How to care for your baby in the fall?

The summer heat of 2016 has passed, which means that the summer heat will disappear and summer will finally come to an end. Autumn breeze, dry air increases, “dry evil” take advantage of the opportunity to enter, seriously threatening the health of the baby. What should mothers who are always concerned about their babies do about this abominable “autumn tiger”? In Chinese medicine, this is called autumn dryness, which is a malady brought about by the change of seasons. The baby’s body systems and organs are not well developed, and they are more sensitive to climate changes than mothers, so they are prone to nosebleeds, dry throat, dry cough and other symptoms, and even induce bronchitis. 1, water can not be missing autumn tiger although with a word autumn, but still very hot, the temperature is high, the baby sweat more, the body inside the water and some vitamins will follow the sweat out, these substances a loss will cause the baby’s water and salt metabolism imbalance. Therefore, in the autumn, parents must pay attention to the baby’s water replenishment, the best is to let the baby is still small when the baby has a good habit of drinking water, so that you do not have to worry about the baby drink enough water. At the same time many traditional summer soup can also be given to the baby to drink as appropriate, but to drink in moderation. 2, focus on the main food In most cases, the baby within 1 year old breast milk or formula is the main, and then the other ways of eating are complementary. So if you want your baby’s body to have enough energy, you must pay attention to give your baby rich carbohydrates, the baby’s main food is best to be able to soft rice, if the baby is tired of eating or can not eat, you can feed your baby a little porridge. Like eight porridge, red beans or mung bean porridge, the advantage of drinking porridge is that it can give the baby energy while also replenishing water. As the old saying goes: the grains are nourishing, and that’s what it’s all about. The power of the autumn tiger is so strong that the energy and protein in the body will be consumed in a very short time. So babies over 1 year old need to drink at least 350ml of liquid milk every day. If the baby is overweight or too obese, then when buying milk powder, it is better for mom and dad to be able to buy some low-fat milk or even skimmed milk. At the same time, fish, meat and other food is also an effective way to supplement protein, you can take in about 100g (2 taels) a day. 3, do not touch the cold food The baby’s stomach and intestines are very fragile, so it must be well protected. At the same time, cold food is the most stimulating to the stomach and intestines. If the baby’s resistance is weak, eating cold things is likely to cause gastrointestinal diseases, so parents must know never to give the baby to eat cold things. 4, fruits and vegetables daily to be sufficient According to the “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine”: five fruits to help, five dishes to fill. Five fruit is a variety of fresh fruit, hard fruit and dried fruit, five fruit has a lot of dietary fiber and protein, can make us have sufficient vitamins and minerals, to maintain internal balance, can make us not on fire, the probability of getting disease also decreased very much. The five vegetables are the vegetables in our daily life, our life is full of a variety of vegetables, their roots and leaves have a lot of vitamins and carotenoids, to complement the body’s nutritional elements. Vegetables and fruits have a lot of potassium, when sweating will take away a certain amount of potassium, if the lack of potassium will make the body electrolyte imbalance, which is very bad for health, so it is best to take sufficient fruits and vegetables every day to ensure that the body has enough potassium, to maintain the electrolyte balance. In general, babies eat 150g (3 taels) of fruits and vegetables each day, and that is enough. 5, prevention of belly button and feet cold daytime as long as the room temperature is not high it is not recommended to open the air conditioning, parents can open the window to make the air flow, so that the autumn kill the air to wash the summer heat wave left in the room of the wet and turbid gas. Indoor air conditioning should be used properly, it is recommended to keep the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor at about 5 ℃ to avoid catching a cold, but also to maintain the circulation of indoor air, to avoid the doors and windows at home tightly closed, resulting in indoor air turbidity, hot and humid. There are diseases afraid to use the air conditioning baby, parents should take physical cooling, such as electric fan before the basin of water, often used to scrub the body with water. Small babies have a strong metabolism and sweat a lot, so they are more prone to fever, so pay attention to personal and environmental hygiene, and bathe and change clothes regularly. Don’t be too greedy for coolness when cooling off, at this time, we should pay attention not to let the baby run around with bare feet and belly button, and must prevent the feet and belly button from getting cold to prevent the occurrence of Yin summer. 6, avoid outdoor exercise at noon Baby’s exercise to “not tired” as the standard. In the morning and evening, you can go outdoors to promote blood circulation and speed up metabolism to keep your baby’s energy good throughout the day. However, if the temperature is high at noon, you should avoid outdoor activities, especially for babies who are sick and weak, the outdoor heat will increase the incidence of deficiency. For babies with fever, it is recommended to give 100 ml of physiological saline (mineral water + a chopstick tip of edible salt) at noon. 7, pay attention to the nourishment of Yin and moisten dryness after the heat of the day and night temperature difference, less precipitation, low air humidity, is in the alternating period from hot to cool, the natural Yang Qi from the drainage tends to convergence, the body’s Yin and Yang Qi Sheng and decline also changed. But the weather has not yet appeared in the true sense of the autumn cool, at this time the sunny afternoon heat is no less than the summer season, so people often say “autumn tiger, poisonous as a tiger”. This time the baby is prone to dry mouth and nose, dry throat and lips anxiety dryness, may wish to eat more porridge, silver ears, autumn pear and other dry food. Babies with a dry cough condition, because of the lack of fluid on the mucous membranes, resulting in lower immunity, you can use black fungus, yam, cod liver oil, a variety of leafy greens, sugar cane juice, water chestnuts, lotus seeds, lotus root powder and other foods to nourish the yin, eat a handful of nuts that the baby’s small hands can grasp every day in moderation, is also good. 8, to ensure that the baby take a good nap sleep for adults, with the elimination of fatigue, protect the brain, enhance immunity, promote development and facilitate the role of beauty. For babies, sleep so that the body to get rest, physical strength to restore, especially important for the growth of babies, because “growth hormone” is the most secreted when the sleep is fragrant. In addition, meridian sleep for babies is mainly to improve the body’s immune function, reproductive function, improve mental status, enhance memory. Ziwu time is just the time when yin and yang meet, when the body’s yin and yang Shengyang decay, resulting in imbalance of Qi and blood, so must lie still to the. Modern research believes that the night zero hours to 4 a.m. the next day, the function of the organs in the body are down to the lowest point; 12:00 noon to 13:00, is the most fatigue of the human sympathetic nerve time, these two periods can best go to sleep.
