When to go for a walk with the baby?
Despite the fact that the temperature is below 20 degrees, the child needs to walk. Even such cold weather, provided there is no snowstorm, gusty wind or heavy snowfall, can be considered comfortable for a walk, because on the street children are active and do not freeze. It's very important for parents to dress themselves warmer.
One long walk should be replaced by two. Children who have not yet completed the year, you must walk 15 to 30 minutes a day. Comfort temperature is from 10 to 15 degrees with a minus sign. Small children usually "walk" on my mother's hands or in a stroller, and if you use a sling, then cooler weather will suit you, be sure that the child will be warmed by my mother's warmth.
Advice:
- Be sure to dress for a baby in a quality diaper
- To proceed with the baby's code is better after you are dressed yourself. This will allow you to escape a roar and whims, and, in addition, the child will not have time to sweat.
- Try to buy things only from natural materials, so that woolen things do not touch the skin, be sure to put something of cotton underneath.
How to protect the baby's skin in winter?
Every time prepare the baby's skin for a walk. When exposed to snow, the skin becomes wet and becomes subject to frostbite, so it is necessary to create a protective layer. To do this, you can use creams designed specifically for the care of baby skin, such a tool can be found virtually any cosmetic company. The cost of the cream does not always say its quality, so pay attention to its composition.
Among the ingredients of a good cream, there should be no preservatives, dyes, flavors and additives from the "E" group. A good effect on the skin ispantenol, beeswax, glycerin, zinc oxide, extracts of calendula, chamomile or aloe and oils of vegetable origin. They will help to heal small creases on the skin, soften it, moisturize and create a kind of film that protects against frostbite.
If you have not had time to buy a special cream to protect yourself from the cold, then you can use a regular children's cream instead of it, and if you need it, you need fat. The cream should be applied to the hands, face, neck and other open areas of the baby's skin in a thick layer half an hour before a walk, just as much time is needed to absorb and create a protective layer. It should be borne in mind that the cream can have harmful effects on the skin, if not wait until it absorbs, as water particles can turn into ice crystals in the cold and damage the skin.
Use hygienic lipstick to care for the baby's lips and protect the wind and choke. Instead of lipstick vaseline or lanolin. Apply the device better in advance, 10-15 minutes before the walk. After walking, the skin also needs cosmetic means. After she warms up, apply to a non-milk or light moisturizer.
Observing these simple rules of caring for children's skin and using the right cosmetics, you can keep the baby's skin healthy and smooth, and protect it from the harmful effects of the environment.
