How to determine whether a baby is hot or cold at night1

  1. Do you sweat. During the day, mothers can easily judge whether their children are hot or cold, but at night, they need to get up frequently to observe their children, such as whether their foreheads are sweating. Touch the child's forehead with your hand and feel it wet, indicating that the baby is already very hot. You can reduce the amount of bedding for the child appropriately.

  2. Touch the chest. By touching a child's body, it is also possible to determine their temperature, with the most common area being the chest. Mothers can extend their hands and place them on the child's chest to directly feel the temperature. If it feels too cold when touched, they should add a blanket for the child.

  3. Wipe the back of the neck. When the child is sleeping, mothers can place their hands on the back of the child's neck to see how it feels. If there is a slight dampness on the hands after touching them, it indicates that the child is sweating and has a high body temperature. At this time, it is necessary to reduce clothing for the child appropriately, and not reduce too much clothing at once.
