How should I post my baby's first photo after birth?
In addition to showing out the baby's small palms and feet, many stars also invariably showed the baby's "footprints".
For example, Rene Liu once showed the baby's small feet, Yan Yikuan sunned the baby's right foot prints, Zhu Yawen also excitedly posted the baby's big red footprints when his wife gave birth to the second child, and so on.
In fact, experienced mothers should know that when the baby is born, the nurse will not only clean and check the baby's body, but also press the baby's "small footprint" for the first time.
In this regard, some novice mothers can't help but wonder, is there any special role in pressing the baby's "footprints"? Why are they "footprints" and not "mudras" like adults?
Why do you want to press "footprints" after your baby is born?
1. Set aside as a souvenir
As the "first step" taken after the baby is born, it naturally has extraordinary commemorative significance, and the baby presses the footprints after birth, which invisibly leaves a precious memory for parents and the baby.
2. Save as a case
Just like an adult's ID card, the footprints pressed by the baby are the first credentials after birth.
When making a case with detailed information for a newborn, the doctor will put the baby's footprints in the case book and save them, and pass them on to the parents directly after the baby is born.
3. Prevent being held wrong
In the same hospital, there will be many babies born every day, because the newborn's facial features have not yet grown, it looks wrinkled, so it is difficult to distinguish, and the baby is born to measure the weight, check the physical condition, the scene is often more chaotic, easy to hold the child wrong.
Pressing the footprints for the baby can leave important identification evidence, and when the parents cannot distinguish the baby clearly, the footprints can be used to accurately identify the baby and prevent being held wrongly.
3 questions about babies pressing "footprints", the answers are here
1. Why press "footprint" instead of "handprint" and "fingerprint"?
Many novice parents will have such a question: "Don't adults rely on fingerprints to identify themselves?" Why not give your baby a mudra?"?
In fact, the answer to this question is very simple, on the one hand, shortly after the baby is born, the small hand will often be tightly held, and it cannot be forcibly broken, for example, when Xue Zhiqian was born after the baby was born, he was strongly criticized by netizens for breaking one of the baby's fingers to take pictures of the baby, so it is naturally unrealistic to press the fingerprint for the baby.
On the other hand, when the baby is just born, its fingerprints have not yet fully developed, and there are no clear fingerprints and palm lines, so it is easier and more scientific to leave "footprints".
2. Why didn't my child press the "footprint" when he was born?
Some mothers may see the nurse help the baby press the footprints, but only signed the words and did not get them, and some mothers may not see the baby press the footprints when they were born, and do not know that the hospital still has this process.
In fact, these two situations are normal, the first case is because the nurse needs to file the footprints for the baby, and some hospitals do not take the initiative to provide them to parents.
If Bao Mom needs to keep it as a souvenir, she can go to the hospital's case room to copy the footprints, or you can prepare other ways to record the baby in advance, such as Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng who used a clay board to press a pair of footprints for their sons, which is both beautiful and more commemorative.
In the second case, it may be because the hospital does not have this rule, or the nurse presses the baby's footprint and does not inform the parents.
In this regard, the mother can look at the baby's case book after discharge, confirm whether there are footprints of the baby, or directly ask the medical staff whether the hospital has such regulations.
3. Why do most babies leave "right footprints"?
Careful mothers will also find that the footprints left by most babies are on the right foot, and they can't help but guess the reason.
In fact, there is nothing special about this, but because there are more human right-handed people, when the nurse holds the baby and presses the footprints, the right foot is safer and more convenient to operate.
And the situation of pressing the right footprint for the baby is not absolute, some hospitals will press the footprints of two feet for the baby, or some nurses are "left-handed", because of personal habits to press the left footprint for the baby, which is the same as the effect and meaning of the right footprint.
Old Miao Conclusion:
In summary, giving your baby a footprint is a hospital process that has other key roles in addition to commemorative significance.
If the hospital does not leave footprints for the baby, parents do not have to regret, through their own creation, they can also leave a unique footprint commemoration for the baby, but it is worth mentioning that in the choice of materials such as printing mud, parents need to pay more attention to avoid causing harm to the baby's body.
