In a recently born child, thermoregulation is still poorly developed, so he cannot yet defend himself against high or low temperatures on his own. Often, young parents overwrap their baby by mistake. It must be remembered that overheating a child is just as bad as cooling it down. It is worth remembering your instincts and listening to a few tips.
Instructions
Step 1
If central heating or a boiler works well in your home, then a baby's home wardrobe should not be any different from a newborn's clothing at other times of the year. But if your home is cool, then you should put on the child exactly one thing more than you currently have on. For example, if you are wearing a turtleneck and sweatpants, then you can put on a T-shirt, bike romper and a warm sweater with a cap.
Step 2
Clothes for walks should be thought out much more carefully, because a newborn in the first three months of life, walking on the street, sleeps and is without much movement.
Step 3
Before going out, first of all protect the head of the child from cold and frost. It is best to wear a warm hat that resembles a helmet so that the baby's ears are also covered. In addition to the head, keep the legs and arms warm, as they cool very quickly in small children.
Step 4
A newborn baby, dressed in a diaper and a light cotton jumpsuit, should be wrapped in two diapers: one will be cotton, and the second will be warm flannel. Now wrap it in a quilt or blanket, wrapping your head as well, and putting it in a fur envelope. The best fit is one that will tighten around your face in the shape of a hood.
Step 5
Place a small pillow under the baby's head so that the head is not below the body due to the large number of diapers and clothes that the newborn is wearing. The child does not need this pillow in the summer.
Step 6
Also remember, when dressing a newborn for a walk, that it is better not to use things with buttons on the back, the zipper should not cut into the baby's skin, all labels and tags must be cut off, and the clothes on the baby should sit freely so that he can move and breathe easily.
Step 7
Now you can enjoy your winter walk without fear of your newborn baby freezing and getting sick.
