Rules of hardening the child
Any hardening begins with several rules that must be strictly observed. Their failure can be reversed, which will entail a child's disease.

1. If the child does not get sick, and the procedures stopped for any reason for 6-10 days, starting hardening again, the temperature raise by 2-3 degrees.
2. When the child stopped the procedures more than 10 days, not pain, - we start again.
3. After the child's illness for the period of 7-10 days, the hardening mode is initial.
4. If the child ached with severe diseases, such as pneumonia, procedures can be started from the initial stage only in a month.
All procedures with reduced temperature are prohibited to be carried out when the child is frozen. To begin with, you need to warm up a child, to be confused (starting from the limbs), to drink a hot drink, and only when the baby is completely warmed up - to start pouring.
