How to dress your baby in winter

When winter comes, parents should pay attention to weather changes, add clothes for their babies at any time, and especially pay attention to keeping warm when the cold snap comes. But as the saying goes, “spring covers autumn freeze”, so clothes should be added gradually, not too early, and give the baby a period of time to gradually adapt to the cold. As the temperature decreases, the mother is afraid that the baby will catch a cold, so she will prepare various cold clothes for the baby and put on more and more clothes for the baby. Whether there is heating in the north or warm air conditioning in the south, the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors will be particularly large, and the baby should pay more attention to proper protection, put on and take off clothes in time, and pay attention to keeping warm.
Wear close-fitting cotton underwear In
winter, your baby’s underwear must be made of pure cotton fabrics. Soft underwear can not only absorb sweat, but also allow air to be trapped around the skin, prevent body heat from dissipating, play a better role in keeping warm, and give the baby warm care. When the baby sleeps, it is best to put on side pajamas, so that even if the baby kicks off the quilt, he can maintain his body temperature and his stomach will not get cold. Note: Do not wear chemical fiber clothes for your baby, chemical fiber is easy to generate static electricity, which will irritate the baby’s skin and aggravate dryness and discomfort.
Don’t wear sweaters close to your body
Baby’s skin is soft and delicate, which can easily cause skin allergies, so sweaters should not be in direct contact with the baby’s skin to avoid skin itching and hives. It is also important to choose the texture of the yarn. There are special wool threads for babies on the market, which are smaller, softer, and better warm than ordinary wool, which is very suitable for babies. Also be careful not to use mohair and rabbit wool, as they are very easy to lose hair, such as being inhaled into the lungs and trachea by the baby can cause diseases.
Wear loose and warm outerwear When going out in
winter, cover your baby with a loose, windproof coat, such as cotton cold clothing, down jacket, etc., to make your baby’s movements flexible and convenient. The fabric of the outer garment should be soft, and the material should have good thermal insulation performance, mainly depending on the composition ratio of the filler. The best thermal insulation performance is down and feathers, followed by cotton, and chemical fiber materials are light but have the worst thermal insulation performance.
Note: Some babies are allergic to fillers, which can easily induce rashes and asthma, so you need to carefully observe the baby’s reaction after putting on the clothes and deal with it in time.
The warmth ability of the body of a baby under 1 year old is still poor, and 25% of the heat is emitted from the head, so when going out, you should wear a coat or cape with a brimmed hat, otherwise you need to wear a hat to maintain a constant body temperature. The thickness of the hat can be thickened as the temperature decreases. Note: Babies with milk moss (eczema) or allergies should not wear beanie hats to avoid skin allergies and dermatitis.
Wear less masks and do not use scarves to protect your mouth When babies within
6 months and frail and sick go out, you can wear a mask to avoid bacterial infection. However, wearing a mask will reduce the adaptability of the baby’s respiratory tract to cold air and resistance to colds, bronchitis, etc., and healthy babies should wear masks as little as possible. When going out, you can use a scarf to protect your baby’s neck, but it is best not to protect your mouth. Thick scarves block the baby’s mouth and nose for a long time, affecting the baby’s normal ventilation, and the baby is also prone to inhaling dust, germs and fibers in the scarf into the trachea and lungs, which can easily cause allergic diseases such as asthma.
Keep socks dry Wet
socks will make the soles of the baby’s feet cold, and a large amount of moisture will squeeze out the air in the fibers, let alone keep warm; Babies wearing wet socks for a long time can easily cause a decrease in resistance and colds; Therefore, your baby should be replaced with clean and dry socks every day. In winter, it is best for mothers to choose cotton and pure wool socks for their babies, which have the effect of maintaining and warming the skin of the feet.
How to dress your baby when you go out in winter:
When the cold winter comes, many mothers are afraid of freezing their babies, when leading their babies out for activities, they always put on more and thicker clothes, and the whole body is also tightly covered, but some babies are repeatedly cold and sick, and the mother is puzzled by this, how can the baby increase its cold tolerance?
1: Be sure to put on underwear
for the baby  Some mothers think that the baby will sweat a lot if he keeps moving, if the sweat wets the underwear, it is better not to wear it, as long as you wear thick clothes outside to keep warm. As everyone knows, soft cotton underwear can not only absorb sweat, but also keep air around the skin, so it blocks the loss of body heat and is not easy to make the baby cold and sick; Babies who don’t wear underwear lose a lot of heat on the body surface, and their bodies are always cold to the touch, especially the lower body, so it’s no wonder they are prone to colds.
2: Dress in moderation, don’t sweat constantly because you wear too much
If you wear too much, the baby will sweat continuously, which will dilate the skin blood vessels and increase the blood flow of the skin, so the heat dissipation will increase. It is manifested as the baby sweats a lot, and the clothes are soaked with sweat, which causes them to catch a cold, and also reduces the body’s ability to adapt to changes in external temperature and reduce disease resistance. Since babies under 6 months old dissipate a lot of heat due to their relatively large body surface area, but their body’s ability to produce heat is insufficient, they should still pay attention to dressing more when going out in the cold. To judge whether the baby is dressed appropriately, you can often touch his little hands and feet, as long as they are not cold, it means that their body is warm.
3: Give your baby a light cotton jacket
that is both windproof and warm, better than wearing a few more thick clothes to keep out the cold, and it is dexterous and convenient to move.
Because the inner layer of the small cotton suit is sandwiched between the inner layer and the outer layer of the cotton coat, it can absorb a lot of air, and the heat emitted by the skin body temperature first penetrates the inner layer of the cotton suit, and then penetrates into the middle layer of cotton, which is absorbed by multiple layers of air and surrounded by the skin, while the outer layer of the cotton jacket is not easy to let cold air invade, so it has a good warmth effect. The thick coat does not have more space to absorb warm air, and the wind protection is okay, but the cold and warmth are much worse than the small cotton clothes.
Fourth: Don’t wear velvet pants close to the body
Velvet pants are usually made of fleece knitted fabric, but they are soft, fluffy, and have good warmth. However, if worn on the opposite side, these fluff will quickly become bonded and hard due to sweat and sebum, and if you rub it hard during washing, it will aggravate this situation, and the warmth effect will be caused by this?
