Wen | Yuan's mother's parenting diary original, welcome to forward and share personally
The old saying often says "three flips six sit eight climbs", which means that according to the general law of development, the baby will have the action or consciousness of turning over at three months, can sit alone at six months, and will have crawling movements or desires to climb at eight months.
Of course, this timeline is not suitable for all babies, we can't be partial, and we don't have to be overly anxious because the baby doesn't fit.
After all, each baby's physique is different, the growth and development rules are different, and it is inevitable that there will be a difference between fast and slow.
When is the time for your baby to learn to turn over?
In fact, after the baby reaches a certain age, their exercise will increase, which is not only conducive to the development of large exercise, but also related to the development of intelligence.
How many months does it take for your baby to learn to turn over? There is no absolute answer to this, but it is usually between 3-6 months.
Instead of focusing on inaccurate timing, grasp the key signals before your child learns to turn over:
The first is to look up, at this time, the baby's upper body strength is enhanced, and you can do actions such as arm support, hunched back and chest;
The second is the supine lying skill, which mainly refers to the flexible kicking when the baby lies on his back, and even makes some sound of smashing the bed during the kicking process, which is the performance of the baby's lower limb strength enhancement;
Finally, it is prone, and even if the baby is lying there, he will have an arm movement similar to swimming, or kicking legs, shaking his body and other movements.
These are the necessary abilities for the baby before turning over, which means that the baby's muscles and physical strength have been able to support the turn over.
Bao Dad's strength to teach his daughter to turn over
This father saw that his daughter already had the desire and basic ability to turn over, so he personally went to the battlefield to guide.
It is said that the baby has been more than three months old, and does not have the ability to turn over as scheduled, and every time he turns over halfway, he lies on his side, which makes people anxious, so his father decided to teach on the spot by hand.
I saw the father lying next to his daughter, learning to lean on his side in the appearance of his daughter, and then shouting "just two inches, just two inches" while also turning over hard.
The kung fu paid off, and in the cheers of the whole family, the daughter used the strength to suckle and successfully learned to turn over.
How can parents help their babies with guidance?
There are many factors in life that affect the baby's learning to turn over, as far as the baby itself is concerned, that is, the growth and development nodes are different, and there are fast and slow.
In addition, there are external factors, on the one hand, parents do not give sufficient assistance during the critical period of the baby's learning to turn over; on the other hand, the baby wears more clothes in winter or is overweight and inconvenient, which affects the baby's turnaround learning.
As for how to teach those children who are late in development, it depends on what kind of sleeping position the baby usually likes.
Guide the baby sleeping on your side to turn over:
Babies who are usually used to sleeping on their sides, it is relatively easy to learn to turn over.
For example, sleeping on the left side, when parents teach them to turn over, they can put a sound toy that the baby usually likes on the left side, and then put the right leg on the left leg and put the hand on the chest to help the baby turn over.
If your baby still can't do it on his own after a few tries, you can gently push it behind your baby's back.
Guide your baby who is sleeping on his back to turn over:
For babies sleeping on their backs, parents first practice lying on their sides, and can also use toys to attract babies, and then use the above side sleeping baby training methods to practice more.
Guide a baby who has only mastered one side of the flip skill to turn over:
Many babies will only turn over to one side, such as my baby, when she is young, she will only turn to the left, and turn over to the right side can only do the right side.
For these babies, parents must assist them to complete the turnaround action.
As they turn to their right, hold your baby's left shoulder with one hand and your baby's ass with the other, giving them a little strength.
In addition, for those babies who wear more clothes or are fat, the best way is to practice diligently to enhance the baby's waist strength, which is very beneficial to the baby's subsequent learning.
After practicing this for a period of time, you can use the above toy "seduction" method to encourage the baby to complete the turn over independently.
But when practicing turning over for your baby, parents must pay attention to these points!
First, each baby is an independent individual, the growth curve is different, and the time to master the turning skills will naturally be different.
Parents must learn to respect individual differences, for the baby who turns over late, parents must not rush to achieve success, and patiently help the baby to strengthen training.
Second, after the baby learns to turn over, parents should strengthen safety protection. For example, install fences, etc., to avoid falling from bed, falling and other situations.
Third, pay attention to the new skill signal sent by the baby and help the baby practice. Generally, after the baby learns to turn over, he will hold the mother's hand, or with the help of strength, there is a tendency to sit up, at this time parents can slowly exercise the baby's ability to sit independently.
I believe that with the accumulation of this knowledge, it is easy to guide children to learn to turn over.
