Is foot bath suitable for children?

As people’s work pressure increases in modern society, many friends working in the service industry have this kind of distress.

So is foot soaking suitable for children? Please discuss this with me in the following time.

Therefore, young parents should pay attention to keeping their baby's feet warm regardless of summer or winter. Even in the hot summer, the baby needs to wear well-fitting socks to prevent gusts of wind or electric fans from blowing directly on the feet. In winter, whether the baby is taking a nap or sleeping at night, the feet should not be exposed outside the quilt to avoid catching a cold.

Many parents pay great attention to washing their baby's feet. Because washing feet not only removes dirt from the feet, but is also a way to keep fit. Someone once described it like this: washing feet in spring can raise yang and strengthen the body; washing feet in summer can remove summer heat and dampness; washing feet in autumn can moisten the lungs and intestines; washing feet in winter can warm the dantian. Wash your baby's feet every day, and through the massage and stimulation of water and hands on the feet, you can achieve the effects of relaxing the meridians, activating the collaterals, preventing and curing diseases, and keeping fit.

So are there any particular requirements for the water temperature and amount when washing feet?

Yes, warm water is needed all year round. In summer, the temperature of foot washing water can generally be between 38-40℃. In winter, the temperature of foot washing water can be gradually increased, generally between 45~50℃. The amount of water used for foot washing should be enough to immerse the entire foot in warm water, and the soaking time should be maintained for 3 to 5 minutes. Soaking and washing your feet in warm water for a long time can dilate the capillaries on the surface of the foot skin, accelerate blood circulation, improve the nutrition of the foot skin and tissue, increase local resistance, promote baby's sleep, and help their growth and development.

Does not wearing socks cause diarrhea in babies?

Ms. Qiao’s baby is 8 months old. Recently, the child’s stomach has been in trouble and he suffers from diarrhea very often. Tests at the hospital did not reveal any infection. Guessing that the baby had diarrhea due to a cold, Ms. Qiao bought a cotton bellyband for the baby to wear, but the baby's diarrhea symptoms did not improve much. Yesterday morning, Ms. Qiao took leave from her work and took her baby to Zhengzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital, where she found Liu Qingqin, the chief pediatrician on duty. Liu Qingqin looked at the test results and then at the child, who was wearing thick clothes but had bare feet. She knew what was going on.
