In Wen Wen's father's hometown, there has always been a saying of "stepping on life" or "stepping on life", is there such a saying in your hometown? That is, after the newborn is delivered from the delivery room, who takes the baby from the nurse's hand is the person who "steps on" the baby.
In Wen Wen's father's hometown, attach great importance to this "stepping on the birth" person, in the words of the older generation, after the newborn is born in the delivery room, who takes the baby from the nurse's hand and becomes the first person to hold the baby in addition to the nurse, the baby's fate, personality, and even the way of doing things will be like him/her.
But Wen Wen's father and wife did not believe this, thinking that this was superstition, and there was no scientific basis at all! But my mother believes that this is a custom that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it makes sense.
After the birth of her daughter, her mother carefully selected relatives and friends around her, and finally chose a very rich, capable, and high emotional intelligence.
Although my wife and I do not believe in the saying of "stepping on the birth", it is very important to choose the right and correct person for the baby's "first hug". Like the following two types of people, even if the relationship is close, Wen Wen Dad also suggests that you refuse.
01, two types of people, not suitable for holding newborns
People who smoke for a long time
When his daughter was born, Wen Wen's father saw the next bed with his own eyes, because the first person his father chose to hold the child smoked, and was scolded by his wife and doctor.
On that day, the child in the next bed was born a little before the daughter, when the nurse held the newborn and prepared it for the family. A young man who had just finished smoking shouted from the entrance of the stairs: "I am her father, I will be the first to hold her."
When the nurse listened, she scolded with anxious eyes: "You just finished smoking, and the smell of smoke on your body is so heavy, what should you do if you smoke a bad child?" Someone else to hold. ”
Listening to the nurse's reprimand, Bao Dad quickly took a few steps back and signaled to the child's grandmother to come forward and hold the child.
Why can't smokers hold newborns? The reason is that people who smoke all year round will have a pungent smell of smoke on their bodies, and many adults feel sensitive, not to mention newborns.
Besides, in case a newborn is allergic to the smell of smoke, it's even more troublesome! Therefore, for the sake of the health of the newborn, the first person to hold the baby, as far as possible, do not choose the person who smokes.
People who are seriously ill and have not yet healed
In Wen Wen's father's hometown, people who have not yet recovered from serious illness are strictly forbidden to hold newborns! Customarily, it is considered unlucky; from a health point of view, people who have not yet recovered from serious diseases will have some bacteria on their bodies, and if in the process of holding the baby, the bacteria will not be good to spread to the baby.
And some people who have not yet recovered from serious illnesses will think of "rushing joy" by holding newborns, which is also unscientific. In short, parents should pay special attention not to hand over their children to such people to hold.
In short, regarding the statement of "stepping on life", Wen Wen Dad does not agree, but the first person to hold the child is still very important, such as the above two types of people, the relationship is close, but also to refuse.
02, the 4 correct positions for holding a newborn, to remember
After selecting the first person to hold the baby, how to hold the newborn correctly is also worth noting. Newborns are relatively fragile, bones and muscles are not well developed, the development of various organs is not mature, if the posture of the holding is not correct, it is likely to cause the baby to be uncomfortable, and in severe cases, it may also damage the spine. Therefore, holding a newborn baby should pay attention to methods and techniques.
Cradle hug
Cradle hugging is a very suitable way to hold a small baby, this kind of holding posture can make the baby's head and body almost flat, and at the same time the head will be slightly higher than the body, so as not to affect the baby's breathing.
The specific holding method is: adults use one arm to protect the baby's head, back, waist, and the other arm from the other direction to protect the waist and hips, just like breastfeeding, you can refer to the following figure holding posture.
Airplane hug
This kind of hugging posture is very suitable for strong and powerful fathers to hold, when the baby suffers from colic or crying, you can also try this posture, which can play a certain soothing effect.
Specific holding method: Adults use one arm to support the baby's head and abdomen, so that the baby's back is up, in a "lying down" position, and the other arm can support the baby's back from above.
It is worth noting that this kind of holding time should not be too long, as far as possible not more than 3 minutes.
Vertical hugs
This kind of posture is generally more suitable for 2-3 months old babies, especially when they have just finished feeding and need to burp; not suitable for newborns, after all, this kind of posture requires the baby's spine to have a certain strength.
The specific holding posture is: parents first stand firm, and then use one hand to wrap around the baby, support its small PP, so that the baby's head, neck, spine to maintain the same level, the other hand gently support the baby's head and neck, or let the baby's head rest on the shoulder of the adult.
Face to face hug
This kind of hugging posture is also very suitable for newborns, but it is a bit "Fei Dad" and requires Dad's strong and powerful arm strength.
The specific holding position is: adults can support the baby's head and neck with one hand, and support his hips with the other hand, so that the baby's feet are close to the adult's abdomen.
This kind of hugging posture is very conducive to adults communicating with the baby, when the baby is awake, parents can try to use this posture to communicate with the baby.
All in all, newborn newborns, the body is not mature, adults in the process of hugging, to pay special attention to the posture, do not appear not to support the baby's head, while holding the baby while shaking and sleeping, and a long time a posture to hold the baby.
Babies under 3 months old, due to "top-heavy", lack of neck strength, can not fully support their small heads. Therefore, no matter what kind of posture adults take, they must pay special attention to protecting the baby's head.
From the perspective of the physical development of newborns, it is recommended to sleep on their backs, do more prone and head-up exercises, which is not only conducive to parent-child interaction, but also very beneficial to the baby's physical development.
Write to the end:
The statement of "stepping on the life" is unscientific and untrustworthy, but as the "first person to hold the baby", it is not only necessary to carefully select, but also to pay attention to the posture, so as not to hurt the baby.
