Wen | Yuan's mother's parenting diary original, welcome to forward and share personally
Since becoming a mother, I have not been afraid of everything, and the only thing I am afraid of is that my baby is sick. And the mother who has experience with the baby knows that no matter how carefully she takes care of herself, the baby cannot escape the curse of "6 months of illness".
It is no accident that the 6-month-old baby is sick and hospitalized
Last week to the hospital to see the cousin's baby, sick for more than half a month, the child was born since the cousin has been carefully taken care of, this time it is inexplicably sick, the home can be disinfected and cleaned have been dealt with again, but the baby is not good.
When she went to see the child, her cousin actually thought that it was a collision with some "god", because she found that the 5 babies in the ward, except for one who was about 1 year old, the other 4 babies were about 6 months old.
So my cousin concluded that this was not an accident, and was ready to find a "fairy" who could tell fortunes, but fortunately I persuaded her.
About 6 months old baby together sick hospitalization, although it sounds a bit "mysterious", but it is really not a supernatural event, if the mothers can carefully observe, you will find that their babies' first illness seems to be after 6 months ago, why is this?
The spell of "6 months of illness" is actually the work of immunity
In both adults and infants, illness is associated with decreased immunity. So why are babies more likely to get sick at 6 months? The truth about immunity, parents should know.
First of all, there is no "immunity" blessing given by the mother. When the baby is born, he gets a lot of "treasures" from the mother, including immunity and resistance, but as the baby grows up, the immunity given by the mother begins to be more and more insufficient.
Babies around 6 months old do not have the blessing of their mother's immunity, and they have not had time to form their own immune system, and it is easy to be "targeted" by the virus, so babies at this stage are very easy to get sick.
Secondly, the baby is certainly carefully protected when it is born, but as the baby grows up, it begins to eat complementary foods, learns to climb, touches more toys, and is taken out by its parents, and the chance of exposure to the virus also increases.
Therefore, even if the baby is forming his own immune system, because he is more susceptible to infection with the virus, it naturally leads to illness and physical discomfort, which also falls into the immune curse of "6 months of illness".
Do not want the baby's immunity to decline at 6 months, these things can be done in advance
Around 6 months, the mother's immunity to the baby begins to gradually disappear, but it does not mean that all babies will be sick at this time, and if the baby wants to spend this special period safely, the following things must be done well.
First: insist on breastfeeding
The nutritional value of breast milk needless to say, rich in immune proteins, lactoferrin, lysase bacteria, cytokines, etc., are indispensable for babies to build an immune system, with the blessing of these nutrients, the baby can better defeat viral aggression.
Second: Add complementary foods to be scientific, do not eat "adult meals" too early
In theory, the baby eats complementary foods not earlier than 4 months, basically from the 4th month can try to add, the addition of complementary foods is not simply to make the food fine, the important thing is the choice of complementary food ingredients.
To provide nutrition for the baby's physical development by eating complementary foods, parents can buy a food supplement book to learn to do if they do not understand the nutritional content of ingredients.
In addition, babies under 1 year old are recommended not to eat "adult meals", excessive condiments are easy to destroy the baby's taste buds, more likely to cause oral diseases.
Third: the vaccine should be vaccinated on time
Vaccination is to form antibodies against the virus in the baby's body, so no matter how complicated the process of vaccination, parents must take the age of the baby on time, not to mention to save money without vaccinating themselves, nothing is more important than health.
Fourth: Allow your baby to do appropriate outdoor activities
When the weather is good, take the baby to outdoor activities, promote the development of the skeleton body, improve the baby's resistance, and always let the baby in the small space indoors is not protection.
Fifth: Don't give your baby random medication
Is the drug three points of poison, the baby is unwell can not be as direct as the treatment of adults to take medicine, parents are not sure, do not trust the folk remedies, it is best to consult a doctor.
6 months is a challenge for most babies, I hope that the parents will not take it lightly, not to be overly nervous, the early scientific feeding and careful care is done well, and the baby can also successfully pass the "6 months".
