Essential Dengue Protection Products for Every Sri Lankan Parent

The issue of dengue is something that worries the people living in Sri Lanka. In fact, it becomes particularly true during those times when there are frequent rains, as it is known to increase the number of mosquitoes. Protection against mosquitoes in the case of kids means the proper choice of products and method of their usage by their parents. Apart from cleanliness, using the right mosquito repellent products may become one more step of protection.

Below is the list of some useful products and ways for dengue protection.

Mosquito Repellent Patches and Stickers for Children

Tiger Balm Mosquito Repellent Patch (10's)

The application of mosquito repellent stickers may be seen as the most effective way to protect kids from mosquitoes for parents. Patches usually have essential oils and other compounds that give off a smell that is meant to drive the mosquitoes away. Those parents who are seeking convenience should buy the Tiger Balm Mosquito Repellent Patch(10’s).

Parents are advised to follow all the instructions that come with the products for kids. Parents also have to make sure that patches are not supposed to be put on the child’s skin.

For instance, mosquito repellent patches may be placed on the clothes of the child near the collar, shoulders, or hem of shorts. It is a reasonable solution for nurseries, preschools, and outdoors.

Repellent Wristband and Clips for Everyday Protection

In addition, repellent wristbands and clips provide an easy alternative for children. There are those designed using essential oils and which can be worn or clipped on clothing during outdoor activities. For example, parents can consider the Shishu Mozzyfree Wristband (1PK) as a convenient option for children’s outdoor activity

Children might like these products since most of the wristbands come in fun colors. They can be helpful while playing, during family picnics, or when going to school. It is important to remember that these products must not take the place of other means of protecting against mosquitoes.

Mosquito Nets and Screened Room for Safer Sleep

Mosquito nets can come in handy particularly when your baby is asleep. Due to the presence of dengue-causing mosquitoes during the day, parents should make it a point to use a proper mosquito net during daytime naps too. A Baby Umbrella Mosquito Net (Large) can be a convenient option for helping protect your little one while sleeping.

The baby mosquito net will act as a barrier between the mosquito and the baby. Back at home, installation of fine mosquito meshing on doors and windows will go a long way in reducing the population of mosquitoes.

Choose Proper Clothing to Reduce Mosquito Bites

Clothes can be one easy method to cover up the skin from mosquitoes. Whenever children play outside, they should wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and even socks. Loose clothes can serve a better purpose to cover the skin of children while ensuring their comfort during Sri Lanka’s hot weather.

In addition to that, light-colored baby clothes can also be a good idea since mosquitoes can be more attracted to dark clothes.

Simple Household Tips to Prevent Mosquito Breeding

Keeping your loved ones safe starts by ensuring the cleanliness of your environment. It is important to ensure that you check all sources of stagnant water in your garden, roof gutters, and other places where mosquitoes breed.

Get rid of any standing water in your containers, buckets, and plant pot trays. Make sure that water storage containers are closed. Get rid of the leaves and garbage in the gutters and drains. Also, do not leave tires and other containers outside, as they can hold water after the rain.

Common Baby Carrier Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Featured Image

Common Baby Carrier Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Babywearing through carrying your baby in a baby carrier, is one of the easiest methods for holding your child close to yourself while having free hands at the same time. The method can be quite handy for conducting various activities and doing shopping and trips with the whole family. Nonetheless, improper usage of a baby carrier can lead not only to discomfort but also to possible problems with the safety and development of your baby.

If you have recently started babywearing, there are a few mistakes that you need to know.

Caring the baby Too Low

Amongst the most frequent errors made by parents is the issue of having the baby too low on the baby too low on the baby. If the carrier’s waistband is placed near the hip area, it means that the baby will hang lower. It puts additional pressure on the lower back and shoulders and may become harder for parents to see how their baby breathes.

In order not to fall into this trap, parents need to wear the carrier’s waistband around their natural waist. The baby needs to be positioned high enough so that it is possible to give him/her a kiss on the head just by lowering the head a bit.

