Tempering is the way to a child's health

You can start the hardening procedure at any time of the year. The main thing is that it happens gradually and regularly. Compliance with the rules of hardening allows you to improve the health of the child and reduce the frequency of visits to the pediatrician.

Dousing, rubbing, air baths and physical exercises will be beneficial if done according to the rules:

• Walking around the apartment barefoot is the first step to a "new" life. Allow your baby to walk barefoot on the grass, sand, and pebbles on warm summer days. You can also put a basin of water in the yard and let your child "stomp" in it for a certain amount of time.
• Walks - "green light"! In winter, the total amount of time spent outside should reach 3-4 hours a day. In summer, you can breathe oxygen all day long.
• Get used to sleeping with the window open at any time of the year.
• Physical exercise is a great addition to walking. Start each morning with a little exercise, and play active games while walking.
• Dousing is a special stage of hardening. You need to start them by wiping the baby's body with a damp terry towel. Then you can proceed to foot baths: fill two basins with water of different temperatures and alternately dip the baby's feet in warm water for 20 seconds, and then in cold water for 10 seconds. After a month, move on to dousing the legs up to the knees with water at room temperature, and after another month or two, to a contrast shower with cold water at least 20 degrees.

After the shower, dry your baby thoroughly with a towel.
