You sent your baby to kindergarten, and the first, most difficult period of adaptation did not seem to have begun badly. The child does not cry and is not capricious, willingly goes to the kindergarten, but at the most inopportune moment, trouble happens - he gets sick. A week or two on sick leave, going out to the garden - and again the danger of catching a cold or flu. In order for viruses and germs to bypass your child, take preventive measures in advance.
Instructions
Step 1
Pediatricians believe that a healthy baby who enters kindergarten at the age of two and a half years and older goes through the adaptation period quite easily. However, be prepared for the fact that for 2-3 weeks there will be some changes in his behavior. The child may become more moody, sleep less and refuse to eat. Very often, it is the first days of being in the garden that end with an acute respiratory illness. Usually ARI proceeds without complications and ends in a week.
Step 2
If you haven't taken care of hardening your baby, it's time to start the procedure. It is best to start hardening in late spring or summer, but you can start in September as well. First, invite your baby to walk on a wet towel. Cool douches can be started later. Well stimulates the immune system and walking around the house barefoot.
Step 3
Ventilate the room where the baby is sleeping often. Try to keep the temperature in the apartment below 22 degrees and below 18. Buy a humidifier - it will help prevent the risk of colds. Do not wrap your baby up - in a warm room he should wear light home clothes.
Step 4
When collecting your child for kindergarten, dress him correctly. For colder seasons, follow the “three layers” rule. Excess blouses and sweaters prevent the baby from moving, besides, he can sweat quickly and, as a result, catch a cold. Take care of comfortable and warm shoes of a suitable size - in too tight boots or boots, the child's feet will freeze faster.
Step 5
In order for the child to eat correctly and variedly, gradually accustom him to new food. Introduce more salads from fresh and boiled vegetables, dairy products with live bacteria, fresh fruits and juices into your diet. If the baby refuses to eat, reduce the portions, promise a delicious dessert, but try to make sure that he eats everything offered. The more varied the home diet, the more likely the child will eat well in kindergarten.
Step 6
If your child eats chalk or paper and stubbornly refuses to eat meat, they may be iron deficient. Consult your pediatrician - most likely, you will be prescribed a complex of vitamins and minerals. Do not give drugs at your own discretion - an overdose of nutrients is no less dangerous than their lack.