Letting Legs Dangle Straight Down

The hips of an infant are not yet fully developed in the first few months after birth, which means that correct leg positioning in baby carriers is critical at this stage. If you allow your baby to sit in such a way that their legs are hanging down straight, it creates extra pressure on the hip joints and can cause hip issues.

Ideally, what you want to achieve in baby carriers is what is known as “the M-Position”.It involves positioning your baby’s legs in a manner where the knees are higher than the baby’s bottom while also supporting the baby’s thighs from one knee to the other.

Carrier Adjusted Too Loosely

When the baby carrier is loose, it may feel comfortable initially however, it allows the baby to slouch forward and even sink down. This might cause excessive bending of the baby’s body and difficulty breathing. 

It is important that the baby carrier is adjusted to the point where it fits your baby snugly, just as a second embrace. Here is a helpful rule to keep in mind, which is called T.I.C.K.S:

T -Tight

I – In view at all times

C – Close enough to kiss

K – Keep chin off the chest

S – Supported back

With the following basic guidelines, you can make sure that the process of carrying is safe and comfortable.

Inadequate Head and Neck Support

Baby children are not able to maintain the position of their heads and necks independently. When the height of the panel of the carrier is too low or incorrectly adjusted, the head of the baby can lean forward, resulting in its chin being pressed against the chest of the baby and preventing breathing.

It is important to ensure that the head support of the carrier reaches the middle part of your baby’s ears. The face of your child must be clearly seen and not covered all the time.

What Size Trampoline Is Right for Your Family Featured Image

What Size Trampoline Is Right for Your Family?

The trampoline is a great way to enjoy outside entertainment and remain physically active at the same time. But selecting an appropriate size of a trampoline is crucial for your safety and pleasure. The choice of the play set for your family should depend on your children’s age and the area of your garden.

Consider the Age and Number of Jumpers

The very first thing you need to consider when looking for a jumping mat is who will use it.

For young kids from the age of three up to ten years old, 8ft-10ft jumping set is the best option. Such models allow bouncing comfortably and are spacious enough for the kids to play actively and safely.

As far as older children and teenagers are concerned, they need more room to jump, practice their skills, and improve coordination. In this case, the recommended size would be a 14ft trampoline or even a bigger one.

It may seem logical to opt for a big play set when you have two kids in order to let them play simultaneously on the same playground. However, according to specialists, it’s better to purchase two smaller jumping mats rather than one big one, as collisions tend to occur all the time. So, if your kids will jump taking turns, 12ft jumping mats could be considered.

Measure Your Available Outdoor Space

When buying outdoor play equipment, first measure the garden or backyard area you have access to. One of the mistakes that people often make is buying a jumping set that doesn’t fit into their outdoor space.

In terms of safety, there must be at least two meters (6.5 ft) of free space around the play equipment. It shouldn’t be close to trees, fences, walls, patio furniture, and other elements that could pose any danger.

You need to keep in mind the overhead space. Do not place your jumping mat under three branches or near other elements that can interfere with jumping.

Choose the Right Trampoline Shape

The shape of your outdoor play equipment will greatly influence the way it functions and who should use it.

  • Round Trampolines

Outdoor play equipment that is circular in shape is preferred by many people. Their design is such that the jumper is automatically led to the center of the trampoline. They are usually cheaper than other types and therefore ideal for young kids.

  • Rectangular, Square, and Hexagonal Trampolines

Rectangular and square play equipment are mostly favoured by older kids, teens, and young gymnasts. Rectangular or square-shaped trampolines offer a more uniform bounce throughout the whole surface area, making it easier to control.

Hexagonal trampolines typically offer the largest overall surface area. Their geometric shape allows them to distribute weight extremely well, making them great for multiple jumpers.

Which Trampoline is Right for Your Family

The most appropriate choice of jumping mat is always the one that takes into account the requirements of your family. Factors to be considered when choosing play equipment include the age of the kids, the number of people who will use it, the outdoor space available, and the shape that will suit them best.

The right trampoline choice will ensure that your kids have fun playing outside and remain physically active.
