When is the best time to relax on the Black Sea. Which summer month is best for a seaside vacation with a child? Vacation in the summer by the sea

With a baby on the sea: is it worth it or not?

Definitely worth it. A properly prepared family vacation has a positive effect on the internal family climate, and this first of all UNITES the family, creates positive conditions in the family for the growth of healthy, happy children, who later form a healthy society.

At what age can you relax on the sea coast?

In my opinion, from anyone, even from the 1st month. When the child has adapted to “other” living conditions, and the mother has passed the postpartum period (especially if this is the first child. In 1 month, the mother has already got used to the new schedule of her life.) Parents must provide the child comfortable conditions accommodation, quality food and adequate medical care, in case it is needed. For that, the stinks ask:
  • Vacation outside the country?
  • A hotel with all amenities, or just a rented room, or a tent?
  • Warm water for hygienic baths?
  • Hotel food, public dining, or self-cooked food?
  • Cooking conditions (separate kitchen or in the room where they rest, gas, electricity, dishes, water)?
  • Where is medical care provided at the place of rest, cost?
  • Insurance, what volume of medical services does the insurance cover (if you travel outside the country)?
  • The duration of the holiday with children must be more than 14 days.

If you answered these questions, then you have already formed a personal opinion about the future vacation together with your children. My advice: with a child under 3 years old, relax on the territory of Ukraine, where, if necessary, the child can receive free, high-quality, medical care in medical institutions of Ukraine, where the adaptation period WILL NOT be acute and long for your child.

When is the best time to go to the sea with a child?

Better in early June and late summer: August-September. When the air temperature reaches 35 gr. When the sun is at a certain angle to the surface of the earth. At the end of summer, the sea has time to warm up, which is more comfortable for children.

How does the change of climatic zones affect the child?

A sharp change in climatic zones negatively affects the child's body than less baby, the stronger the manifestations negative impact. Your holiday can turn into a complete horror when your child falls ill upon arrival at the holiday destination. Therefore, plan your vacation without significantly changing the climatic zones if you have a child under 3 years of age. Most often, when changing climatic zones, there is an effect on the vascular-cardiac and immune system organism. If you and your child do not have violations of these systems and your child has reached the age of 5 - 6 years, you can change the climatic zones, subject to temperature fluctuations of no more than 10 - 15 gr. No need to experiment with relaxation, traveling from winter to summer. The likelihood of failure of adaptation increases.

What if you fly abroad?

In my opinion, it is possible to fly abroad with a child under 3 years old if the climate of the country corresponds to the climate of the country, or there are slight changes in climate parameters, primarily temperature. These are Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Croatia.

How to prepare a child for the sea?

If the vacation takes place on the sea coast, then at least 1 month. it is necessary for small children while bathing to gradually reduce the temperature of the water by 1 oz. every 3 days, bringing to a minimum, which does not cause discomfort in the child. For children, contrast shower, alternation warm water with water, 2 - 3 degrees lower. Lowering the water temperature by 2 - 3 degrees per week. For 2 weeks, I advise you to eat easily digestible food, increase the amount of vegetables and fruits, sour-milk food. for 2 weeks to refuse fried, fatty, smoked, alcohol. Drink plenty of water. When preparing for a vacation, limit physical activity, organize a regime of rest and work, start sunbathing, so you prepare your skin for the sun. If the rest is in a different time zone, start getting up or going to bed for 15 - 30 minutes gradually (earlier or later) according to the time zone of the resting place. Avoid stressful situations. In this way, you prepare yourself and your child for adaptation, while the negative manifestations of which may go unnoticed.

Who does not want to sunbathe under the southern sun and how to properly accustom the baby to it?

