With the filing of Dr. Komarovsky, sleeping on the balcony became very popular among Russian mothers. And, for example, in America, such a practice would arouse serious interest from social services. Let's see what is dangerous for a child sleeping on the balcony.
The fall
Most likely, the berth is not equipped on the balcony, and the stroller is unsafe! An active child after sleep may try to sit in it or even get up. And it will be very difficult to prevent a fall, even if you notice it in advance from the room.
the greenhouse effect
Modern balconies are usually glazed. How many windows is mom ready to open so that fresh air enters and the baby is not blown away? Most likely only one. And the rest of the glass is heated in the sun, and the balcony turns into a greenhouse. Do you think it’s good for your baby?
Threat of Rickets
Ultraviolet, getting on the skin, helps it to produce vitamin D. But ultraviolet rays have not yet learned how to break through the glass. This means that you can’t do without daily walks in the fresh air (at least 30 minutes), otherwise one day you will actually find out what is rickets.
Neighbors
Do you know whose balcony is above yours? Perhaps your neighbor is a heavy smoker, and often goes to the balcony, treating your baby with puffs of cigarette smoke. And a cigarette butt thrown from above will at best burn a hole in a stroller or blanket. Or maybe your neighbor started a general cleaning and decided to shake out the door mat on the balcony just during daytime sleep?
Cluttered balcony
Let's be honest - balconies are usually littered with all sorts of rubbish. Skis, bicycles, a tree, old toys - why not there! Are you sure that none of this will fall down one day on your sleeping child? And the dust? Do you wipe all these things from dust so that your baby does not earn an allergy?
Bad air
You are very lucky if your balcony overlooks a park or courtyard full of flowers, trees and singing birds. And if there is a busy highway under it, are garbage cans or a factory puffing? Do you think this is exactly what a sleeping child should breathe?
Weather
While mom is busy with household chores, the weather outside the window can change dramatically without communicating her intentions. A barely audible rain can easily fill the stroller with the child, and a suddenly peeking sun can warm the baby under the covers no worse than in a bath. A tempting prospect, isn't it?
Lack of development
Almost all children, waking up on the street, look around, notice birds and butterflies flying by, examine trees and flowers. And what will the baby see when he wakes up on the balcony? Christmas tree, ski and bike? No wonder he wakes up crying.
The habit of falling asleep in a stroller
Want to find out what parents experience when their children sleep in their favorite stroller in the evenings? And at night, waking up in their crib, they demand to return them to their usual sleeping place? Put your baby to sleep on the balcony more often! Of course, the habit of sleeping in a stroller can also appear in children who walk in the yard or in the park. But the fresh air and other advantages of such walks are at least worth it!
Mom locked up
Dear Mommies! For one and a half to two hours that your child sleeps on the balcony, you will not cook a month in advance and you will not wash your apartment to a mirror shine. But the constant presence in the four walls will adversely affect your appearance. Maybe take a walk?
