It's hot in summer, and many families will sleep on the summer mat. Xiao Bian reminds parents that they must be careful of the following three diseases when sleeping on the summer mat for their babies.
Scratches
The newly bought sleeping mat may be hard and not smooth, and the baby's skin is thin and tender, which is easy to hurt the baby. In addition, if the bamboo or grass mat is used too long, the surface will produce some small burrs, which may also hurt the skin.
Mat dermatitis
After sleeping on the mat, some babies will feel redness, irritation, pain, and some small red pimples on their backs, waists, and limbs when they touch the mat. The baby will cry restlessly, or even scratch and fester. This is called mat dermatitis.
diarrhea
The baby's own temperature regulation ability is weak, and the baby's adaptability to the cold and hot outside is poor. The cold nature of the mat, combined with the low temperature at night, makes the baby easy to suffer from diarrhea due to abdominal coldness.
To sum up, linen and bamboo fiber mats are the best choices for sleeping mats for babies in summer, and attention should be paid to disinfecting the mats regularly to avoid affecting the health of babies.
