Babies have poor resistance, so colds and fevers are a common occurrence. The cold weather in winter makes it a high season for babies to catch colds and fevers. Is your baby prone to fever and colds? Let’s take a look at what kind of babies are prone to colds and fevers? Children’s nervous system is still developing, the body temperature regulation ability is poor, coupled with the immune function is not sound, more prone to fever than adults, usually the younger the baby loves the cold and fever, preschoolers may suffer from 4 to 8 times a year. However, some babies do not have serious physical diseases, but they have colds and fevers more frequently than the average child. At this time, parents should consider their own problems, because in addition to genetic factors, unreasonable feeding methods and overindulgence can cause babies to be weak and sickly. Seven categories of unreasonable feeding styles are summarized in terms of dressing, eating and behavior that may lead to frequent colds and fevers in babies. The first type of “eat more” baby parents often say to the child “eat more” “eat more”, some parents chase the baby to feed, and some parents even if the child just finished eating, but also Some parents will keep stuffing things into the baby’s mouth even after the child has finished eating. For years and years, this “being eaten more”. Experts say: eating is a natural physiological phenomenon, children also have the ability to perceive this, parents should not force children to eat more, not to eat all the time. The Ming dynasty medical book “Wan Mi Zhai” pointed out that “in order for a child to be safe, three points of hunger and cold”. Children’s spleen and stomach function is insufficient, although the need for nutrition, but should not eat more, after eating more easily cause indigestion, accumulation of excessive internal heat induced colds. The child’s diet should be reasonable in variety, meat and vegetables, to meet the needs of the child is appropriate. For example, when feeding, the child does not eat with his mouth, should immediately stop, do not force-feed. The second category of babies who do not like to drink water Juice, milk, drinks instead of plain water, too many sweets not only hurt many children’s teeth, but also affect their digestive function. Experts say: water is involved in all the metabolism of the body, drink less water naturally love to get sick, so water is also the most important “medicine” to prevent and treat children’s colds and fevers. It is recommended that parents should let their children develop the habit of loving plain water and actively drinking water from a young age, and not to replace plain water with drinks and juice. Usually 1 to 3 years old children need to drink about 1200 to 1600 ml of water per day, excluding the water intake of diet, but also should drink at least 600 ml of water directly every day, the indoor air is dry in winter, should be appropriate to increase the amount of water. Drink more frequently when you have a cold, fever and vomiting or diarrhea and are dehydrated. The third category of overdressed babies, especially the elderly with children, some of the elderly themselves are afraid of cold, think the baby is also afraid of cold, dry and warm indoor also let the baby wear three layers, the little face is often covered with red. Experts say: babies are often in a state of activity, overdressed, easy to sweat, and cause the accumulation of internal heat, a little less will cause a cold and fever. The baby should be dressed according to the climate, indoor temperature at any time to increase or decrease, in order to baby face normal color, warm limbs and not obvious sweating is appropriate. Newborn babies (within 28 days of birth) should wear one more piece of clothing indoors than adults. 2 to 3 months old, they can wear the same amount of clothes as adults indoors and one more piece outdoors. Older children can wear one less than adults indoors and one more than adults outdoors. However, parents should pay attention to the warmth of the child’s feet, because the feet have a close neural connection with the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract, and once the feet get cold they are prone to catch a cold. Class 4 less exercise baby “do not run, careful to fall”, this is what many parents often say to their children, fear of injury, fear of danger, some babies four or five years old are still afraid to walk independently, where to hold the hand of adults, not to mention spreading their legs to run. Expert’s words: Compared with children who are active, children who do not like to exercise, eat small amounts, weak digestion and absorption, lower immunity, easy to catch a cold and fever. At the same time, due to the lack of exercise, the body’s balance, coordination, flexibility and endurance are not exercised, and the overall quality will also decline. Therefore, it is recommended that parents should ensure that children have one hour of outdoor activity every day, and older children should have physical exercise three times a week. Category 5 Babies with too little sleep Some young parents have the habit of staying up late themselves, so they also neglect their children’s sleep. Children often fall asleep after 11:00 at night, and have to go to kindergarten or school on time the next day, resulting in long-term sleep deprivation, which affects height and also immunity. Expert’s words: Adequate sleep is a prerequisite for children’s development, often lack of sleep immunity is bound to decline, it is easy to catch a cold and fever. Parents should train their children to go to bed early and get up early, and let them be quiet before going to bed so as not to affect their sleep time and sleep quality. Especially when you see your child showing signs of illness, make sure they get enough sleep. Usually children should be guaranteed more than 10 hours of sleep and should enter deep sleep at 10 pm.
