New parents will meet many problems during baby care. Below are some mistakes that you need to avoid.
- wear your baby as many clothes as possible
In winter, the outside temperature is low. Parents are afraid that their babies will get a cold. So they always wear their babies’ thick clothes to keep warm. But wearing too thick clothes not only will affect your baby's activity and movement but also can make your baby sweat a lot. Sweating a lot can cause your baby to have a cold easier.
- wear your baby a face mask and scarf
Parents are worried that their babies may get attacked by a virus. So they often give babies masks and scarves to wear when they take them out. In fact, this is not good for the baby. Although masks and scarves can help shelter from the cold wind for babies. It also will make the baby feel uncomfortable and have potential risks.
- wear your thick baby clothes to keep warm during sleep
Many parents are afraid that their babies will kick the covers or quilts. So parents always wear their babies thick clothes when they sleep. But the fact is that wearing too thick clothes during sleep does more harm than good. It will affect a baby’s blood circulation. The baby may sleep uncomfortably and can not get enough rest. If a baby can not have a good sleep. It can hinder his development, reduce the skin resistance and increase the chances of disease.
- Tips: If the indoor temperature is not particularly low. It is generally not recommended to let your baby wear a sleep sack that is too heavy.
Before falling asleep, mom and dad should put the baby in the crib for about 15 minutes. And then, you can check the body temperature of your baby. Try to touch the back of the baby's neck with your warm hands to check if the back of the baby's neck is warm. Also, parents can use the same way to check if their baby is overheating or cold in the middle of the night.
Suppose the back of the baby's neck is cold. It means that you should add clothes or change thicker clothes for your baby. Conversely, if the baby’s back of the neck is sweating, you should take off or change some lightweight clothes for him.
When your baby wears a non-breathable sleep sack, he will feel uncomfortable if your baby is sweating because the clothes are too thick. Then parents must reduce the clothes for their baby in time. Your baby may easier to grow prickly heat or get a cold.
