If the newborn doesn't cry, the nurse will cry at him, and the reason behind it is really not superstition! Parents should know
01
Not long ago, a beautiful colleague in the office suddenly asked everyone
"Do you know why newborns cry?"
To be honest, although I am already a father of two children
And I still remember that the children seemed to be crying loudly, especially the son who was beaten by the nurse and cried
But I'm very vague about the reasons behind this
I vaguely remember that there seems to be some superstitious statement
Just as I was about to answer this, other colleagues had already given various answers
"Why else, children feel very scared when they first arrive in this world?"
"Definitely not afraid, I think the child is in pain, you think about the newborn to cut the umbilical cord ah"
"I saw a saying that a child was born to be able to see his own life, and I guess he couldn't help but cry when he thought of the suffering he would encounter in the future."
Colleagues have different opinions, which can be described as having their own opinions
I listened to it and really felt that each of them had some truth in what they said
Just then, the colleague who asked the question added another question
"Do you know why nurses still cry when children don't cry?"
As soon as the problem came out, other colleagues naturally talked about it
The more I listened, the more confused I became, so I checked a lot of information after I came home from work that day
It turned out that this statement that newborns must cry was not actually superstitious!

In fact, there are scientific reasons why newborns have to cry
Today, from the perspective of a newborn, I will tell you why it is necessary to cry as soon as a child is born
Everyone knows that newborns are generally born around 10 months pregnant
At this time, the newborn has become larger and larger in the mother's body, so his growth needs more and more
The space and nutrients in the mother's body are completely insufficient to provide for the baby's needs
Therefore, at this stage, the baby needs to live in the outside world
The baby comes from the mother's belly to the outside world and must go through a process of childbirth
Before giving birth, they will also send signals to mothers intimately, such as "see red" and so on
And when the mother receives this birth signal, they will immediately know that their baby is coming out
So I packed up my things and went to the hospital
Then, with the help of doctors and nurses, the baby will leave the womb and come out into the outside world
The doctor then cuts the umbilical cord and allows the mother to completely separate from the mother
For babies, the reason why they can eat, sleep and sleep in the mother's body is that they live a small life in peace and stability
It's because they have umbilical cords and placentas to feed them and excrete substances they don't need
Then this is when the baby leaves the umbilical cord and placenta with the help of the baby
If they want to live, they have to rely on themselves
Crying means that your baby has learned to breathe on his own
And in the process of crying, the chest cavity and lung lobes that were originally curled up in the mother's body were also fully extended
Not only does it suck in fresh oxygen outside, but it also emits carbon dioxide
This means that the more your baby cries, the louder it gets
The better he breathes, the healthier his body will be
But parents should also pay attention to what we think is crying
In fact, it is not that the child is really crying, after all, they do not have too many thoughts and emotions at this time
Therefore, "crying" at this time cannot be regarded as crying in the true sense
At this time, crying is more in the process of breathing, through the carbon dioxide impact on the vocal cords, resulting in a whimpering sound after vibration
In addition, due to the increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood during the process of crying
So the baby often cries louder and louder, in fact, ah, is to inhale oxygen
So most newborns come to the world with a loud cry
And when some babies can't cry, doctors and nurses will try all kinds of ways to make babies cry out
For example, pinch the sole of the foot, stroke the back, or gently pat the butt
At this time, parents must not misunderstand medical staff or even clash because they are distressed by their children
You know, when they do this, they are simply guiding children to learn to breathe!

It can be said that crying is the first skill that newborns must master when they come into this world
Understand the reasons behind it, I believe that many parents also understand why when they meet a baby who can't cry
Gentle doctors and nurses can suddenly become "brutal."
In fact, this is all for the sake of the baby's life
Everyone knows when the baby has not yet come into this world before
They all live in mom's warm womb
There, as long as the baby needs oxygen and various nutrients
Mothers feed their babies from the bloodstream through the umbilical cord and placenta
However once out of the mother's womb
Children descend into the outside world through the birth canal, and then they can no longer rely on their mother's mother's mother
And you must learn to survive on your own
Crying is the biggest sign that they have completed their separation from the mother's body and announced their new birth
Once the baby has mastered this "crying" skill, he has completed his first cry in the world
Then they have completed the process of rebirth completely
In addition, the mother's space in the womb is limited
Therefore, the baby's position in the womb is usually curled up
At that time, the baby's chest cavity is also curled up
And once they come to the outside world, the whole body stretches out
At this time, the chest cavity is also opened
More and more fresh oxygen is needed
At this time, only when they cry out, they will smoothly breathe the oxygen outside
Thus ensuring the needs of their own lives
It is worth mentioning that at this time, although the babies are crying very loudly
It's loud, but if you look closely, you'll find out
At this time, most of the baby's cries are dry howls
And not accompanied by tears
Of course, there are also some babies who are more special, and they will also secrete precious tears in the first cry
Well, that's all that has been said
I think many parents should also understand that there is a scientific basis behind the reason why the first cry in life becomes particularly important
It is also essential for the healthy growth of the baby's entire life and future
As moms and dads, when we find our kids crying very badly
Or being beaten by nurses and doctors because we don't cry, we don't have to worry at all
There is no need to feel sorry for the child, because crying is normal
It is not normal not to cry
When a child cries normally, it means that he has mastered the rhythm of breathing
After that, the baby will become healthier and healthier, and under the care and protection of the mother and other family members, they will grow up healthily day by day
Some people say that when you are born, you cry, and everyone else laughs
Indeed, when the sound of the child's loud cries resounded throughout the delivery room, whether it was the mother on the delivery bed or the father and other family members outside the delivery room
Everyone's original nervous mood can also relax
Instead, it should be the joy of the new life!
Well, that's it for today, see you next time
