In fact, wearing socks or not is not only related to sweating. Parents with a little knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine know that the soles of the feet are the most distributed acupuncture points. These acupuncture points affect the health of the human body, so it is very important for the care of the feet. Therefore, even if the weather is very hot and you do not wear socks, the air-conditioning in the air-conditioned room can easily enter the body from the bottom of the baby’s feet, causing the baby to catch a cold.
And if the baby walks around at home, wearing socks can also make the baby feel more comfortable, and use the babies who are learning to walk to speed up the progress.
Do you know these benefits of wearing socks?
1. Protect the skin of the feet
The baby’s body is not fully developed. About 70% of the baby’s foot bones are in cartilage form, which makes the baby very unstable when walking, so the baby always loves to fall and fall.
After putting on the socks, comfortable socks will not cause the child to be more restrained like hard shoes, and can also protect the baby’s delicate skin. At the same time, babies love to sweat in summer. If you don’t wear socks, the sticky soles of your feet are not conducive to walking.
2. Protect bone development
Adults walk with stride, which is a very steady pace, while babies just learn to walk and always fall down. When standing, the baby’s body’s center of gravity is on the feet, and the bones of the feet are not fully developed, so the burden is It’s heavier.
After putting on the socks, the baby will not fall easily, and it will reduce the damage to the bone development of the baby’s foot.
3. Maintain body temperature
Some parents may find that even in the hot summer, the soles of the baby’s feet may be cold, mostly because the child is not wearing socks.
In fact, wearing socks in summer is the same as in winter, both to protect the feet and maintain body temperature. The feet are the place where the cold is most likely to invade, especially if a baby walks around barefoot. If you don’t wear socks, it is very easy to catch a cold.
Although the summer is hot and the child is sweaty, parents should pay attention. It is best not to undress and undress the child easily. The temperature of the air conditioner cannot be measured by the comfort of an adult, but the baby’s body temperature should be taken into consideration. If the baby often crawls and walks on the ground, remember to wear socks!
