How to tell if your baby is hot or cold?

Most parents do not know how to dress their newborn babies. It is spring now, and although the weather is getting warmer and adults are wearing fewer clothes, adults should not dress babies according to the adult clothing index. After all, babies are delicate and fragile. You must pay attention to the baby's temperature to avoid catching a cold. Some parents are afraid that their children will be cold, so they dress their babies more. This may cause frequent rashes on the baby's skin. When the weather is hot, adults think that the child will feel hot, so they take off their clothes as well. This makes the baby prone to catching a cold. If you don't know whether the baby is cold or warm, it will be difficult for the mother to dress the baby correctly.

1. Hands and feet

The peripheral circulation of newborn babies is not fully developed, and their hands and feet are cold. Uninformed parents think their children are cold and wrap them in thick quilts, which can easily cause rashes on their children.

2. Touch the neck or vest

Only by touching these two parts can you accurately judge the child's hot or cold condition, add appropriate amount of clothes for the child, and loosen or remove clothes according to the temperature difference between morning and evening to prevent the child from developing eczema.

3. Blushing

When the baby's face is as red as a small tomato, you should take off his clothes a little, as this is a sign of a rash. At this time, the baby's hands and feet will most likely be warm. If you don't pay attention, small red spots will start to appear.

4. Baby sneezes

Babies sneeze not because they have a cold, but because they have not grown nose hair yet. When they encounter cold air, they will sneeze. It is a kind of self-protection for babies. Once the baby adapts, he will no longer sneeze.

5. Notes

Usually parents will touch their children's hands and feet to determine whether they are cold or hot, but the hands and feet do not reflect accurate data. When sleeping, children's hands and feet will not stay under the quilt obediently. In winter, even if they cover themselves more, they will still feel a little cool due to the low indoor temperature; in summer, they may feel a little hot due to the high temperature. If parents add clothes to their children based on this feeling, they will definitely make mistakes. Moreover, hands and feet are at the end of the loop, and the data reflected will also cause some signal loss due to the long transmission distance. Relatively speaking, the temperature data reflected by the back of the neck will be more accurate.
