Accidents like this are not uncommon in winter! So, when it's cold outside, mothers should always ensure their babies are warmly wrapped and never forget about their safety.

But it is often because of this idea that mothers ignore their baby's safety issues and inadvertently cause safety hazards to their children! When wearing a scarf several times, wrap the scarf several times around your neck. If you pull it a little hard, the scarf will get stuck in your neck, even on a down jacket.
This way of wearing it has a fatal risk and can cause the baby to suffocate if you are not careful.
When wearing a scarf with a single-layer knot method, tighten one end of the scarf, wrap the scarf several times around and then fix it tightly at the knot. This method of wearing a scarf is also wrong, which may easily cause the baby to have difficulty breathing.
The correct way to wear a scarf for your baby 1. Don't wrap around wearing a scarf.
The scarf must be hole-able, and the left side of the scarf goes through the hole from one side. The thermal insulation performance is equally good. The key point is that it is safe! 2. Buy a horn buckle to fix the two ends of the scarf. Even if it spreads out, it will never strangle the neck, which greatly reduces the risk of suffocation caused by the scarf.
3. When wearing a scarf for your child, remember not to wrap the long scarf around your baby's neck several times. This way of wearing it is undoubtedly very dangerous. As a parent, you must first greatly reduce this risk.
4. Do not use a scarf as a mask, as the mouth area is often moist and pathogens, bacteria, and harmful substances such as dust can accumulate on the scarf. These germs can easily enter the respiratory tract, leading to systemic diseases in children.
When it comes to wearing a scarf, mothers are always fully prepared to protect their little ones during the winter months.
Recently, due to frequent occurrences of accidents involving baby wearing a scarf, parents are greatly concerned.
If babies wear scarves, what areas should be paid attention to that might "eat the scarf"? Common doors include elevator doors, subway doors, and bus doors. If a baby's scarf is too long, it may get caught in these doors during rides on the elevator, subway, or bus, leading to choking.
When riding a bicycle or an electric vehicle, if the scarf is too long, it can easily get caught in the wheel and lead to danger.
Children's Play Equipment: Trapezes. If a baby's neck scarf gets caught on the corner of the trampoline, it's extremely dangerous.
What should I do if my baby has an accident wearing a scarf? Babies wear scarves to keep warm in winter. However, if protection is neglected, the scarf will turn from a warm thing to a killer.
What should I do if a scarf suffocation accident occurs? If the baby has a suffocation accident caused by the entanglement of a scarf, the mother should immediately cut the scarf with a sharp weapon to relieve the restraint on the baby's neck, and call the emergency number in time.
At the same time, the mother needs to judge whether the baby is conscious or not. If there is no response, call for help immediately and perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the baby.
Baby wears a scarf, matters needing attention: Wearing a scarf can keep warm and make your baby more fashionable, but wearing a scarf can actually bring hidden dangers to your baby's health, which many parents have not considered! 1. Wrap your scarf tightly and you can catch a cold, Nani! I scared this anchor! Many mothers use scarves to wrap their babies in three layers inside and outside. Purple sauce is not conducive to perspiration.
Once the scarf is soaked by sweat and the baby's resistance is weak, parents will cause a cold if they don't discover and replace it in time! 2. Causes itching and dryness of the skin. When a baby wears a knitted scarf, it can easily cause itching and hives on his neck, and may even cause prickly heat from covering it.
In addition, scarves are generally made of chemical fiber, which is easy to generate static electricity, aggravate the dryness of neck skin and produce white dander.
Once the baby sweats a lot, dandruff and sweat mix together, which will easily breed bacteria, which is not conducive to the baby's health.
3. Causes allergic symptoms. If the baby is allergic and wraps the neck with non-cotton clothing, it can easily lead to allergies, skin redness and swelling, and even aggravate symptoms.
What are the hidden dangers of baby safety at home? In addition to avoiding "life-threatening scarves" for babies in winter, what other dangers are easily ignored by parents during the heating process? Let Mom take you to understand the three major safety hazards that babies should be vigilant against in winter! 1. Burns the heater and electric heater. Curious babies will put their hands close to the electric heater to warm them. Doing so will accelerate the loss of skin moisture, weaken the protective function of the skin, and easily be burned.
Mothers should pay attention to keeping a certain distance between babies and electric heaters and heaters.
2. Electric heating treasure, baby warming paste, hot water bag, low-temperature burns If you use the electric heating treasure or hot water bag for a long time, your baby can easily develop redness and blisters on the skin, causing low-temperature burns.
Mothers can add a cloth cover to the electric heating treasure and hot water bottle.
Baby warming stickers need to be posted across the baby's underwear. After a period of use, the heating parts should be replaced to avoid heat accumulating in the same part and damaging the baby's skin.
3. Electric blankets and electric grills should not be folded when used in winter, as this may cause heat accumulation and start a fire, potentially burning the baby's skin! It is best to preheat the electric blanket before use and then switch off the switch while sleeping.
During use, mothers should avoid prolonged use and not exceed 2 hours. When there is no one using it, the power plug should be pulled out.
