 16, so children can wear thick down jacket (9℃)+ thick sweater (4℃)+ thick cotton sweater (2℃).

This comparison table of dressing temperature should be put aside:

How to choose baby's clothes in winter? It is best to wear pure cotton sportswear, because this kind of clothing has good warmth and breathability, is not easy to generate static electricity, and is also convenient for active babies to do sports. The best clothes not to wear are: chemical fiber clothes, which are airtight and easy to generate static electricity, making children feel dry and uncomfortable; Turtleneck clothes are easy to make your baby's neck itch; Open-backed pants, germs easily infect the baby's body; Tights are not good for baby's exercise.