During a stay on vacation, babies under the age of 1 are contraindicated in direct sunlight. So that the child does not have a sunstroke, so that the child does not receive sunburn because the skin is very delicate, sensitive and vulnerable. Children under 3 years of age should be dosed with exposure to the sun. Children from 1 to 3 years old, at the beginning of the rest, should be in the open sun without risk to health for no more than 5 minutes, then gradually increase the time spent up to 15 minutes in 3-5 days, then at 1:00. The first sunbaths should be obtained at an air temperature of at least 22 degrees, a sunbath is contraindicated for children at a temperature of more than 30 degrees. Sensitivity to ultraviolet rays is higher, the younger the child. After sunbathing you can plunge, but only after, not before. Bathing after a bath should last no more than 10 - 15 minutes. remember, that ultra-violet rays penetrate the water to a depth of 2 to 3 meters.

After bathing, be sure to remove wet swimwear and dry the child. Use sunscreen for children. Apply them to dry skin in the room, before going out into the open sun, be sure to re-apply after being in the water. Sun cream for children should have a protection factor of at least 40. Before rest, test the chosen sun remedy, apply a small amount on the child’s forearm, if after 20 minutes or more the skin does not turn red, then the chosen remedy can be used. Don't neglect your hats. A panama hat is a prerequisite for a child to stay in the sun, even while swimming, a panama hat should cover the ears and nose of the child. It is best that it be a panama made of natural fabric, light colors with fields, the fields of which can be prevented if necessary. The best time of day for a child to be under the sun is in the morning and evening hours(before 10.00 am and after 16.00).

Sunbathing contraindications are:

  • kidney disease
  • Acute diseases
  • Heart defects
  • Some skin diseases
  • Photo allergy
  • Oncological diseases
  • Systemic autoimmune diseases
  • Multiple sclerosis

The use of drugs that cause photosensitivity (certain antibiotics tetracycline, sulfonamides, some antihistamines and anti-inflammatory drugs)

What to put in a first aid kit for a child?

If your child has a chronic disease, put in the first aid kit the drugs that the child takes during the active period of the disease. If your child is healthy:
  • Antiseptics (hydrogen peroxide, brilliant green, iodine - to choose from, the more you trust);
  • Bandage, cotton wool, alcohol, plaster;
  • Phys. Nasal wash solution (now in pharmacy varieties;
  • Antibacterial eye drops (with purulent conjunctivitis, when the child most often has yellow-green discharge in the corners of the eyes in the morning);
  • Antipyretics (choose the form yourself, it depends on the age of the child: candles, syrup, tablets)
  • Sorbents (activated carbon, sect, enteros-gel);
  • Test strips for acetone (subject to a history of acetonemic crises in a child);
  • Burn foam (panthenol).

How many days do you need to go so that the child has time to adapt and get the maximum benefit from the rest?

It should be borne in mind that, on average, the acclimatization of a child is slower than that of adults, namely 5-7 days. The minimum period of rest with children should be at least 14 days, in the optimal period of 21 - 24 days. If possible, rest with a child 1 - 2 months.

If the period of rest is reduced, the probability of failure of adaptation, which manifests itself in the form of a disease, increases. Remember that upon returning from the conditions of rest in normal conditions existence, the child feels reacclimatization. Therefore, I advise, upon returning home, to go through gradual periods of reacclimatization, gradually return to the rhythm of life familiar to you and your child. Do not send the child to kindergarten, school, section the next day, leave a few days of vacation for home adaptation. I talked about changing the time zone earlier in the vacation preparation section.

