Some people with a baby can save several years of fitness costs, and some people with a baby but physically and mentally exhausted, waist pain and back pain, as if they are ten years old, the same is with a baby, some people "fitness", some people "hurt the body", the gap is really not small.
So why is there such a difference?
Some mothers may think that this is the "root of the disease" left during confinement, seeking medical treatment everywhere, but in the end there is little effect, and some mothers will complain that the family has given too little help, taking care of their children for too long, eating badly, sleeping well, and so tired.
Although the above two factors are not ruled out, many times the reason why Bao Mom feels very difficult when taking the baby is that in the final analysis lies in the posture problem, because the correct posture is not taken when taking the child, which brings great pressure to the body.
This is just like our usual work, if you maintain a good posture, proper relaxation, the same time, often than sitting stiffly in front of the computer much easier, and with the baby is the same, if you maintain a "seemingly labor-saving" for a long time, but not scientific posture, in the end will only make the mother tired, and even cause harm.
Wrong posture for holding the baby: chest, waist, etc
Due to their own relatively small strength, many mothers will involuntarily use the waist force when they pick up the baby from the bed, although such a posture looks "labor-saving", but in fact, such a posture will bring greater pressure to the waist and spine in an instant, and over time, bao mom will have back pain.
After picking up the baby, some expectant mothers will like to let the baby straddle the waist, put the center of gravity on one leg, stand with the chest, and in this case of improper center of gravity, it will also increase the burden on the lumbar spine, and it is easy to fall into the problem of waist pain and leg pain.
Correct posture:
When lifting the baby from the bed, it is best for the mother to straighten the back and maintain the natural level of the waist, so as to disperse the baby's weight in various parts of the body, using the muscles of the knees and legs to exert force, rather than letting the waist alone and using the strength of the spine to hold the baby.
When holding the baby, the expectant mother should try to sit up straight or stand up straight, so as not to shift the center of gravity, do not let the spine be forced for a long time, and try to use the muscle strength of other parts of the body.
In addition, when taking the baby out for a long time, the mother can also use the carrier, which can save a lot of effort.
Wrong feeding positions: bending over, leaning back, holding the baby in one hand, etc
Feeding is the most basic instinct of the baby, and how to let the baby eat well is a big challenge for many novice mothers.
Some mothers in the feeding of the baby, accustomed to bending down and bowing, or the body leaned back on the backrest, sometimes will hold the baby with one hand, grasp the breast with the other hand, although these postures are occasionally not a big problem, but over time will bring pressure to the mother's spine, become hunchback, waist pain, and use the wrong feeding position, the baby is also easy to choke.
There are currently 4 types of correct breastfeeding positions that are recognized as:
Horizontal: that is, let the baby lie horizontally in front, the mother supports the baby's head and neck with the palm of her hand, and feeds the breast on the other side, which is suitable for some novice mothers who have just started breastfeeding.
Rugby ball type: wrap the baby on one side of the body, support the baby's head and neck with the palm of the hand, feed the breasts on the same side, this position is suitable for the baby to observe, the caesarean section wound is in the healing period of the mother.
Cradle type: As the name suggests, it is to hold the baby in front of you like a cradle, and use your arms to support the baby's neck and head, suitable for babies who have mastered the sucking skills.
Side-lying: The mother naturally lies on her side on the bed, feeding the baby, one hand on the baby to soothe, the other hand naturally placed, suitable for breastfeeding the baby at night.
Wrong diaper change, clothing position: put the baby on the bed and bend down directly
In order to "save effort", when changing the baby's diapers or changing clothes, many mothers will be accustomed to placing the baby on the bed, bending directly to change diapers and clothes, and the spine is in a curved state for a long time.
In the process of taking care of the baby, various things inevitably require the mother to bend down frequently, further causing damage to the spine, and even simply changing the diaper is not wet, which is also a big challenge for the mother.
In fact, when we change the baby's diapers or clothes, we can put it on a higher platform at home, or buy a "diaper table" to solve the problem of bending down when changing the baby's diapers, if you can sit down to change the diapers for the baby, it is actually a good protection for the mother's body.
Write at the end:
Although some of the baby-in-place positions we feel very labor-saving at first, they are actually not scientific enough and are easy to cause harm to the body.
Finally, I hope that every mother can avoid the above several wrong postures with babies, make it easier to take care of the baby, and help the baby grow up healthily.
