Most adults take heat very hard, imagine what it would be like for children. After all, the baby has not yet formed heat exchange, his body is not yet able to cope with extreme heat and cold. There are some guidelines you need to follow to help children cope with the heat better.
Instructions
Step 1
In very hot weather, it is not recommended to take walks with children on the street from eleven o'clock in the afternoon until seventeen o'clock in the evening. For this, the time in the morning or evening, when the sun is not so active, is more suitable. If your city has a sea, rivers, reservoirs, then it is better to walk near them. If there are none, then the walk should be taken in a park or square, but the main thing is away from residential buildings, which, from heating, like from a stove, emit a large amount of heat.
Step 2
Sitting at home in hot weather, try to arrange water procedures for your child more often. For this, both water pools and an ordinary small bath are suitable. The water should not be made too warm, 32-33 degrees will be enough.
Step 3
If there is no air conditioner at home, you can direct a fan at the child. But not so that the fan was blowing directly at him, but simply periodically scrolled past the baby. You will notice how your little one will be delighted with even the smallest breeze. But, most importantly, do not worry that the child may get sick, a small draft in such weather will not harm him.
Step 4
In hot weather, the windows can be wide open. In general, in the summer, it is worth ventilating the apartment every day, especially where the child sleeps. Indeed, at a young age, children need fresh air.
Step 5
There are parents who, up to fanaticism, try to protect the child from colds. Do not open windows, wrap the baby in warm blankets. But this action will not lead to good. Since in most cases it is more dangerous for a child to overheat than overcool. A kid who is constantly kept warm is much more likely to get sick than his peers who are accustomed to being cool. It is worth remembering that the child's immunity develops from the first year of life, do not try to spoil the baby's health for the rest of his life.
Step 6
In case of extreme heat, offer the baby plenty of fluids, as babies at a young age do not have enough breast milk to completely quench their thirst. You can boil compote, make tea, or just give plain water, but be sure to offer it to your baby. Let's drink every half hour, the child, of course, can refuse, but you should not get upset, in an hour he can reach for the bottle himself. If your baby doesn't want to drink from the nipple, buy a sippy cup, or drink from a small teaspoon.
Step 7
Most importantly, do not wear diapers on children in hot weather. Since they soar the child's body very much and he becomes uncomfortable. This may even cause redness. Instead, place an oilcloth under the baby and put panties on him, let him relax.
