What are some common health tips for children in autumn?

In autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the climate is relatively dry, and children's adaptability is relatively poor. At this time, parents should pay more attention to all aspects of their children's lives. Now let’s listen to the doctor’s answer to the question of what are the common health tips for children in autumn.

1. Give your baby plenty of water

The weather is clear and cool in autumn, so babies should drink more boiled water and avoid beverages. If your baby is averse to plain water, you can try drinking some chrysanthemum tea, black plum soup, honeysuckle dew, etc. In kindergarten, teachers should especially remind children to drink more water. Normally, for babies who are breastfed, the water content in the milk is enough to meet their needs. If there is enough breast milk, there is no need to supplement with water even in the summer.

2. Healthy diet

When providing meals for your baby, you should try to ensure that the variety, proportion, quantity and timing of meals are appropriate, and the preparation is proper. This includes ensuring that your baby gets enough protein, an appropriate amount of fat, and various vitamins and minerals every day. Your baby's daily diet should be regular and quantitative. Eating on time can help your baby develop good eating habits, and the secretion of gastrointestinal digestive juices will become regular, which can help digest and absorb food well. It is also important to eat in moderation at each meal. If you let your child eat whatever is delicious, it is likely to damage the spleen and stomach.

3. Pay attention to cleaning

When you get up in the morning, use a soft towel or gauze soaked in warm water to wipe your baby's face. After cleaning the face, apply baby lotion or cream to moisturize it in time. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the facial features, especially the key area around the mouth, thoroughly clean after just finishing feeding or eating. Don't use a rough towel to wipe your baby's face, and don't use alkaline soap to clean your baby. Give your baby a warm bath before going to bed every night, and wipe the baby's butt with a baby-specific soft wipe. It can not only clean the baby, but also moisturize the baby, effectively preventing the occurrence of diaper rash.

4. Choose appropriate skin care products

Do not use alkaline or highly degreasing soaps and bath gels when bathing. It is best to use baby bath gel specially designed and produced for babies. Bath gel should not be used too frequently, once a week is sufficient. Among moisturizing products, moisturizing creams and body balms are better at moisturizing than body lotions because they have a high oil content and a low water content. Children with dry skin can use moisturizer, while those with milder skin can use lotion.

5. Pay attention to hygiene and prevent diarrhea

When babies suddenly have diarrhea in autumn, the disease is mostly of "cold" nature, because the baby's body temperature regulation function is not perfect and it is easy to catch cold. If the baby happens to eat unhygienic food, especially food contaminated with "rotavirus", diarrhea will often occur. Ordinary antibiotics can control diarrhea but are often ineffective because antibiotics can only kill bacteria but not viruses. Therefore, special attention should be paid to food cleanliness in autumn, especially fruits and vegetables should be washed thoroughly before feeding them to babies and not too much.

6. Cold water bath

Cold water baths can exercise your resistance to cold and improve your immunity. Autumn is a transitional season between summer and winter, and it is a time to exercise your resistance to cold. In order to improve the immune function of children's tissues and organs, increase the body's resistance to cold, and thereby reduce diseases that are prone to occur in winter such as colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc. Cold water scrubbing includes washing hands, face, body, showering and swimming with cold water.

I believe that after reading the above content, everyone already knows what are the common knowledge about children's health in autumn. Every child is an angel of his or her parents. I hope that every parent can take good care of their children in autumn and let them have a healthy body.
