Newborn babies are actually relatively uncomfortable and may have uncomfortable reactions to the external environment. The newborn should be wrapped in clothes or quilts after birth. You can also wear soft socks for your baby to better protect your baby's skin. If the temperature is high, you can avoid wearing socks, but also pay attention to keeping warm.
Newborn (within one month after birth)
Newborn babies are wrapped after birth, and the indoor temperature is higher than 22 degrees Celsius without socks.
Premature infants (born before 37 weeks)
Premature infants are relatively weak. Mothers usually need to keep their babies warm by holding them in front of their chest. They like kangaroo care, so they don't need to wear socks.
Infant (0-3 years old)
At this time, the baby can wear or not wear socks. If children are used to wearing socks, they should wear socks every day. I never have the habit of wearing socks, otherwise my baby will always take off after putting on socks. Don't wear them for the time being. The main purpose is to ensure relatively stable care, and try not to change too much in the way of care to reduce the risk of infant disease.
Over three years old
After the age of three, infants' language ability tends to improve. When his feet are cold, he will tell his mother that he will decide whether to wear socks according to the needs of the child.
Experts believe that barefoot play is a good exercise for children on the premise that babies will not catch cold. It can not only improve psychology, but also prevent disease and keep fit.
Wear socks
Depending on the individual, some infants are still reluctant to wear socks, so socks are the best choice:
1. A weak child
Compared with their peers at the same age and temperature, some infants have poor physique since childhood and are more afraid of colds. Wear socks to protect your feet and keep them warm.
2. Cold hands and feet
Some babies' hands and feet are cold, but they are still cold when they sleep in bed. Such babies tend to catch cold and cannot sleep at night. Wearing socks and maintaining a certain temperature can alleviate this phenomenon.
3. Infants less than one month old
Angels who are less than 10 months pregnant need good care. Because the baby's body is not well developed, it is difficult for blood circulation to reach the feet. You can wear small socks to keep your feet warm.
No socks
Directly stepping on the ground will bring a new feeling to the baby. Direct contact with the ground also benefits your feet:
1. Keep healthy
A walking baby walks barefoot on the floor, completely exposed to sunlight, air, temperature and other natural sensations. The blood circulation of the feet becomes faster, the metabolism of the whole body is accelerated, and the immunity is enhanced.
2. Anti-flat feet
Barefoot walking can make the baby feel the ground better. He will bend his toes to grasp the ground, and the peripheral nerves under his feet will also feel the stimulation of the ground, so as to better sense the changes of the ground. This series of tactile stimulation to the brain is conducive to the development of the baby's tactile sense. If the tactile sense of the foot cannot develop well, the result is that some people are prone to fall or trip when they grow up. Barefoot is very important to exercise the flexibility of ankle joint. The flexibility of the ankle joint is poor. If you walk a lot, the arch of your foot will become hard or even deformed, and it is easy to fatigue. Frequent barefoot walking can improve the flexibility of the ankle joint and prevent the foot from flattening.
3. Promoting development
The baby is still young and doesn't know hard, soft, slippery and thick things. They always use their bodies to perceive and recognize them. The baby's feet touch different objects, different temperatures and different materials, which can stimulate the rich tactile nerves on the foot and improve the baby's body coordination ability.
preventive measure
1. Loose: When choosing socks, please try to choose larger socks, and the hose should not be too long. The baby's skin is very delicate and the socks are too tight to strangle the baby.
2. Comfort: some socks are sewn together on the toes. This kind of sock is easy to be squeezed, and there will be thin lines inside, which can easily lead to poor blood circulation. You'd better buy "one breath" socks. The toes and bottom of socks are thick, comfortable and warm.
3. Light color: When choosing socks, mothers will try to choose light color. Socks that are too bright or too heavy contain a lot of pigment. Lighter colors should be preferred when purchasing.
4. Clean the ground: children like to run on the ground without socks. Ensure that the ground is clean and deal with sharp objects immediately to ensure safety
