There are 4 temperature ranges in winter .
- from minus 5 to plus 5 degrees Celsius. The child's clothing at this temperature should consist of a coverall on a sintepon, pantyhose and a long-sleeved T-shirt, warm boots with woolen insole, cotton socks, warm gloves and a woolen cap.
- from minus 5 to minus 10 degrees Celsius. The previous set should be supplemented with synthetic or cotton sweatshirt, light linen. On cotton socks you need to wear more and woolen.
- from minus 10 to minus 15 degrees Celsius. Warm boots should be replaced with felt boots or warmed shoes. In this weather, the child's clothing should consist of a fluffy overall with a hood, he should be put on a woolen hat. Instead of gloves, it is better to wear mittens with fur lining or woolen.
- from minus 15 to minus 23 degrees Celsius. In this weather with the child you need to stay at home, but if, however, you went out with a child, clothes should be the same as the previous one, and then the additional layer will not help. It is necessary to take appropriate precautions, cheeks the child to smear with a fat cream, reduce the time of walking.
It will be nice if the child's clothes include thermal underwear. Now such linen is worn by adults and children. Thermal underwear contains a mixture of wool and synthetics. Synthetics can remove excess moisture, and wool - to keep warm. In such clothes, the child will be warm enough, and even if he will play and actively run, he will remain dry.
If the child is allergic to wool, then this thermal underwear will not work for him. Then instead of this, you need to wear a long sleeve shirt, a sweater or a cotton sweatshirt with an admixture of synthetic or linen. Clean cotton is best not to wear, it absorbs moisture well, as a result of which it cools.
In winter, the child's clothing obeys this "1" principle, when the child is less than six months old. This suggests that the child's number of layers of clothing per layer should be more than you. The child is more active and older, it should be less confused, if the baby moves a lot, it will not freeze. But if the baby has close clothes, the blood can not circulate normally, as a result of which the risk of frostbite will increase. The highest heat output comes from the feet, hands and head. And you need to take care of warm shoes, mittens, scarf and a warm hat.
If you came with the child into the room, immediately you need to remove extra clothes from it so that it does not overheat and sweat. The same applies when the child is going to the street. First, parents dress, and only then they dress the child, so that he does not sweat and stand, while his parents gather. In fact if the sweated child leaves on street, that, certainly, he will cool.
If you think that your baby's clothes are picked up correctly, it's still on the street, you need to make sure that it does not overheat and does not freeze.
With the child everything is all right when he:
"The kid does not complain about the cold."
"He has ruddy cheeks, and therefore his blood circulates."
- The child has a cool back and a priest, cool hands, but not ice.
"He has cool cheeks and a nose, but not ice."
You can determine that the child is frozen by:
- On the pale cheeks and red nose.
- On the cold neck, nose and hands just above the brush.
- Cold feet are very often cooled, because tight shoes.
- The child says that he is cold.
When a child sweats and overheats, it can be determined by:
- Warm feet and hands.
- He has a very moist and warm back and neck.
- At a temperature below minus 8 degrees Celsius, the child has a warm face.
An overheated or frozen child should be taken home. If your child has frozen feet, you need to wear warm woolen socks in addition or if your baby's feet are sweating, then you need to put on him dry light socks.
For the prevention of colds is very important, what clothes the child. Properly selected clothing depends on the health of your child.
