What should newborns cover when sleeping in summer

In summer, the weather is quite hot, which is why many people don’t like to cover themselves with blankets. However, it is necessary to cover newborns with a quilt. After all, newborns have relatively poor resistance and need to sleep for a longer time. If the quilt is not covered properly, the child may develop various diseases. So, what kind of quilt is better for newborns in summer?

Towel Blanket

The best choice for babies to sleep in summer is to cover them with a towel blanket. Compared with a large quilt, a towel blanket is not as thick and is easy to absorb sweat and breathable. Compared with letting the baby sleep naked, a towel blanket has a certain warmth-retaining effect.

Parents should remember: Don't strip your baby naked to sleep just because the weather is hot. Don’t think that this is cool and easy. In fact, sleeping naked can easily cause the baby’s abdomen to catch a cold.

Air conditioning

In summer, babies can also cover themselves with air-conditioning quilts when sleeping. Air-conditioning quilts are the most popular choice among people in summer. Air-conditioned quilts are lighter and thinner, and are more popular with children. Generally speaking, it is the best choice when the air conditioner or air conditioner is turned on in the room.

Suggestion: In order to avoid sweating, parents are advised not to dress the baby too thickly when the baby is sleeping. A single layer of thin long-sleeved shirt is enough. It is also fine for children who sweat easily to wear short sleeves. Then prepare a towel blanket or air-conditioning blanket and cover the child to the extent that the child does not sweat.

Thin Quilt

Target: Babies tend to sweat easily and wake up due to the heat when sleeping in air-conditioned rooms in summer, so many families will turn on the air conditioner or cooling while the baby is sleeping. To prevent the baby from catching a cold, parents can cover the baby with a thin quilt when the baby sleeps. This has the same effect as an air conditioner. It’s just that a thin cotton quilt is heavier than an air-conditioning quilt, and can give the baby a greater sense of security.

Air-conditioned rooms are usually very dry. You can consider putting a basin of water in the room to increase the humidity, but this effect is actually very small. If you want your child to replenish water, it is best to let him drink water. If the child is in an air-conditioned room, then you need to remind the child to drink water frequently. If the child is sleeping, then he should replenish water quickly after waking up. In addition to boiled water, children can also eat more fresh fruits and vegetables in summer to increase nutrition while replenishing water.
