Tempering toddlers: temperature regime, clothes and walks

Almost every parent knows about the benefits of hardening. In this article I want to tell you about specific methods, so that you can choose the most optimal for your baby. It's about temperature, clothes and walks.


Temperature conditions

The temperature of the air in the room where the baby is located is set individually. It is better to strive for a more cool environment, which can vary from 20 to 22 degrees, while the quality of the child and his clothes are all the determining factors.

Fresh air should always enter the room. In the warm season, the windows can be kept completely open, in cold weather - ajar or open window. In any case, no matter which way you prefer, several times a day the room should be subject to thorough airing. So, for example, in a cold time the room is ventilated less than five times a day for 10-15 minutes. Is best suited intensively airing. The child is taken out of the room. During sleep due to airing, the temperature of the air in the nursery can be reduced to 18-20 degrees.

clothing

Choose for your crumbs comfortable clothes, suitable for the weather, it is not easy, but it comes with experience. You can focus on the following: put on a baby clothes on one layer more than you take on yourself.

Not every kid makes it clear to his parents that during a walk it is hot or cold, so you need to monitor it yourself. Watch for the temperature of his spout, pens, legs, skin color. Watch his behavior when you are on the street, and keep track of his condition upon returning home. So you can ensure maximum comfort to your child and maintain his immunity at the proper level.

Walking

In the summer, with the baby begin to walk right after discharge from the hospital. The first walk can last for 30 minutes, then daily add another 10-15 minutes. On fresh air the baby should be at least two hours a day. In the summer they walk special.

In the cold season, they are gradually crooked to the cold air. After discharge, the baby is carried out only in a well ventilated room or on a balcony. After one or two weeks, you can already organize a short walk. At the same time, the temperature of the air on the street for a one-two-month-old child should be at least 25 degrees, for a three-four-month period, at least 20 degrees, for a child aged five to twelve months, at least 15 degrees. In addition to air temperature, humidity and windiness are also taken into account. as the factors can also lead to cooling of the child's body.

In cold weather, mothers prefer to make two short walks than one long one. Do not forget to smear the baby's face with a protective cream.

Walking, of course, follows the daylight. The sun stimulates the production of vitamin D in the skin of the baby, which prevents the development of rickets, so the top of the stroller is often not closed. Do not limit yourself to walking on the balcony. The fabric, glass and polyethylene ultraviolet are practically not passed. In cold weather, the baby's face is not closed, but here it is important to trace then that the baby's head is in the depth of the blanket.
