Therefore, we should do a good job in sun protection, clothing and ventilation, timely hydration and other measures to let children spend the summer safely and play happily! Here are some tips to prevent heatstroke.
1. Avoid the scorching sun: Try not to take the baby out at noon, when the sun is strongest. It is more appropriate to go out in the morning or evening when the temperature is low. Children will be playful and say that they are not hot. Parents must judge the weather accurately and never bask in the sun for too long for fun. When going out for camping and other activities, you should also try to choose mountainous areas with dense forests. It is best to have streams, and you can avoid heatstroke by playing with water all the way!
2. Dress appropriately: dress your baby in breathable and loose clothes, and choose fabrics with light texture and good hygroscopicity. Don't forget to wear a hat and use a sunshade, and get an extra sun protection. The sun protection clothing shown below can perfectly solve the problem of dressing in summer. It is breathable and enough to shade the sun. It is enough for the baby to wear a vest to absorb sweat, so as to prevent the sun protection clothing fabric from being affected by sweat.
3. Apply sunscreen: It is necessary to apply sunscreen! Choose products with high SPF value that can protect UVA and UVB. Remember to reapply it every two hours, especially after playing with water or strenuous exercise. It should be noted that children's sunscreen must be used, because the safety standards of production are different, and the ingredients of children's sunscreen are safer and gentler. Don't give your baby adult sunscreen just to save trouble!
4. Drink water in time: the baby is easy to dehydrate, so be sure to bring enough water with you and feed the baby at any time when necessary. Especially after sweating or strenuous exercise. Some babies don't like drinking water, so they can choose a kettle with their baby and agree on the amount of water to be completed every time they go out, so that the baby will take the initiative to drink water!
5. Avoid the sun: When doing outdoor activities, try to choose a cool place to rest and avoid being exposed to the sun for a long time. Even if you are outdoors, you should try to avoid direct sunlight and choose a shady place to play, because in summer, under direct sunlight, your body temperature will rise quickly, and children are very active, which makes you very prone to heatstroke.
6. Choose the right food: provide your baby with water-rich foods, such as watermelons, oranges and other fruits, as well as light vegetables and food. Try to avoid greasy and spicy food. In addition to adequate hydration, you can prepare some fruits to eat outdoors, because the sugar in fruits is a very easily absorbed electrolyte, which will make it easier to replenish water to the body and prevent heatstroke caused by lack of water.
The above are some common tips to prevent your baby from heatstroke, I hope it will help you! Remember to make adjustments according to the actual situation and the baby's needs. If you have symptoms of heatstroke, seek medical attention in time and take appropriate first aid measures. Have a nice summer!
