Protect your baby from the scorching heat!
On hot summer days, it is very dangerous for a child to play in the sun during the day. Scientists say that from 11:00 a.m. to 15:00 p.m., sunlight can have a negative effect on human skin, and in children, this effect is even more pronounced. But in the summer, children do not want to enter the house from the street…
Ways to protect the child from harmful sunlight on hot summer days
☑️1. Don’t let your child play outside from 11:00 to 15:00 when sunlight is most harmful. If you have to go anywhere during this time, try walking in the shade.
☑️2. On hot summer days, give your child frequent fluids. Even if the child does not ask for water, give him boiled water. Juices and lemonades do not quench thirst, carbonated or mineral water is just right.
☑️3. Pay attention to the child's clothes. On summer days, the child should walk in clothes made of natural fabrics. The best are clothes made of cotton fibers. Synthetic fabrics can cause unpleasant irritation on the skin of a child sweating from the heat.
☑️4. Children's shoes should also be comfortable and made of natural materials. Do not give the child an open back "slap". First, it leads to deformation of the growing legs, and secondly, the child's gait becomes a waterfall. Often children will drop such shoes during play. Shoes in the form of sandals are the best choice.
☑️5. When you go swimming or swimming in the sea, be sure to apply a special sunscreen (SPF) to the child. As the baby's skin is very delicate, it is necessary to take the cream according to its age. Adult cream is not suitable. Remember to apply the cream to the bialn body from time to time even after immersion. Also wear a light hat on the child’s head around the sea and pool where sunlight is common.
☑️6. Some parents bring sunglasses to their child. In fact, cheap glasses with dark glasses sold on the street do not protect the child's eyes from the sun. It's just a toy. Conversely, the pupil dilates as the child looks through the darkened glass, resulting in more extensive damage to the eye from the sun’s rays.
If your child is really old enough to want to wear glasses and not accept it as a toy, then you can give him glasses that protect him from real sunlight. Such glasses contain information about 60% -100% protection from UVA, UVB rays, and their price is also much higher.
☑️7. Try not to enter an air-conditioned room with a sweaty child. The child may catch a cold quickly.
☑️8. Make sure that the baby does not sweat on a hot day. A child's body temperature rises and he suffers more from the heat.
☑️9. Be extremely careful about what your child eats during the summer. Dysentery often spreads in the summer. Ensure that fruits and vegetables are stored in the refrigerator and that the food is only fresh. Be careful that the child does not eat stale bitter things. Remember to wash your hands before eating.
☑️10. Make sure the child has diarrhea in the heat. Sometimes diarrhea can be a sign of a serious illness.
Create conditions for your child to enjoy the summer without harming himself.
