Autumn is a season associated with rain and colds. They are caused by an increase in the viral load on the body, frequent changes in weather, and contact with people sneezing and coughing everywhere.
If you want your baby's body to demonstrate better resistance to adverse external factors, react more easily to temperature fluctuations, and grow up strong and healthy, engage in hardening.
You can instill this healthy habit in your child at any time of the year.
Hardening is usually divided into three types: solar, water and air. And if the sun is in short supply in autumn, then there is plenty of water and air.
Take air baths
Let the child spend some time without clothes at home. At first, air baths should be taken for 2-3 minutes, gradually increasing the time to 15-20 minutes.
You should also gradually reduce the room temperature from 22-23 degrees to 18-19.
Walk outside
Spend time with your family outdoors in any weather. Drizzle and cool wind are not a reason to stay at home.
Dress your baby for a walk so that he is dry and comfortable - no need to wrap him in many layers of clothing.
Ventilate the room
It is recommended to open the window in the children's room 3-4 times during the day. It would be great if the kindergarten also followed these recommendations - ask the teacher how often the rooms in the group are ventilated.
