I don’t know if everyone has been flashed by this article recently. The director of pediatrics will tell you why. Many readers have left us messages backstage asking if this article is scientific and whether it is really impossible to wear warm underwear for Eva.
Well, the smell of familiar rumors. Search it casually. This article has been forwarded by many marketing numbers and has to be blown up several times every winter.
The article is like this:
Children wearing thermal underwear will be covered with various diseases.
Children must dress less than adults.
You can also follow the dressing formula when wearing clothes in winter.
There is something wrong with what is said, but raising babies is not a problem. Where are there so many [must] and [must]?
We found our old friend Dr. Wu Feifei to help us find the hard wounds in the article.
Rumor: Wearing thermal underwear will make children sick,
It is known that it is not good to wear too much for children, but does it really have anything to do with thermal underwear?
Let’s first take a look at the “Four Crimes of Covering Illness” set for thermal underwear in the explosive article.
1. Wearing hyperhidrosis and skin diseases
Not reliable.
The prickly heat, eczema and pustulosis mentioned in the article are indeed related to wearing more, but they are not necessarily caused by wearing thermal underwear.
Even if you don’t wear warm underwear for your baby, you wear many autumn sweaters or too thick cotton-padded clothes for your baby, it will still lead to skin problems for your baby.
2. Diseases of the genitourinary system with polyuria and oliguria
Not reliable.
There are many reasons for less urine. Overheating and sweating are one kind. It has also been said that the baby’s water intake is insufficient. Thermal underwear is not the absolute cause of the baby’s overheating.
Besides genitourinary system diseases, who said it was caused by less urine? Less urine will increase the probability of urinary system diseases, but it does not mean that thermal underwear will lead to urinary system diseases for babies.
3. Dry stool, constipation, abdominal distension and dyspepsia after wearing multiple anal fissure
Not reliable.
The constipation of the baby is mainly related to diet, or to the baby’s psychology (such as constipation caused by habitual excrement suppression), and has nothing to do with wearing what.
If it is really related, wouldn’t babies with diarrhea be able to wear warm underwear to [dry poop] and even save money on rehydration salts?
4. Wear too much and dry, fever and cough
Not reliable.
Wear a lot in winter. If the child does not change his clothes in time when he is sweating hot, it is easy to cause the baby to catch cold and catch a cold after the sweat is cold, but it is not caused by thermal underwear.
Wear more other clothes, sweat more will also appear. The main reason is whether adults can add or subtract clothes to their children in time.
The conclusion is: thermal underwear is innocent!
Rumor: Children Should Dress Less Than Adults
Children have a strong metabolism and are afraid of heat and not cold, so children must wear less than adults.
The metabolism of children is faster than that of adults, but it does not mean that children must wear less than adults. This also needs to be determined by the temperature at that time and whether the baby wears what-type clothes.
Babies within one month still belong to [newborns] and have poor body temperature regulation ability. As long as the ambient temperature is lower than the comfortable 24 ~ 26 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to wear more.
Older children have different basal metabolic rates and different tolerance to cold.
Different individuals cannot be generalized.
Rumor: Children Have Fixed Dressing Formulas?
According to this formula, the baby can be scientifically dressed according to today’s cold and warm temperature.
This [net red dressing formula] has been seen elsewhere. It sounds like the same thing, but it can’t stand further investigation.
Take the northeast region as an example, the temperature is generally minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. According to the [dressing formula], don’t babies in the northeast have to wear at least five or six down jackets to go out in winter?
It is even more unreliable to measure the degree of heat preservation of clothes by single measurement and compare it with the most comfortable temperature of human body.
For example, we all feel this way. The warmth retention of two thin coats is no worse than that of a thin down. The wearing method of short sleeves + thick down is actually not as warm as that of sweater + thin down.
How to wear the most reliable clothes for Eva in winter,
Having said those unreliable contents, let’s talk about how to wear them for children in winter.
Within one month: Children wear one more (average thickness) dress than adults.
More than one month: Children’s body temperature regulation ability is basically the same as that of adults, and they can dress like adults.
Over three years old: Children often express their changes in temperature. As long as children do not feel cold, there is no need to wear more clothes.
If the child is not good at expression, the most reliable judgment method is [two touches].
- The baby’s peripheral nerves are not fully developed, so it is normal for hands and feet to be cold, and the back is the best judge. If the baby is big, touch the palm and back of the child. If the palms and back are warm (not hot) and do not sweat, it means that the clothes are properly worn.
The child is a living person, not an article. Everything needs to be seen according to the baby’s own situation and cannot be completely raised according to books.
As for thermal underwear, there are not so many problems. It is OK to give a reason not to wear it.
That is-too ugly!
