After the baby is born, all the thoughts of the mother are placed on the baby. For the baby's every move, from strange to familiar, and then to the palm of the hand, whether it is the baby's crying, or a baby's expression or action, the mother can understand and know the meaning of the baby. In order for the baby to grow up healthily, the mothers have poured all their energy and efforts.
Many mothers find that the newborn baby is 6 months ago, although it is slightly jerky when taking care of the baby, the baby may grow up healthily under the care of the mother and rarely get sick. But what makes Bao Mom wonder is that when the baby is 6 months later, Bao Mom is more comfortable taking care of the baby, but no matter how carefully Bao Mom takes care of the baby, the baby is still prone to illness and colds, which seems to become an unbreakable spell, making Bao Mom wonder.
Is it true that babies are so susceptible to getting sick after 6 months?
When it comes to babies getting sick easily, many people will think that it is because the baby is still young and the body's resistance is weak. But many people do not delve into a question, that is, the newborn baby before 6 months, why is it not so easy to get sick?
I believe that mothers have such an experience, as a novice mother, everything about newborns will feel strange. Moms take care of their babies carefully, and although mistakes are repeated, babies 6 months ago rarely get sick.
In fact, the reason why babies before 6 months are not easy to get sick is largely due to the role of breast milk. Babies 6 months ago can obtain a large amount of immunoglobulins through breast milk, thereby enhancing the immunity of the baby's body and freeing the baby from diseases.
Although the baby is not adapted to this strange world, through breastfeeding and intimate contact with the mother, the baby can get great comfort psychologically and physically, thus alleviating the baby's bad emotions.
However, when the baby is 6 months old, it is often necessary to start to quit milk and then eat complementary foods, and the baby needs a process of adaptation. Moreover, it is not possible to obtain immunoglobulins from breast milk as before. In addition, babies are exposed to more things and are more exposed to bacteria.
People eating grains is easy to get sick, and the baby begins to eat complementary foods, and the demand for food has increased, which also increases the chance of children getting sick. After 6 months, the baby's immune system has not yet been established and is forming. Babies not only need to adapt to obtain nutrients from complementary foods, but also need to obtain nutrients needed by the body's immune system from food to build their own immune system, which also leads to the baby's more frequent illness after 6 months.
After the baby is 6 months, what can the mother do to better protect the baby and avoid the baby from getting sick less?
Nutritional aspects
After 6 months, if possible, you can continue to breastfeed your baby or mix it with breast milk formula. Milk powder also contains some nutrients that enhance your baby's immunity.
Although the baby will add complementary foods after 6 months, the baby in this period needs a stage of adaptation to eat complementary foods. Mothers should not completely hope that the baby can obtain how much nutrition through complementary foods, and do not hope that the baby can obtain enough nutrients to enhance immunity through food.
Therefore, when adding complementary foods to the baby, do not be too hasty, you should gradually add a food one by one, give the baby an adaptation period, so as to avoid problems when adding complementary foods, which in turn leads to the baby's prone to gastrointestinal diseases, or some other disease problems.
Pay attention to adding or subtracting clothes to your baby in time
Moms are concerned about the baby's cold and warm, but it is often easy to enter a misunderstanding. That is, I always feel that the baby is cold, and then I keep adding clothes to the baby, forgetting that the baby will also be afraid of heat and need to reduce clothing.
For the baby, it is often cold and hot, if it is hot, it is more likely to have problems, and occasionally a little cold, the baby will not necessarily catch a cold. To know that the baby's body temperature is originally higher than adults, metabolism is also faster than adults, if the clothes are worn too much or covered too much, it is easy to cause the baby to sweat frequently, uncomfortable kicking the quilt, so that the baby wears more, cover more, will not be warm.
Exercise appropriately
Babies after 6 months are also more active. Some mothers are worried that the baby is too active, frequently moving hands and feet, will tire themselves or hurt themselves, which will limit the baby's frequent activities. There are also some mothers who think that the baby is still young and will not consider the problem that the baby also needs exercise.
After 6 months, the baby has the basic motor ability, we can not only play with the baby, help the baby move hands and feet, but also help the baby to do some exhaust exercises to help the baby digest.
After 6 months, your baby can start doing turnaround exercises. Helping the baby exercise more can also improve the baby's ability to all aspects of the body, so that the baby can grow healthier.
Often take the baby out to play, breathe fresh air, bask in the sun, these are very good for the baby's health.
Finally, pay attention to ensure that the baby sleeps enough, the baby sleeps deliciously, and the body is naturally healthier.
When feeding the baby, we must remember a sentence, that is, "if you want to be safe, three points of hunger and cold." Don't overfeed your baby, or overwear your baby, which is helpful for your baby's good health, prevention and avoidance of your baby getting sick.
