Some mothers, having discharged from the hospital, do not dare to go out with their babies for a long time for a walk because of fear that it will harm the baby. But this is not so, walks with an infant are just necessary - this is due to many factors, consider them.
Than useful walks for infants
It is absolutely necessary to be in the open air. Elixir of growth and a wonderful "medicine" is fresh air for the baby. The fact is that oxygen is simply necessary for a growing organism. Saturation of the body with oxygen has a beneficial effect on the developing brain of the baby. Sufficient oxygen is also necessary for crumbs, as is nutrition.
At any time of the year, daily walks in the fresh air are necessary for the child. Being in the fresh air increases the appetite of the baby. This air helps to strengthen immunity, the proper development of the skin, strengthen the respiratory system. The kid, who cries in the house, calms down and falls asleep in the street.
It is proved that sunlight is necessary for proper development. During growth, and rapid, a disease of rickets is observed in 35% of young children. An ideal means for prevention is sunlight. Under its influence, the child produces vitamin D, which is a medicine for rickets.
But sunlight does not mean a direct hit on a crumb of sunlight. Such rays should be avoided. Ultraviolet radiation for a very delicate organism is dangerous. The child may get sunburn. The baby has very tender skin and light, there are few pigment cells in it, which are necessary for the production of melanin, which protects the skin from ultraviolet rays. Being with his baby in a shady place, his body will get enough vitamin D in sufficient quantity. In addition, it is desirable to choose a place for walking with clean air.
Also, walks with the baby are necessary for mastering a new space, in order to adapt to temperature fluctuations, which are not in the room. But for walks on the street, of course, gradualness is needed.
What you need to know in order to take out the crumb for a walk
The most problematic issue for parents is when after leaving the maternity home you need to start walking with the baby? If your baby was born in the warm season, then start taking it out to fresh air right after discharge, no more than 7 minutes, and if it's frosty in the street, then 3 to 5 minutes. In frosty weather, it is necessary to increase the time on the street for 2-3 minutes daily, and in warm weather, you can increase the time by 5-7 minutes every day. Already to 3-4 months of life crumbs a walk in the fresh air can be done all day. In winter, gradually increasing the time spent on the street, the baby should be on the street up to 4 hours per day. On the street you can take the baby several times.
For crumbs, winter air is more useful, because it is much fresh and more saturated with oxygen. Also in the winter air a lot of negative ions, and they perfectly tone up the body, contribute to the strengthening of the nervous system, the expansion of the bronchi and the removal of colic in the abdomen. In addition, in winter the air is cleaner, since snow absorbs negative substances from the air (exhaust gases, dust, etc.). Before you go out with the child on the street, take care of the water that you just need to take with you. The fact is that infants feel thirst more often than adults. You need to know that the baby will better tolerate the cold if it is full. In the event that the street is too frosty or it rains, strong wind, then it is good to take out the baby on the balcony these days.
During walks, especially in warm weather, do not try to eat the crumbs, because it will only do him harm. Periodically check the baby's spout, if it is cold, then the baby is cold. In strong wind, provide cover from it. Do not cover the face of the crumb with a corner of the diaper. This not only makes it difficult for the child to breathe, but also does not provide an opportunity to penetrate the sunlight. In case you are going for a long walk with the baby, take care of food, extra clothes and water. If outdoors the humidity of the air is more than 85%, then the trip to the street is better to cancel. Walking in the fresh air with infants not only benefits children, but also positively affects the parents.
