What the climate should be in the nursery?

Parents look forward to the birth of your baby and try to prepare everything so that he was comfortable. Already bought the stroller, crib, diapers, rattles. Did I forget something?


The most important role in the development of the child plays the microclimate of the room in which he lives.




It is well known that young children, especially the first year of life, the most sensitive to changes in weather conditions. Child during their intrauterine development was in a wet environment, where breathed and was fed through the umbilical cord. His birth into the light in itself is a huge stress, which is why parents need to create all the conditions for a smooth and easy passage of the stage of "acclimatization". One of the important aspects of normal growth and development of the baby is good humidity, which should not be below 50%.




You should also take into account the fact that the child's body the first year of life contains 10-15% more fluid than the adult organism. And even a small loss of fluid can lead to significant impairment in various organs and systems of the baby.




It is found that high temperature in combination with dry air dramatically increase the "heat load" of the body and cause a number of violations of its functions. Basic research has proven that low humidity is crucial in the structure of the adverse environmental impacts for children of early age. Interesting is the fact that the peak bronchopulmonary disease accounted for hot season with low humidity.




According to the doctors, when low humidity even in healthy children possible changes daily regime of kidney function and the development of dysbiosis. If a child already has health problems, dry air will only provoke relapses, reduce the effectiveness of traditional methods of treatment and will serve as a "starting point" for the development in children of chronic diseases.




In addition, it is no secret that the human skin is 70 % composed of water, small children are especially susceptible. Therefore, the formation of a microclimate in children should be based not only on the temperature and the purity of the air, but also on the relative humidity.




Too dry air dries the skin, thereby reducing the protective properties, immunity and creating discomfort for the baby. The mucous membranes of the nasopharynx and lungs all the time interact with the air and react to the lack of moisture in it. If a kid's room enough moist air, he lays the nose, breathing becomes labored, and he often wakes up at night. And dry mouth can cause anxiety during feeding; the child will be hurt to suck the breast or nipple.




Any doctor will confirm that the normal humidity in the nursery should not be below 50%. In earlier times about the need to humidify the air in the house knew without doctors. In the old days, when was heated furnace, the hostess in the huts were arranged tubs with water. Right in the bathroom was hanging wet clothes.




To saturate the air with life-giving moisture and healthier home atmosphere will help household humidifier.




As a rule, humidifiers operate on the basis of ordinary tap water, which contains a large amount of harmful components such as chlorine, bacteria and other Harmful components from the water in the process of evaporation into the air and then settle on our skin and in the respiratory system. In order to neutralize the negative properties of tap water and to provide humidification clean steam humidifier must use pre-filtering the water.




Recently become popular ultrasonic humidifiers. Thanks to humidifiers, the air becomes fresh as after a rain, and the surface of the furniture is not formed by condensation.