Sea therapy has a positive effect on the body as a whole. Children most often have ENT pathologies: adenoiditis, sinusitis, hr. tonsillitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, etc. When bathing, sea water enters the nose and rinses the throat well. Sea air, saturated with ions, has a positive effect on the nasopharyngeal mucosa, increasing local immunity, which in turn protects against frequent colds. But when a child has frequent otitis media, there is a narrowness of the nasopharyngeal tube, there have been cases of perforation of the eardrum, you can swim only by first covering your ear with cotton wool, it is better not to dive into the water. Good effect sea ​​air on children who have had pneumonia, should Chronical bronchitis. It is better for children with inhalation allergies who have bronchial asthma to visit the sea before August, in August ragweed begins to bloom in most resorts. It is useful for children with scoliosis, posture disorders, rickets to relax on the sea. Swimming strengthens the muscles, unloads the load on the spine. Teenagers who have problematic skin are shown resting at sea. Children who have vegetative-vascular dystonia can relax at sea, given that the morning rays of the sun have a tonic effect on blood vessels, the rays at sunset have a calming effect and relieve stress.

To resolve the issue of resting with children, contact a pediatrician and undergo a minimum examination: KLA and ZAS, pressure measurements and examination by a pediatrician. If your child has chronic diseases, or there are diseases in the family that are a contraindication to seaside vacations, take medication, be sure to inform the doctor about this. Contraindications to rest at sea and long stay in the sun printed above. Also prophylactically visit a dentist before rest.

I do not advise:

  • Rest outside the country for children under 3 years of age;
  • Dramatically change the climate: from winter to summer for children under 6 years of age;
  • Carry out routine vaccination 1 month before the rest, and 2 weeks after the rest;
  • To go on vacation to children without vaccinations in other countries;
  • Go on vacation with a sick child, or with an exacerbation of a chronic disease;
  • To be in the open sun for children under 3 years of age;
  • The duration of bathing in sea water is more than 10 - 15 minutes;
  • Buy any food or drink on the beach;
  • Eat food on the seashore;
  • Use air conditioners after being at the seaside;

Have a good rest for you!!!

Be healthy!!!

We are clearly lucky with the planet: an amazing variety of climatic zones allows any individual to find a suitable vacation spot. Even if you give forest thickets to some to pick mushrooms and hunt elk, others like stormy rivers along which you can raft on a raft at the risk of life, and still others are looking for a better place to winter the summer and go to the mountains ... And yet there is a type of recreation that attracts everyone at least for a short time: beach holiday. Indeed, in the hustle and bustle of everyday work, this is often what is lacking: the opportunity to lie belly up and do nothing. And where else can you lie down without thinking about anything, if not under the gentle sun on the beach near the sea ...

Rest on the sea is not only relaxation and getting rid of constant stress, but also health, joy and strength for new achievements.

In the northern hemisphere, you can go on vacation at sea only in summer. But we do not live in the Middle Ages. Released on vacation in the winter? - let's go south, to the southern hemisphere, or where it's summer all year round, - to the Caribbean or the Seychelles. Therefore, at any time of the year, it remains to choose a place ... and evaluate your financial capabilities. So, you are going on vacation. Where to go on vacation at sea?

Where to relax in Russia in the summer

Three summer months in Russia are considered the most popular. And our climate is such that in winter there is no time for beaches, and the vacation season for most citizens is in summer, and most importantly, children have vacations in summer.

First of all, it is worth evaluating the simplest option: where you can relax in Russia.

In the first place are, of course, the Black Sea resorts. Krasnodar region and Abkhazia have an undoubted advantage over Europe - they do not need to have a passport and change money, the people there are ours, therefore there will be no problems with the language, and the cuisine is familiar, and the mentality is ... predictable. And most importantly - the prices on the beaches of Russia are more or less acceptable.

From almost any corner of the European part of Russia to the Black Sea, a few hours of summer, and no one canceled trains with cars. Warm sea, sun and a beach - sandy, pebbly, with colored shells ... - what else do you need on a vacation by the sea. Best months for holidays - July and August, but the season lasts much longer: from May to September-October. And if you cannot stand the heat, and your children have grown up long ago, go to the sea in the Velvet season- autumn. it best time for romantics of all ages...

