How should you dress your babies in winter?

It is cold in winter, and babies have poor immunity. Sudden cold or hot will cause many problems. How to dress your babies in winter? Let's learn together.

Dress the baby based on the temperature of the baby's back
Babies who are from 0 to 2 month old can't adjust their own body temperatures. Therefore, they should wear more clothes than their mothers'. Babies who are older than 2 month are relatively more active, so they should wear less clothes than their mothers'. A mother should use her hands to often touch the baby's back to make sure that whether the baby sweats or not. This is a good way to know whether your baby is wearing too many clothes.

Wear light clothing instead of warm clothing
Usually the baby's torso is very warm, but the limbs are cold. The temperature of the torso and limbs differ by 3 to 5 degrees, because the baby's limbs are exposed more often and the limbs have lower temperature than the other parts. We can solve this problem by dressing the baby lighter clothing instead of warm clothing, so that a layer of cold air insulation will be formed between different layers of clothes, keeping the baby warm. 

Do not let the baby's belly warm the diaper
Changing diapers is a common problem in winter. Newborns pee very often, and diapers need to be changed for many times. Most parents wear diapers around the baby's abdomen. The temperature of the diaper is significantly lower than that of the baby's belly. Every time when parents change a baby's diaper, the baby keeps warming diapers with the abdomen, making the baby easily catch a cold.

Do not dress the baby immediately after bathing
Use a towel to wipe your baby's body after your baby finishes having a shower, and don't dress your baby immediately. The baby's temperature is particularly high after bathing, and immediately dressing the baby will make the baby suffer from pediatric sweating. Therefore, dress the baby when the baby's temperature falls to the normal temperature.

Pay attention to the dressing environment
Don't take off the baby's clothes at once when you change the baby's clothes, because the baby can't adapt to the sudden cold air. You need to set up warm dressing space before changing clothes for the baby.

Choose clothes which are easily dressed
There is a great temperature difference between indoor and outdoor during daytime and nighttime in winter, so it's best to choose clothes that are easy to put on and take off for the baby. For example, you can choose a vest. You can immediately take off the baby's vest when the baby sweats. Put on the vest for the baby when the baby is cold. It's not troublesome at all. 

Mothers should pay attention to the above dressing considerations in order to keep your babies away from disease.
