What matters should be paid attention to when nursing newborns in summer?

I'm glad to answer your questions about nursing newborns in summer. Here are the things you need to pay attention to:

1. Keep the indoor temperature suitable: newborns are sensitive to temperature. When the temperature is high in summer, ensure that the indoor temperature is kept between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius to avoid overheating or supercooling.

2. Avoid direct sunlight: Newborns have delicate skin and are vulnerable to sunlight. In hot weather, try to avoid exposing the baby to the sun. You can choose to take the baby out in the morning or at night.

3. Pay attention to indoor ventilation: the air humidity is high in summer, which is easy to breed bacteria and mold. Keep the room ventilated, but avoid blowing directly at the baby to avoid catching a cold or other discomfort.

4. Frequent feeding: The baby is prone to sweating in summer and needs more water. Breastfed babies should be fed as needed, and artificially fed babies can increase the number of feeding.

5. Pay attention to sun protection: If you need to take your baby out, especially when the sun is strong, you should apply sunscreen suitable for your baby and choose protective equipment such as wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses.

6. Pay attention to skin care: babies are prone to eczema and prickly heat in summer. Keep your baby's skin clean and dry, use mild detergents and skin care products, and avoid excessive friction or irritating substances.

7. Pay attention to mosquito bites: There are more mosquitoes in summer, and babies are easily bitten. Use protective measures such as baby safe anti-mosquito liquid or wearing long-sleeved trousers to avoid discomfort and disease spread caused by mosquito bites. The above suggestions are for reference only. If you have any specific questions or concerns, it is recommended to consult a pediatrician or a professional health care provider.
