Parents attach great importance to their babies, but some parents lack parenting experience and often do bad things with good intentions. So when taking care of children, we should start from the child's perspective, not take them for granted, nor measure them by our own standards. So, does the thickness of the baby's blanket have an impact?
Covering babies with thick blankets can have adverse effects on them. If the blanket is too thick, it is easy for children to sweat, which can cause them to catch a cold. Many parents are afraid of their children catching a cold, but in fact, children being exposed to heat can also be detrimental to their health. Moreover, if the blanket is too thick, it can easily lead to coverage syndrome.
The central system that regulates body temperature in infants is still in the developmental stage and cannot be effectively regulated. If children are excessively kept warm, it will cause the temperature of the environment they are in to rise sharply, and at this time, they will sweat and breathe faster to dissipate heat. If the child cannot dissipate heat and replenish water in a timely manner, they may experience dehydration, convulsions, and electrolyte imbalances. If severe, it may even cause the child to faint or even die.
If parents notice that their child has facial flushing, crying, restlessness, and irritability, they should consider whether the child's blanket is too thick and immediately check if the child is sweating. If there is still shortness of breath and difficulty, it is necessary to seek medical examination.
