Unlike adults who can regulate their own body temperature, an infant's body temperature is easily affected by the outside environment. Even in hot summer days, babies are at risk of hypothermia, especially premature babies, who do not have enough subcutaneous fat for insulation. Mom should pay attention to keep your room well-ventilated. If you are using an air conditioner, do not set the room temperature too low. Average 26-28 degrees C is just enough. Note: Do not let your child lie under the air conditioner, or turn on the fan in an air-conditioned room.
In addition, mothers should also regularly check the child's temperature. A normal infant's body temperature ranges from 36.5 to 37 degrees C if the anal temperature is measured. You should add 0.5 degrees C if taking the temperature in the armpit, and 0.3 degrees C if taking the ear. Depending on the child's body temperature increases or decreases, the treatment is also different.
The child's body temperature is below 36 degrees C: The mother needs to warm her up immediately.
Body temperature from 37.5 degrees Celsius: Mom can take off clothes, or change clothes to be thinner, lighter for children.
Body temperature above 38 degrees Celsius: A child with a fever needs a quick reduction in fever. You can use a cool towel to wipe yourself. If the temperature does not decrease, the mother should take the baby to the hospital immediately. Note: Absolutely do not let children use the drug without the prescription of a doctor.

When cleaning the umbilical cord for a baby, mothers should pay attention to unusual signs such as a foul-smelling umbilical cord, bleeding, yellowing oozing or delayed umbilical cord loss after 3 weeks ... This can be a sign of a very dangerous umbilical cord infection.
