What kind of quilt should a newborn baby cover in winter

In winter, the weather is very cold. Even if you stay in a warm room, you will choose to lie on the bed and cover yourself with a thick quilt, which makes you feel most comfortable. However, for newborns, covering them with too thick a quilt will not only cause them to get angry, but also make it difficult for them to turn over, and it is likely to make the baby breathless. So what kind of quilt is more suitable for newborns in winter?

1. The quilt should not be too heavy

If the quilt is too heavy on the baby, it will make the baby feel uncomfortable and oppressive, making it difficult for the baby to breathe and not suitable for the baby to move. The baby will instinctively want to kick it away, want it away, and keep it away from his body. Therefore, parents should not prepare quilts that are too heavy for their babies.

2. The quilt should not be too thick

Many parents are afraid that their children will feel cold, so they will choose very thick quilts when preparing quilts for their babies. As a result, the child caught a cold and fell ill from kicking off the quilt. If the quilt is too thick, children will sweat easily. Babies' metabolism is faster than that of adults, so they sweat easily. After sweating, the baby feels hot and will naturally kick off the quilt. It is normal to get sick if you sweat and then kick off the quilt and catch a cold.

3. Pay attention to the temperature

Parents can pay more attention to the indoor temperature to choose quilts for their babies. The most suitable bedroom temperature is 20℃-23℃, while the bed temperature between 32℃~34℃ is conducive to sleep. Therefore, parents must ensure the temperature of their children's bedroom and quilt so that their children can have a good sleep. In the cold winter, parents may wish to warm the quilt before their children go to bed. This will not only allow the children to have a high-quality sleep, but also prevent colds.

4. The quilt should be large

The baby's quilt must be larger so that it is convenient for the baby to roll back and forth without letting in wind. The baby will not catch a cold, so parents may wish to make a bigger quilt for the baby.

5. Sleep is very important for your baby's growth

Having a good sleep quality is beneficial to the baby's brain development and physical development. Therefore, parents should pay attention to their baby's sleep and create a good sleeping environment for their baby. The choice of quilt must be suitable for the baby's needs and growth. In addition, the baby's quilt should be exposed to the sun regularly, which can make the baby sleep more comfortably.

6How to choose a quilt for a newborn baby in winter

The sheets and quilts that come into direct contact with the baby's skin should preferably be made of pure cotton. Cotton products absorb sweat, have good breathability, and are less irritating to baby's skin. It is best to choose light-colored fabrics for the surface of the bedding, and the cotton batting should be made of clean cotton or acrylic cotton products. The quilt should not be too thick or too big. Generally, each quilt should weigh about one pound and the size should be suitable for the baby's crib.

It is necessary to prepare several quilts for your baby so that they can be washed and changed easily, and you can add or remove them as the seasons change. In spring and autumn, you can cover your baby with a thin blanket, and in winter, you can cover him with an extra blanket. You can also prepare 2 to 3 small quilt covers, which are not only convenient for changing and washing, but can also be used as quilts. Or prepare two blankets for children and increase or decrease the number as the temperature changes.

7 How much quilt is suitable for newborns in winter?

The baby's own body temperature regulation function is not yet fully developed, so it is easy to lose heat. Moreover, babies do not shiver when they are cold, and their bodies cannot generate enough heat when they are too cold. Therefore, you must pay attention to keep your baby warm. However, at the same time, because his ability to regulate body temperature is limited, overheating can also affect his health, so he should not be kept too warm.

To judge whether the thickness of the quilt you cover your baby is appropriate, you can gently touch the back of the baby's neck. If it feels slightly warm, it means the baby is warm enough. Some new mothers think that warm hands mean the quilt is appropriate. In fact, since the baby's heart contraction force is weaker than that of an adult, and relatively less blood reaches the extremities when the baby is quiet, the fingers and toes will be slightly cooler under normal circumstances. If your baby's hands and feet are always warm when he is quiet, it probably means that the clothes you dress him in or the bedding he uses is too thick.
