After the birth of the baby, the mothers who have been looking forward to ten months can be said to be in love with the newborn, the more they look at it, the more cute they are, and the more they look at it, the more they like it. Most mothers only stay in the facial expression of the newborn, because this can intuitively see the cute side of the baby, but in fact, this will also overlook other characteristics of the baby.
01 Newborns burp frequently, and Bao Mom took her to the hospital for the first time and came back awkwardly
Xiao Zhou has no one to take care of during confinement, and the meals are basically brought back by the husband from work, fortunately, the bottom of the body is also better, so many aspects can take care of themselves, the only deficiency is that there are many unknown places in the newborn care, and there is no older person to ask.
One day, the little guy suddenly began to burp frequently after drinking milk, which was different from the occasional hiccups in the past, which made Xiao Zhou start to panic, because she had never seen the baby look like this, worried about whether the little guy had choked, or where the stomach was uncomfortable.
So I quickly took the baby to the hospital for examination, and the doctor said after listening to her appeal that "it is normal for newborns to burp frequently, and sometimes even if they are not full, there will be frequent hiccups." This is because the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal and other systems of newborns are not yet fully developed, resulting in frequent hiccups, which usually do not need to be particularly concerned. ”
After listening to the doctor's words, Xiao Zhou suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, and the doctor also saw her embarrassment, and then suggested that she could learn about the nursing knowledge of newborns, so that she would not feel helpless when she encountered problems.
It is true that newborns still have more behaviors that seem strange to adults, but if you have learned about it in advance, you will not feel strange.
02 Newborns have five "weird behaviors" and one "superpower" that adults certainly can't do
I don't know if the mothers have noticed a phenomenon, that is, in the baby's four months or so, they will consciously nibble their own little feet, many mothers are difficult to understand such behavior, can't figure out how the baby likes to nibble feet. In fact, at this stage, the baby is in the oral period, and the nerve fibers in the mouth are more sensitive than other parts, so they like to perceive themselves and everything around them through their mouths.
Four-month-old babies, because they can't sit and stand, even climbing is a problem, so when they are put on the bed by the mothers, if they don't wear very thick pants, then the two legs can move freely, they will put their little feet to their mouths, and then keep nibbling on the little feet.
If you observe the baby carefully enough, you may also find that when the baby has been pedaling on the legs, there will be a small sound of bones clucking, if the mothers find this situation, do not worry, do not think that it will be the baby's bone development abnormality, in fact, this is also a normal situation. Because the baby's bones and joints and muscle groups at this stage are not yet fully developed, there will be some small noises during activity.
In addition to continuous hiccups, newborns have a more strange feature, that is, "continuous sneezing", this is because the baby's nasal nerves are more sensitive, if you perceive that there is a foreign body entering, or there is more dust in the air, stimulating the nasal nerves, it will always sneeze. Of course, if the mothers do not regularly clean the secretions in the nasal cavity for the baby, the baby himself can not deal with it, they can only discharge the secretions by constantly sneezing, so that they will feel more comfortable.
Newborns have the ability to swim before six months, but then slowly lose this ability, in its practical medical terminology, it should be called "diving reflex ability", mainly because newborns live in amniotic fluid before birth, and after getting used to it, they will maintain this instinct in the short term after birth. Therefore, when they enter the water, they consciously hold their breath or instinctively slide their limbs.
Another small detail is that newborns' nails grow quickly, about two or three times that of adults, and maybe even taller. This is mainly because newborns have much faster metabolic capacity than adults, and the vitality of cells in the body is also stronger, so there are more substances and energy provided to nail growth.
Finally, it should be pointed out that newborns also have a "superpower", that is, breathing and swallowing at the same time, and the two can be done at the same time, but adults certainly can't do this. This is because the newborn's airway and throat are not fully developed, but they do not affect each other, so the baby's breathing will not be blocked even when swallowing food.
Conclusion: These behaviors of newborns, from the perspective of adults, will indeed be a little strange, but there is no need for parents to make a fuss and focus on the care of the baby.