With service in the Black Sea resorts, of course, so far ... not very much. Often the buildings of sanatoriums and boarding houses were erected in Soviet times, a locals seek to sell the sea and the sun at a higher price, not at all caring about creating comfortable conditions for vacationers. Political instability also does not contribute to the development of the resort business ... However, there are changes for the better, very decent private boarding houses have already appeared, so ... everything will be fine. Someday.

The second most important resort sea is the Baltic Sea. The service at the Baltic resorts is already an order of magnitude higher than at the Black Sea ones, but their main disadvantage is the water temperature: only by May the water warms up to 12-14 degrees, and even at the height of summer, water of 18-20 degrees is considered “warm”. But there are other pleasures that will make the rest complete and unforgettable: long walks along pine forests, studies of coastal rocks and - sea air. Russian Baltic resorts are located in Kaliningrad region: on the Curonian Spit, in Svetlogorsk and Yantarny.

The choice of seaside resorts abroad is much wider.

Where to go in the summer for a vacation at sea abroad

Most popular place summer holiday for Russians, to be not very far away and almost at home, of course, is the Mediterranean Sea. The resorts of Greece, Spain, France, Italy, not to mention the developed Turkey, are ready to receive any number of tourists from May to October. There are no restrictions on the duration of the vacation, its comfort and the availability of entertainment: everything that your wallet can withstand. Excursions to exotic places and shopping will be a nice addition, and the prices for many goods in Europe may be lower than ours.

The Mediterranean Sea is not only Europe, but also Africa: Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt ... Surfers like to go to Morocco, in Tunisia they explore the ruins of Carthage, destroyed before our era, during the Roman Empire, and everyone knows about the sights of Egypt since childhood: pyramids, ancient Thebes (Luxor) - the city of the pharaohs and the birthplace of the Sun God Amon, Alexandria, the Sinai Peninsula, Cairo and Port Said ... It is worth spending time and money and going on excursions.

Far abroad provides more more possibilities for summer vacation. The Maldives and Seychelles, the resorts of the Caribbean and even the north of South America are ready to embrace you.

When is winter in Russia

Of course, a vacation at sea in winter within Russia is so-so a pleasure. In our very tropical region - Krasnodar - swimming in winter will not work, even if the air temperature is up to +14 ... +16 ° C.

The only way out is to go on vacation to the sea abroad in winter. Do not think that in winter you can relax only in the southern hemisphere. And in the north the globe there are plenty of places where a beach holiday in winter is a common thing. And in winter months it can be even better there than in summer - there is no sweltering heat. The UAE, Egypt and Thailand are much more attractive in winter, the Indian state of Goa with its popular beaches is also practically closed from May to November. Therefore, the Russian winter is the time to go swimming in the warm seas.

nearest warm sea is the Red Sea. Cheapest cost vacation in Egypt and Turkey, United Arab Emirates much more expensive, but the service there is higher. Thailand and India are approximately at the same price level, but the Caribbean Sea: Mexico, Dominican Republic, Cuba - will cost more. By the way, the Caribbean is ready to receive vacationers all year round, just like the resorts of California and South Florida: these are regions where eternal summer reigns.

World leaders in the resort business - of course, the islands located in the middle of the ocean in equatorial zone: Hawaii in pacific ocean, Seychelles and Maldives in Indian, Canary Islands in the Atlantic, the resorts of Bali in Indonesia ... Of course, it’s better not to go here with a skinny wallet, but the level of service will be decent.

Well, about the real southern countries should not be forgotten. When we have winter, it is summer in Australia or New Zealand. The islands of Madagascar and Mauritius, African Mozambique, beach resorts South America ... - all this at your service.

Regarding sea holidays abroad in winter, there are several important points. First, acclimatization. Getting from winter to summer seems so easy and pleasant. And imagine what it's like to go back ... You need to take care of warm clothes, and about precautions when leaving the plane: no bravado without a hat and in a light jacket, otherwise you will brag about your impressions while lying in a hospital bed.

