Precautions for choosing baby socks
1. The material is adapted to local conditions: cotton towel socks are very suitable before toddlers, while pure cotton floor socks or plush socks are more suitable for babies in cold or cold areas and can keep warm. 2. Breathable and sweat-absorbent: The breathability and sweat-absorption properties of socks are both important. They can promote skin respiration, prevent odor and moisture, and prevent mold growth. Silk stockings have good air permeability and cotton socks have good sweat absorption. Baby socks can be made of cotton and silk blends, which are both breathable and absorbent. 3. The tightness should be moderate: not only the size of the socks should be appropriate, but also the tightness of the waist. In order to prevent the baby from kicking the socks, some mothers deliberately choose the tight waist or the elastic band and put them on the ankles. This will affect the blood circulation and is not recommended. 4. There is no gap in the front end of the socks: The front end of some socks is not continuously knitted, but stitched, which is extremely uncomfortable to stimulate the toe. Especially for babies who wear shoes, do not choose socks with stitched front ends. In addition, pay attention to trim off the threads in the socks. 5. The color should not be too fancy: fancy colors need more dyes, and the dyes will contain harmful substances such as lead and formaldehyde, which are harmful to the baby’s growth and development. Especially young babies often chew on their feet, which may increase the risk of chronic poisoning.
The necessity of wearing socks for babies
Babies are in a period of continuous growth and development, with immature development of various organs and systems, as well as thermoregulation. The heat production capacity is small, the heat dissipation capacity is large, and the peripheral blood circulation is not good. If the child is put on socks, it can be raised from a certain degree of soil Keep warm, avoid catching cold.
In addition, with the increase of age, the range of activities of the baby expands, especially the increase of lower limb activities, there are more pedaling opportunities, and the chance of damaging the skin and toes increases. Wearing socks can reduce the occurrence of these injuries.
On the other hand, the range of activities is large, and the baby’s skin is exposed to the external environment. Some dirty things, such as dust, thread and other harmful substances, can invade the baby through the baby’s delicate skin and increase the chance of infection. Play a role in keeping the skin clean and hygienic. So there are many benefits to wearing socks.
