Step 1

Walking in the fresh air is a great way to get the right dose of ultraviolet radiation and activate the production of vitamin D. The first sunbathing should be carried out in the shade of a tree or a special awning at an air temperature of at least 22 degrees Celsius. You need to start with three to four minutes, gradually increasing the duration of the sunbath. The child's head must be covered with a panama hat. Monitor your child's health while sunbathing. At the first sign of discomfort or anxiety, it is advisable to interrupt the procedure.
Step 2
How to temper an infant. Air: Make sure your child is outdoors as often as possible. Going with your baby for a walk, do not wrap him up. When dressing him for a walk, adhere to a simple rule - the clothes on the child should have the same number of layers as on you, plus one more layer. Do not be intimidated by the cool weather. The only unacceptable weather for walking a baby is windy weather, as well as frost below 15 degrees Celsius. All other weather conditions are great for walking with a small child. Remember to provide fresh air to the room where the baby is. At least four to five times a day, you need to ventilate the room, and in the summer it is advisable to keep the windows open all the time. In this case, you need to ensure that a draft does not arise in the room.
Step 3
How to temper an infant. Water. Water procedures are an excellent tool for hardening a baby. The first water hardening procedures include daily hygienic baths. To enhance the effect, do not make the bath water too hot. Children under one year old feel comfortable at a water temperature of 36-37 °. It is advisable to finish bathing by rinsing with water, which is a couple of degrees cooler than in the bathroom. In addition to hygienic baths, you can temper an infant with the help of wet rubdowns. Wipe the baby with a soft flannel dipped in warm water, then rub it with a soft fluffy towel until the skin becomes slightly red. The temperature of the water for wetting the flannel is gradually reduced, from 32-33 ° to 28-27 °. The duration of the hardening procedure is 5-6 minutes.