In addition, distant countries require long flights, and this is also stressful. Be extremely careful if you have heart problems or other chronic illnesses: a holiday abroad in winter can result in unpredictable complications. Then maybe it's better to wait for the summer and relax close to home.

Whatever time of the year you choose, whatever countries you decide to explore - let there be good fellow travelers and indispensable luck next to you!

You can take a child to the sea only at 3-4 years old. This recommendation is based on a number of factors, the observance of which will allow the baby to develop properly and avoid the appearance of dangerous diseases.

Many parents want to take their child with them to the sea almost from the very first days of his life. However, most doctors recommend that you go on vacation with young children, not before the time when they reach the age of 4. This recommendation is due to the fact that it is very difficult for babies to endure a long journey.

Features of the life of children

Many factors influence the correct and timely development of infants. Parents should pay special attention to each of them before taking their child to another city so that the baby grows up in comfort.

Change of place - how it affects babies

It is very important for infants who have not yet reached the age of 3 to grow up in their usual place. To acquire impressions, young children do not need long journeys, they draw information from the surrounding objects and objects. Change of habitual location, bed, environment, climate, daily routine are the strongest stress for the child.

All children endure such changes in different ways: for some, it is enough for their mother to be next to them, while others receive a strong overstrain. nervous system when they find themselves in an unfamiliar environment. Therefore, at the age of up to 3 years, infants need to be provided with their usual environment and daily routine.

Climate

Children are more difficult to experience acclimatization. The human body when it enters another climate zone, when he adapts to new environmental conditions, he experiences discomfort for several days.

Usually, the symptoms of acclimatization, if you go to the sea, include:

  • the appearance of lethargy;
  • the child constantly wants to sleep;
  • the baby is often irritated;

  • older children complain of headaches and dizziness;
  • babies often cry
  • sometimes there is a feeling of nausea, vomiting;
  • the stool may become liquid.

In an adult, this period can last up to one week, and the first symptoms appear on the 2-3rd day after the climate change. Children under 3 years of age experience discomfort for ten days. After returning home, the baby will again adapt to its familiar environment.

Due to the long acclimatization, a child over 3-4 years old can be taken on vacation for at least 3 weeks. The healing effect comes after 2-3 months in the sea climate.

Food

When children have not yet reached the age of 3, they require special, children food. In the conditions of other cities or countries with hot climate and access to the sea, there is no opportunity to cook food for your child. Children under 3 require boiled or steamed food. The menu should not contain spicy spices, as well as heavy foods. The baby can eat only dishes familiar to him.

Rest on the sea is characterized by a hot climate. And the baby requires a large amount of dairy products that have short term validity. In the absence of a refrigerator, they deteriorate, and they can poison the baby.

Also, the sea may have a different composition of water, which is used for cooking. Babies are very sensitive to any change in the microchemical composition of food, which can cause development food poisoning, deterioration of digestion.

If it is still necessary to go to the sea, parents need to clearly consider where they will prepare food for the child. In the first 7 days, the baby should be fed only with familiar foods, in no case should you offer him new fruits and vegetables. For cooking, it is better to take purchased water intended for baby food.

Immunity

Before going to another city, parents should know that the immunity of infants has not yet been formed. Children are very sensitive to viruses and bacteria, so if you go to the sea with a child under 3 years old, he can easily become infected with any infection, or you can notice the development of a relapse of a recent illness.

Because of this susceptibility to pathogenic particles, parents can only provide a gradual expansion of the baby's contacts with environment. And if you take it in such early age to another city or country with bacteria unfamiliar to his body, the healing effect can be completely minimized, and you can get a disease. Such experiments with pathogenic processes in a child's body can cause dangerous complications.

Overheating

It is very difficult for a child to endure the heat, since he has not yet formed the thermoregulatory function of the body. The younger the baby, the more difficult it is for him to endure the hot climate, as he releases more sweat, which leads to a large loss of moisture. This process is due to the fact that the number of sweat glands does not change during his life. Therefore, their density in a child is several times greater than in an adult. But they mature only by 7-8 years of life. Therefore, you can take a small child with you only to a non-hot country.

