Child's clothes in winter

Of course, the easiest way out in the cold is notto let out a child on the street at all. He can catch a cold, and then - hello, runny nose, hello, cough. However, keeping the child in four walls is impossible - he needs outdoor walks. But remember that the child's winter clothing must match the temperature on the street.

Conditionally it is possible to allocate four winter temperature ranges:

• -5 - + 5 ° C. At this temperature, the child's clothing in winterincludes thermal underwear (pantyhose and long sleeve T-shirt), sintepon overalls, cotton socks, warm boots with a woolen insole, woolen hat and warm gloves.


• -5 to -10 ° C. Child's clothing in winter from the previous setis supplemented with one more layer (for example, a light linen, cotton or synthetic turtleneck). On cotton socks it is better to wear woolen clothes.


• -10 - -15 ° С. Thermal underwear is complemented by a set of clothes fromfleece (artificial fine wool). Woolen socks on top of cotton are mandatory! Warm boots can be replaced with boots or similar shoes. In such weather, the child's winter clothing should include a coveralls for down with a hood, which is thrown over the woolen hat. Gloves are better to prefer mittens - woolen or lined with fur.


• -15 - -23 ° С. But in this weather it is better to stay at home. If you still decide to go out with your child to the street, then the child's clothing in winter should be the same as in the previous case - an extra layer is unlikely to help. You need to take extra precautions - smear the child's cheeks with fatty cream and shorten the walk time.

Well, if the child's winter clothing includes thermal underwear. Initially, such underwear was part of the militaryequipment, but now in frosts it is worn by both children and adults. Material for thermal underwear - a mixture of synthetics and wool. Synthetics displays excess moisture, and wool retains heat. Thanks to this, the child will be warm, and he will remain dry, even if he will actively run and play.

If a child is allergic to wool, thermal underwear may not suit him. Then the child's clothing in winter instead of thermal underwear should include a long sleeve T-shirt, a turtleneck or a sweater from flax or cotton with an admixture of synthetics. Pure cotton is not recommended to use - it absorbs moisture too well and cools.

The child's clothing in winter is subject to the principle of "plusone "if the child is less than half a year.This means that the number of layers of clothing a child should be more than your one layer.The older and more active the child, the less you need to wrap it up - it will not freeze if it moves a lot. If the clothes are tight, the blood will not circulate normally, and this increases the risk of frostbite. Do not forget that The highest heat emission - at the head, hands and feet. Therefore, it is especially important to take care of a warm hat, scarf, mittens and shoes.

When you are with a child indoors, he does notshould sweat and overheat, so you need to immediately take off his extra clothes. The same applies to the fees for a walk. First, parents dress up, so that the dressed child does not stand and sweat while they gather. If you bring a sweating child to the street - he almost certainly will get cold.

Even if you are sure that the child's clothes have been properly picked up in the winter, you must constantly watch for a walk so that the child does not freeze and overheat. Your child is okay if he has:

• rosy cheeks - it means that the blood circulates normally;


• cool nose and cheeks (but not ice);


• cool hands, a priest and a back (but again, not ice);


• the child does not complain about the cold.

If the child froze, it can be determined by such characteristics:

• red nose and pale cheeks;


• cold neck, bridge of the nose, arms above the wrist;


• ice feet (often they are very quickly cooled because of too tight shoes);


• the child himself says that he is frozen (believe me, the frozen child will not be silent).

If the child overheated and sweated, you can find out by:

• warm face at a temperature below -8 ° C;


• very warm and moist neck and back;


• too warm hands and feet.

A frozen or overheated child needs take home. If your child's legs are sweating, put on a light, dry socks, if you are frozen - put a pair of warm woolen socks on him.
