Many couples strive to plan for the birth of a baby in the warm season. After all, in summer, diapers with sliders dry faster, and walking with a child is much more comfortable. However, there are nuances that parents-to-be should consider.
Instructions
Step 1
The indisputable advantages of having a baby in the summer can be found at the very beginning of pregnancy. As you know, the conception of summer toddlers occurs in autumn. And by this time, the body is saturated with a large amount of vitamins, thanks to the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Step 2
Summer children do not get rickets, because during daily walks in the sun they receive a sufficient amount of vitamin D. The baby gets more vitamins through breast milk. Indeed, in the summer there are much more foods rich in nutrients.
Step 3
Another plus - in the summer, a newborn does not need to be wrapped in a huge amount of clothes. Firstly, it is beneficial from an economic point of view - there is no need to buy warm overalls, envelopes for walking and other warm clothes, from which the baby will quickly grow. A few light undershirts for the house and a couple of beautiful bodysuits and slip-ons for walking are enough.
Step 4
Secondly, children who spent more time naked or in a minimum of clothes in the first months of life develop faster. After all, it is easier for them to examine their bodies and understand what arms and legs are needed for.
Step 5
Also, summer babies from the first days of life can take air baths, temper with water procedures.
Step 6
However, there are also disadvantages to having a baby in the summer. The first trimester of pregnancy occurs during the time of the year when the flu and colds are rampant. Therefore, the expectant mother needs to take all precautions so as not to get sick and not harm the fetus.
Step 7
If the time of childbirth is in the second half of the summer, you will have to take care of the pregnancy in hot conditions. In addition, stuffiness and high air temperature can cause intoxication of the body of the expectant mother.
Step 8
Heat is also difficult for newborns. Very small crumbs have not yet developed the ability to heat transfer, so getting a heat stroke for them is easier than ever. All this can be avoided by following a few simple rules. Do not put unnecessary clothes on your child. Humidify the air in the apartment and ventilate the premises. Don't go outside with your baby during the hottest hours of the day. It is better to choose time for walks in the morning, before it is very hot, or in the evening. Give your baby the opportunity to take air baths and bathe him in cool water every day.
Step 9
And in summer, it is full of mosquitoes, midges and other insects. For newborns, bites of bloodsuckers are dangerous not only with itchy pimples, but also with purulent inflammation, exacerbation of allergic dermatitis. Therefore, it is important to protect the crumbs from insects with the help of mosquito nets and special children's products.
Step 10
The birth of a little man is a great joy in the family. And it doesn't matter when he was not born. The main thing is that he is wanted, healthy and happy.
