In the yard in summer and hot Springtime is especially difficult for children, for whom this summer - the first one. And since babies first year of life have not yet adjusted the mechanism of thermoregulation to avoid heat stroke, they should be treated with special attention. So, what steps to take to avoid overheating?
Wear crumbs for the weather. Sometimes a walk you can see the shocking thing: kids in strollers, which in the summer heat are in wheelchairs in the camel blanket and wool cap. Kuta is not the kid! A thin cap, which is designed to protect from the heat, and not from the "dangerous" summer breeze, and cotton raspashonochka or slip - this is what you need in this weather. And if you so much want the child something to hide, let it be just a diaper.
Do not walk in the heat.Walking in the fresh air is very important for the health and development of the crumbs, but to walk with the baby in the midday heat is not necessary. Choose the promenade morning (before 10 am) and evening (16 hours after) the time. Houses zaveste curtains to let the sun does not heat the apartment. You can also open the window to arrange drafts. The flow of warm air - it is not dangerous if the child does not lie in its path.
Do not use oil-cloth. Of baby cots clean oilcloth and moisture repellent coating on the mattress. Instead, lay down bed sheet or a cotton towel with short pile.
Often bathe the baby. In this case it is possible to depart from the regime and to bathe the child, not only at bedtime. Fast refreshing bath between walks and feedings will only benefit.
Buy a thermometer. In the room and into the street. So it will be easier to navigate in reality than on the application of the smartphone and understand, whether to go for a walk with the child and his in this dress.
Freeze the ice.To cool the infant can namorozit ice in plastic bottles and put around the baby's crib. A noticeable cooling effect and air humidification is guaranteed.
Keep the mood of the child. Try as soon as possible to calm the baby if he cries. The louder and more active he is crying, the faster it rises the temperature, which you now completely useless. Sometimes to baby cheerful, quite gently rub his face soaked in cool (not ice-cold!) Water-dampened cloth.
Avoid dehydration. If your child has not yet turned six months, and he is breastfed, additional dopaivaniyah water it does not need. Mother's milk for the child of this age - the best food and drink. But applying should be frequent to avoid dehydration.
Bottle-babies, toddlers and older than six months must be dopaivat children's water at room temperature - little and often.
Go out of town. Outside the city, the heat is transferred more easily, so if you have the opportunity to move to the summer cottage or in the suburban boarding house - it will be the best solution. Sea outings and long trips while benefits do not bring, and may even harm your health.
Change portability.If you are using backpacks and slings for carrying a child on her, note, they are made of a fabric. Winter options from a thick fabric like denim with foam tabs excluded. On summer backpack should be made of fine tulle or cotton. If the baby behaves in carrying restless, flushed and breathes, immediately remove it, let the chest and rub the face with cool water.
