What should you pay attention to before letting your baby swim?

Many parents like to take their babies swimming. The swimming locations are mainly swimming pools in maternity and baby stores, or professional baby swimming pools. Babies are timid and their bodies are also limited, so they have to pay attention to many requirements when swimming, otherwise it will affect the baby's health. So what should babies pay attention to before swimming? Babies should do warm-up exercises before swimming, and then adjust the water temperature to prevent babies from getting sick due to improper water temperature. The detailed precautions are:

1. The best time for babies to swim is 40 minutes before feeding, and each swimming session is generally 10 to 30 minutes. The indoor temperature requirements are generally maintained at: Summer: 22 to 24 degrees, Winter: 26 to 28 degrees. The water temperature in the swimming tank is generally required to be maintained at: 37 to 38 degrees in summer, 39 to 40 degrees in winter. The depth of water in a baby swimming pool depends on the height of the baby, so that the baby is in a suspended state after entering the swimming tank, and his feet do not touch the bottom of the swimming tank. The temperature should be controlled evenly when adding water. Generally, add cold water first, then hot water, and stir well to keep the water temperature consistent above and below the pool. Try to place floating toys with bright colors, different shapes and stimulating sounds in the pool for your baby to play with while swimming. The environment is arranged so that the baby is as close to the picture as possible, and a wind chime is placed on the top.

2. The baby needs to be supervised by the operator throughout the swimming process, and the guardian should keep a certain safe distance from the baby to prevent sudden accidents. When the baby is swimming, the guardian should communicate with the baby sincerely and encourage and praise the baby from time to time. When swimming, guardians should not just hold the collar to move the baby in the water, but should hold the baby's hands.

To move the baby slowly.

3. Before using the baby swimming neck ring, a safety check should be carried out, such as whether the model matches, whether the safety buckle is fastened, and whether there is any leakage. Put the collar around the baby's neck, and make sure the baby's ears and lower jaw are exposed on the collar and the straps are fastened and firmly attached.

4. Before swimming each time, expose the baby's body, pay attention to the baby's navel, and make preparations for warm-up massage before swimming. Be sure to perform baby swimming exercises when your baby is in a happy mood. Before a newborn baby swims, he or she must first learn the correct use of the waterproof navel sticker. Pay attention to check whether the swimming tank and neck ring have any leaks and whether the inflation degree is appropriate to ensure the baby's swimming safety.

5. According to the size of the baby, pay attention to the model of the inner diameter of the baby swimming ring. The newborn baby should wear the swimming ring and enter the water gradually and slowly. After swimming, take off the baby's swimming ring quickly and gently, and then wipe off the water marks.

6. When putting the baby into the swimming tank, be gentle to avoid making the baby nervous. After entering the water, let the baby swim freely and pay attention to changes in the baby's complexion and skin color to ensure the baby's comfort level. When the baby is swimming, be careful to prevent the baby from choking on water or getting water into the mouth and nose or ears. Playing soft music while swimming can create a relaxing environment for your baby.

7. After the baby finishes swimming, immediately wipe his whole body dry with a special baby bath towel, paying attention to the treatment of his head and face, especially the eyes, ears, nose, navel and other parts. Please feed your baby 15 to 20 minutes after each swimming session to relieve your baby's fatigue. After swimming, remove the waterproof umbilical patch from the newborn, disinfect the umbilical cord twice with iodine disinfectant or 75% ethanol solution, and bandage it with an umbilical cord.
