Winter Newborn Care

Autumn and winter are the seasons when newborns are born in large numbers, but because the temperature is lower in autumn and winter, they are also the two seasons when newborns are prone to catching colds. Especially in winter, parents must adopt special newborn care methods, otherwise the newborn's body movements will easily cause a cold, which will hinder the newborn's physical development. So how should parents properly care for newborns in winter?

1. Temperature care

The first thing to consider in newborn care in winter is temperature care so that the newborn can grow at a suitable temperature. Therefore, when caring for newborns in winter, it is best to keep the temperature around the newborn at around 24 degrees Celsius. The indoor temperature should not be too high, because this will cause the baby's body temperature to rise with the increase in room temperature, and at the same time cause dehydration.

2. Skin care

The skin of a newborn is very tender, and the wrinkles of the baby's skin are very prone to inflammation and erosion. Therefore, skin care is very important when caring for newborns in winter.

3. Clothing care

The choice of temperature is still very important for newborns. At a room temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, newborns only need to wear cotton coats and small cotton shirts, which can prevent the newborns from getting cold and also prevent them from feeling overheated.

4. Environmental care

When taking care of their newborns in winter, many mothers are afraid that the newborns will catch a cold, so they always keep the room tightly closed. In fact, the room where newborns live needs to be ventilated in winter. The circulation of indoor air will not only not harm the newborns, but also help them breathe smoothly.

What should you pay attention to when feeding your child in winter?

1. It is recommended to breastfeed newborn babies in winter. Winter is a high-incidence period for various diseases such as respiratory tract infections, and the antibodies contained in breast milk can help babies reduce the possibility of illness. Mothers who have the conditions should insist on breastfeeding their babies.

2. Mothers should pay attention to keeping warm when breastfeeding. The body temperature of mothers is likely to drop when breastfeeding, which can easily cause a cold. Therefore, even in an air-conditioned room, use a blanket to cover exposed parts of your body. Ensure the mother's health so as not to affect the baby's health.

3. The leftover milk powder for the baby cannot be saved for the next meal. The prepared milk powder should not be kept in the refrigerator for more than 24 hours if it has not been eaten, and at room temperature for no more than 2 hours. If there is any food left after eating, it should be thrown away and not saved for the next meal for the baby.

In winter, it is not only necessary to dress children well, but also to pay a lot of attention to their diet. We have included some precautions on feeding above. In fact, for every parent, no matter what season the child is born, they should take good care of the child and pay attention to all aspects. Newborns have poor resistance and are prone to diseases, so everyone should pay more attention.
