Tips on dressing your baby in winter

Everyone has different choices of clothing in winter. Adults generally choose simple winter clothes to keep warm. For young babies, they cannot choose clothing casually, otherwise it will have a great impact on the baby's body. So how to choose clothes for babies in winter? There are some good ways. The following is a detailed introduction to let mothers know how to dress their babies.

Winter baby dressing tips:

Tip 1: Make sure to put on underwear for your baby

Some mothers believe that babies will sweat a lot if they keep moving. If the sweat wets the underwear, it is better not to wear it. Just wear thick clothes on the outside to keep warm. Little do people know that soft cotton underwear can not only absorb sweat, but also keep air around the skin, thus blocking the loss of body heat and making it less likely for babies to catch cold and get sick. Babies who do not wear close-fitting underwear lose a lot of heat from the body surface, so they always feel cold to the touch, especially the lower body, so it's no wonder they are prone to colds.

Tip 2: Wear the right amount of clothes, don’t sweat too much

If the baby wears too many clothes, he will sweat profusely once he moves, which will cause the blood vessels in the skin to dilate, increase the blood flow to the skin, and thus increase the heat dissipation. The baby sweats a lot and his clothes are soaked with sweat, which causes him to catch a cold. It also reduces the body's ability to adapt to changes in external temperature and reduces its resistance to disease. Since babies under 6 months old have a relatively large body surface area and dissipate more heat, but their body's heat production capacity is insufficient, they should still remember to wear more clothes when going out in the cold. To judge whether the baby is wearing appropriate clothes, you can touch his hands and feet frequently. As long as they are not cold, it means his body is warm.

Tip 3: Give your baby a light cotton coat

It is windproof and warm, and can keep you warmer than wearing several thick clothes, and it is also flexible and convenient for movement.

Because there is fluffy cotton between the inner and outer layers of the cotton jacket, it can absorb a lot of air. The heat emitted by the skin's body temperature first penetrates the inner layer of the jacket, and then seeps into the middle layer of cotton, is absorbed by multiple layers of air and surrounds the skin, while the outer layer of the jacket is not easy for cold air to invade, so it has a good warming effect. Thick outer coats do not have more space to absorb and hold warm air. They may be able to block the wind, but they are much worse than small cotton jackets in keeping out the cold and keeping warm.

Tip 4: Don’t wear fleece clothes and trousers inside out

Fleece coats and trousers are usually made of fleece knitted fabric, which is soft, fluffy and very warm. Some mothers wear them inside out for their babies. However, if you wear it inside out, the hair will quickly become sticky and hard due to sweat and sebum. If you rub it vigorously when washing, it will make the situation worse and the warming effect will be weakened. Please remember; when washing, use both hands to gently remove excess water, dry the wool surface facing out, and gently rub it with your hands after it is dried. This will keep the wool surface fluffy and soft. Do not rub it hard.

By understanding the tips for dressing babies in winter, you should follow the above methods when dressing your baby. In order to reduce the harm to the baby's body in winter, you should also reduce the baby's outdoor activities. Winter is also the peak season for colds. Do not take your baby to crowded places, otherwise it is easy to spread some diseases.
