The summer weather is hot, and the scorching heat is unbearable. It is the wish of every mother to let every baby pass through the hot summer safely. So, how to take care of the baby when the weather is hot? In fact, in summer, mothers only need to start with diet, daily life, and heatstroke prevention and cooling.
In summer, the first thing to do is to encourage babies to drink plenty of water. Drinking plenty of plain water not only helps cool down and relieve heat, but also replenishes lost fluids, making it the safest hydration option. Mothers can also boil some mung bean soup in moderation for their babies to drink. Mung bean soup has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, quenching thirst, and reducing heat, but do not drink it excessively. You can also give your baby some seasonal fruits to supplement their vitamin C, which is nutritious and healthy.
In terms of daily life, due to the baby's weak constitution, immature nervous system, and weak temperature regulation function, it is best to choose grass mats or linen mats. Then it's important to take frequent showers. Bathing not only helps the baby cool down, but also helps prevent heatstroke. You can also add some honeysuckle to the bath water to clear heat and dispel summer heat.
Finally, in terms of heatstroke prevention and cooling, if the weather is too hot, you can use a gentle electric fan or air conditioner to cool down. Just let the baby not blow the fan for too long, and the wind speed should not be too high to avoid direct blowing. The room should be regularly ventilated to prevent excessive temperature differences between the inside and outside. Pay attention to keeping the air in the room fresh to prevent the baby from catching a cold.
