After tossing for half a night, the baby's fever finally went down, and it was reassuring to look at the baby's sleeping face. Although it is autumn now, the temperature is not getting cold slowly, but it is sometimes cold and sometimes hot. This season, children's physical resistance is weak, and colds are really hard to prevent! How to help your baby stay away from colds and get sick less?
What are the reasons why the baby is easy to catch a cold?
Poor immunity
Generally speaking, children are almost immune. If you don't pay attention, it is easy to catch a cold and get sick. Now just a few days after school, in school, more children will also increase the chances of children being exposed to bacteria, thus increasing the chances of babies getting sick. Especially for children who have just turned 3 years old and entered the park, there are very few people who come into contact with them on weekdays, and the chances of being exposed to bacteria are very small. With the careful care of their parents, they may be less likely to catch a cold and get sick.
But it's different when you get to school. At school, teachers need to take care of not just one or two children, but a group of children. It is impossible to take care of yourself like parents, so children have almost no self-care ability and are more likely to catch a cold.
The temperature changes greatly.
It's autumn now. Although autumn is sometimes sunny and crisp, it is not always like this. Sometimes it's cold and hot. In this weather, children's adaptability is poor, and they are prone to catch a cold if they are not careful.
Don't think that putting more clothes on your child will solve the problem. If you put too many clothes on your child, the child will sweat more easily and the clothes will be wet with sweat. It's no use wearing too much when the cold wind blows.
Dietary reasons
This reason may often be overlooked by parents. Children need a lot of nutrition for their healthy development every day. At the same time, children can better ensure their health only by absorbing enough nutrition.
But children are small eaters, and sometimes it is easy to be picky about food. At this time, the child's unbalanced diet leads to malnutrition and the lack of certain trace elements, which also easily leads to the decline of the baby's physical resistance, thus increasing the chance of the baby catching a cold and getting sick.
flu
Autumn is also the peak of influenza, especially when you often go to crowded places, you are more likely to catch a cold and get sick.
How to keep your baby away from colds?
Only by mastering the reasons why children are prone to illness can we better prevent babies from catching a cold and getting sick.
Pay attention to keep warm and change clothes in time.
In autumn, the weather is getting colder and colder, so you need to pay attention to keep your baby warm. Now it's just autumn, and the temperature changes greatly, and it's hot and cold. You need to pay attention to adding or subtracting clothes for your baby in time.
This can better prevent the baby from catching a cold and getting sick. You know, the baby's metabolism is fast, it is easier to sweat, and the child is active and prone to sweat. At this time, if you dress your baby according to the cold and hot feelings of adults, it may cause your baby to sweat too much because it is too hot.
Let the baby drink more water.
In autumn, when the weather is dry, people lose water quickly. If you don't pay attention to water supply, it is easy to lack water. Children are more prone to water shortage because they are active and sweat more. The baby's lack of water is not only easy to get sick, but also easy to cause the baby to get sick and catch a cold.
Pay more attention to drinking warm water for your baby, which can not only replenish the water needed by your body in time, but also keep your body warm and better prevent colds.
Exercise actively.
Children are more likely to get sick than adults because of their poor constitution, poor resistance and poor immunity. This requires more children to go outdoors, not to say that they must exercise, but that it is ok for children to go out and play wildly. In the process of playing, children naturally get exercise, improve their physical fitness and improve their immunity and resistance.
Pay attention to supplement nutrition.
In this high-incidence season of colds, parents need to pay more attention to supplement their babies' nutrition, so that the baby's nutrition is balanced and comprehensive, which is not only conducive to enhancing the baby's immunity, avoiding the baby's cold, but also promoting the baby's healthy development.
Therefore, the daily diet needs to pay attention to the reasonable combination of meat and vegetables, less oil, less salt and less sugar, more vegetables and fruits, and a light diet, so as to better promote the baby's health, especially to let the baby eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, which is very helpful for improving the baby's body immunity.
Prevention of influenza
In this cold season, parents need to pay attention to take their children to crowded places and public places, and it is best to wear masks and wash their hands as soon as they get home. Pay attention to the baby's personal hygiene at any time. Only in this way can we better prevent colds.
If necessary, you can take your baby to get a flu shot, which is also very helpful to fight the flu.
to tell the truth
Although a cold and fever is a minor illness, it happens to the baby, not only the baby is uncomfortable, but also the parents are distressed. Therefore, in order to keep the baby away from colds, parents should not forget to take these defensive measures.