Also, parents need to know that overweight children are more difficult to cope with the heat than thin ones. This is due to the fact that the subcutaneous fat layer blocks the process of heat transfer. But thin children often become hypothermic while swimming in the sea due to the thin skin-fat layer.

Overheating is usually accompanied by the following symptoms:

  • the appearance of weakness;
  • the presence of a lethargic state;
  • vomiting;
  • convulsions and loss of consciousness are sometimes observed.

Due to the unpreparedness of the child's body for the heat, the baby may develop diaper rash and prickly heat.

If the parents nevertheless decided to take the baby with them, it is necessary to try to make it easier for him to get used to the change in temperature.

  1. In the heat, do not dress the child too warmly.
  2. If the ambient temperature exceeds 26 degrees, do not use diapers.
  3. The child needs to offer a lot to drink.
  4. To improve heat transfer, it can be given slightly salted water or with the addition of a small amount of lemon juice.
  5. If the baby sweats a lot, he needs to regularly clean the skin with baby wipes. Particular attention should be paid to skin folds.

solar exposure

A child, when he has not yet reached the age of 3 years, in no case should be under the influence of active solar radiation. You can sunbathe only in the mesh shade. This is due to the fact that children's skin is thin, sensitive and tender, as well as a small number of melanocytes responsible for the production of melanin, which protects the epidermis from sunburn.

If the parents decide to take the baby on vacation, they should go to the sea only before 11 am or after 5 pm. You can stay under the awning, in a hat. You also need to take with you to the beach sunscreen with protection 50. They need to treat their skin half an hour before going out into the sun.

Bathing rules

In order for the rest to bring only health to the baby, parents must control the process of bathing. To do this, they should follow a few tips.

  1. On the first day, you need to refrain from swimming.
  2. You should start swimming in the sea from 1-2 minutes.
  3. For a week, the duration of being in the water can be gradually increased to 5-10 minutes.
  4. Bathing can be repeated after half an hour.
  5. The water temperature should not be less than 20 degrees.

When planning a vacation trip with children, parents should take into account that the minimum age of the child should be 3 years. If you still need to take the baby to the sea, you need to carefully follow hygiene procedures, regularly wiping the baby's skin from sweat that has appeared. Before you go on vacation, you should try to organize a space for cooking his usual food and emotional relaxation.

It doesn't matter what time of year you have your vacation. There are enough places on our planet to choose the right resort for you and for this particular season. The main thing is to decide how you imagine your vacation: stormy and cheerful, calm and respectable, cognitive or active.

And then, of course, a hot sauna. Holidays are also fun on ferries plying between northern countries(Finland, Sweden, Denmark).

Looking for summer sun you can go to cheerful noisy Brazil, to carefree Cuba or to the respectable Dominican Republic.

A relaxing holiday in a pleasant exotic atmosphere will give you the Maldives.

History buffs can take a trip to Mexico in the footsteps of the ancient Mayan and Aztec civilizations.

The end of the year is the beginning tourist season in Southeast Asia. Great time to visit Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos.

The rainy season is coming to an end in India. The beaches of Goa will welcome you with warm dry weather, beautiful hotels and vibrant life.

For those who are not afraid of long flights and are eager for new experiences, this time is ideal for relaxing in southern Australia, where spring reigns.

Egypt has become almost a classic holiday option at the end and beginning of the year. Despite the cool and windy evenings, during the day it is quite possible to sunbathe and swim in the beautiful Red Sea.

Not the best choice
It is unlikely that you will get the maximum pleasure from Europe during these months. Dullness and cold will not give you a complete picture of beautiful cities. Vietnam despite warm weather, may disappoint the restless ocean. The water temperature in the UAE is also not very pleasant for swimming.
