The long-awaited warmth came, there was an opportunity to break out of the gray city, it's time to open the summer season ... And many parents immediately begin to worry: but how there, at the dacha, arrange a child so that he was well, and adults had the opportunity to relax?
What needs to be cooked so that the walk remains pleasant for everyone and does not bring problems? And in general - to take in this year's child? And if so, what to take for him?
There are a lot of questions, and not only for those who for the first time take the child out of the city for the first time: children grow and change their needs, and this often changes the usual layouts and schedules. Let's try to remember, did we take into account everything at the dacha gatherings, did not we forget something during the long winter?
The main thing is the preparation
If you are going to go with an infant - do not worry, age such trips is not a hindrance. Of course, everything is very individual, but in healthy children older than a month there are usually no contraindications to dacha rest.
Just need to pay special attention to the living conditions in which the child will be, and provide for everything. Yes, and caring for a small mother will require certain comfort qualities slightly above the marching ones. Sometimes the question of where to spend a holiday in the summer with a child, many moms answer immediately - on a suburban dacha!
Heat of the native house
First of all, of course, the holiday home should be warm. This is especially true for trips in early summer or late spring (many start to leave the city from the first days of May) and closer to the autumn. Even if it is warm in the daytime, it can get colder at night, and in this case additional heating of the room will be required: a stove, a fireplace, an electric heater.
Not bad to stock up and a hot-water bottle, and if it's not there - just fill up the plastic bottle with hot water from the kettle, wrap it in a towel and put it in a baby bed half an hour before you have to put the baby to bed: in the warmed bed, the children are better absorbed even in an unfamiliar place.
It's time to the table
By the way, on what will you heat the water, and in general to prepare food? If the house has hot water supply or an ordinary gas stove - it's great, if not - you need not forget the electric tile. However, for short trips it is quite suitable and portable gas, on a small balloon (these are sold in shops with tourist equipment). On them, and the water is heated, and the food is prepared much faster than on the electric stove.
Big Wash
Waters, we will notice, it is required to you much - both for drinking, and for meal, and for washing or to bathe the child. And just in order to quickly wash the stains of the baby - and even more need to be no less than a bucket ... And, most likely, not one and not once. So with children up to a year it is still better to go out of town only to where there is running water, and preferably directly in the house, at the extreme - on the site.
Bath day
For bathing an infant you will need a bath (do not forget to take it with you). Put it best right in the house, so as not to catch a crumb - for the time of bathing floors can be covered with a film to protect from the inevitable spill and splashes. For night and morning washing and washing the baby is best to heat the water in the evening and pour in a large (at least 2 liters) thermos, this preparation will greatly ease the trouble you need. About the plum, too, you need to think in advance - if you spill water after washing directly on the garden, it will not be the best "watering" and "fertilizer" for your site.
Pool
For swimming in the summer heat and playing in the water of a child older than 3 years, very convenient pool. The easiest way is to purchase an inflatable of the right size - it's safer. It is advisable to install it in such a way that at the beginning of the day the pool is exposed to the sun (the water will warm up more quickly), and then, when you can give a swim to the child - in the shade or at least in the penumbra. In general, any corner for long games of the baby is better placed in the shade of trees, canopies - even in the not too hot spring sun, tender baby skin can quickly burn out, and in the summer days, the shadow is simply necessary to protect from sunlight or heat stroke.
There is also another condition for the placement of a dacha children's corner - it must be constantly in the adult's sight: only this gives at least some guarantee of timely prevention of a variety of troubles.
Sandbox and Co
In addition to the pool, in such a corner it will be necessary to at least have a small sandbox, and the swing will not hurt either - the children love not only to ride them, but also to roll their toys. By the way, about toys: soft, fur and cloth, in dacha conditions, they get dirty quite quickly, so it's better not to take them, except that they are the most beloved ones - but leave them "to live in a house," not to take them where they will be in the water, and in the sand ... Small toys may soon be lost, the same applies to any dimly colored, especially in gray-green colors: your favorite plastic soldiers will hide in the grass quickly and reliably. But an excellent choice for the villa will be inflatable toys, balls, sovochki, buckets, etc.
And stuff, and so on ...
Well, of course, you need spare clothes - not only to quickly change the soiled, but also warm, in case of a sudden cold snap (we are not uncommon, and it is better not to risk the health of the baby). Do not forget the rubber boots, especially if there are walks in the forest, where even without rain the grass in the lowlands can turn out to be damp. A first aid kit "for all cases of life" is mandatory, including with funds for allergies, insect bites, for the treatment of abrasions, cuts, burns, scuffs, etc.
What else? Take your time, think, make a list in advance - and get ready for it, so it will be easier not to forget something at the last minute. All checked, everything is ready? Then a happy journey and a pleasant rest to you and your baby!
