Every mother knows about the benefits of daily walksfor the health and proper development of your child. A long stay in the fresh air increases appetite, promotes sound healthy sleep, and also strengthens the immune system. Walks are necessary for children of any age and regardless of the current season and the weather outside. However, in order for them to be truly useful, it is important to take care of the child's wardrobe in advance. You should be especially careful when choosing demi-season clothes, because the spring and autumn sun is deceptive - peeking out from behind the clouds, it is quite hot, but as soon as the rays disappear, a warm, seemingly fine day quickly becomes cold, and sometimes cloudy. So how to properly pack a child for a walk in the off-season?
Layering in children's clothing
This is perhaps the most important principle thatshould be followed when preparing a child to go outside at any time of the year, including in the off-season. The rule of layering says: it is better to prefer two less warm things to one thick one. This will allow you to take one of the sweaters off your child at any time if he gets hot, thereby protecting him from overheating. After all, this condition of the body is no less dangerous than hypothermia, and threatens to turn into a high temperature, weakness, lethargy and even nausea for the child. Having several layers of clothing is especially important if your child goes to kindergarten. After all, the road to the kindergarten can take quite a long time, and during the day the children will have a walk with active games and running, because of which the child can sweat and, steamed, quickly "catch" a cold. If you took care of your child and instead of one thick woolen sweater put on two lighter sweaters of fine knitting, then when going for a walk, the child can leave one of them in the group. Thus, fewer clothes will allow the baby not to overheat and will provide greater comfort for movement. By the way, stylish and high-quality cardigans, sweatshirts and jumpers can be found in the online store "PriKinder" -, which sells wholesale children's clothing. Here you will find demi-season items for girls and boys of all ages.
Poddev and thermal underwear
The beginning of spring and the last month of autumn are truefriends of frosty winter. During these periods it is quite cold outside, the temperatures are low, precipitation falls from the sky in the form of rain or snow. Therefore, again remembering about layering clothes, mothers should take care of buying underwear for their child, the choice of which largely depends on the age of the child. If the baby is very small and does not yet walk on its own legs, then the best option for such a baby will be soft cotton clothes - bodysuits with legs and sleeves, rompers, T-shirts and bonnets. These products perfectly retain body heat, and also protect the baby's delicate skin from irritation by "prickly" woolen things. T-shirts, T-shirts and tights made of cotton material are also good for older children. However, mothers of already adult, active and independent fidgets should still pay attention to thermal underwear. Unlike cotton, it does not absorb moisture, but on the contrary - removes it from the body. Agree, there is more harm than good from walking in clothes wet from sweat on a cold day. However, when putting on thermal leggings, turtlenecks or T-shirts made of thermal fibers on your child, you should not overdo it with the number and thickness of subsequent layers of clothing, so that the child does not get too hot.
Outerwear and warm accessories
Children's outerwear in the off-season can bevery diverse in models, and also made of different materials and insulation. But the greatest protection in such an unstable time of year in terms of weather will be provided by jackets, coats and overalls made of modern waterproof and windproof fabrics - polyurethane, with membrane impregnation or Teflon coating. A pleasant bonus for mom will be the fact that such products are easy to clean - they need rare washing, and any dirt can be removed by simply wiping the thing with a wet cloth. And of course, what walk on a cool day can do without a hat, a bright scarf and a pair of gloves or mittens? Reliable protection for your favorite little hands will be provided by, bright, decorated with funny imagesanimals, cars, flowers and cartoon characters. When you are outside, ask your child more often if he or she is feeling well – if he or she is cold or sweaty. And if you know that your little rascal can say anything just to avoid going home without having time to measure the depth of all the puddles in the yard, then take note of this – a child’s nose and ears will never lie. If they are cold, then there is a risk of hypothermia, and if the child’s cheeks and neck are too hot, this is a sign of approaching overheating. If these parts of the child’s body are only slightly cool (which is quite natural for being outside on a cool day), then you can be sure that you have no reason to worry.
