Parents know that colds happen from hypothermia or overheating and subsequent hypothermia. It is important to dress the child so that he does not freeze, but also does not sweat. An approximate scheme of clothes at different temperatures will help you avoid unnecessary problems.
❄ +5/-5
Long-sleeve T-shirt, overalls with a membrane or synthetic winterizer, winter shoes for tights, woolen mittens or gloves, a hat made of wool or mixed with acrylic.
❄ -5/-10
Underwear or thermal underwear, thin turtleneck, jumpsuit filled with polyester or membrane, winter shoes for tights, woolen hat, woolen mittens or leggings.
❄ -10/-15
Underwear or thermal underwear, suit made of fleece or wool, overalls filled with polyester or down. We put on a hood in case of strong wind. Winter shoes - felt boots or winter boots on a woolen sock or thermal sock. Waterproof or woolen mittens with fur.
❄ -15/-25
Everything is the same, but walks are limited in time: no more than an hour in calm weather, no more than half an hour with wind. Children under one year at temperatures below -15 do not walk.
When using the scheme, do not forget that all children are different, pay attention to the individual characteristics of the child.
A few more important tips:
❄ Moms, please note: if your baby has a membrane overalls or shoes, tights and underwear under them must contain synthetics.
❄ About thermal underwear: for passive walks, thermal underwear containing at least 40% natural fabrics is suitable. For active ones, the admixture of synthetics should be overwhelming. Thermal underwear is used only for walking!
❄ Even in severe frosts, in any case, do not cover your child's mouth with a scarf or handkerchief. Nature decreed that the child breathes normally in any cold.
❄ For going to the store, use a separate overall (set) so that the child can take off the jacket. Take off your hat and scarf to keep your child from sweating.
❄ You can determine if the child is cold by the bridge of the nose, neck and skin above the feet and hands. Rosy cheeks and nose are a sign of health and having a great time, not freezing. Blood must rush to the face so that it does not freeze.
