Wen | Yuan's mother's parenting diary original, welcome to forward and share personally
When babies are not fully equipped with certain abilities, they need to be carefully cared for and protected by parents.
Especially for babies who have entered this stage of the oral period, there are some special "habits", in order for the baby to pass smoothly and reduce the probability of accidents, parents need to prepare and learn more.
The girl's lips jammed into the electric nail clippers, and eventually the inner lip was cut off
A few days ago, firefighters in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, received a special police call, a 1-year-old baby girl accidentally stuck her lips into the home's electric nail clippers while playing.
Because it is electric, at the moment when the baby's lips are stuck, it tightly "tethers" the soft part of the lips, and the pain and fear make the baby cry and make people cry together.
Firefighters use various tools such as chainsaws and pliers to try to "disintegrate" the electric nail clippers, but because they are too close to the lips, it is impossible to avoid the lips and remove the electric nail clippers.
The firefighters communicated with the doctors and tried hard for a long time, but they still did not succeed.
In desperation, in the end, the doctor could only surgically cut off a small part of the girl's "inner lip" before completely removing the electric nail clippers. Thinking about how soft and fragile the lips are, this result is also a blessing in disguise.
Parents who saw these videos couldn't help but tremble a little, if it was ordinary nail clippers, they might not be put by the baby's mouth, even if they were placed in the mouth, they would not trigger the switch to occur such a tragedy.
But is it really the nail clippers' fault? Even if it is not an electric nail clipper, all kinds of other small objects can be put in the mouth by the child, which is just as dangerous.
The key is that parents should understand the stages and characteristics of their baby's development and actively cope with it, rather than waiting for the tragedy to begin to be aware of it.
The oral period is an important stage in the baby's development and cannot be ignored!
Suddenly one day, parents will find that the baby always likes to put what is in the eyes and in the hand into the mouth to taste, if this happens, then it means that the period of appetite has arrived.
Babies from birth to 2 years old before may be the oral period, this period of the baby likes to get a certain pleasure through oral activities, if this stage of oral activity is limited, may form dependence, pessimism, cleanliness and other "oral personality", alcoholism, smoking and other behaviors.
The oral period is an important stage for the baby to know himself and the world, and it is also one of the most frequent stages to establish contact with the mother, in the first stage of the oral period, the baby will first know his body by eating hands and feet.
In the second stage of the oral period, babies who have a full understanding of themselves begin to recognize the surrounding environment, and all the objects in sight will be put into the mouth as much as possible to feel it.
The last stage of the appetite period is the baby's exploration of taste, through a variety of foods the baby will establish their own taste buds, eat more and more variety of things.
Safety is the biggest problem in your baby's appetite period
The oral period is a part of the baby's learning and understanding of the world, but "the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger", but no matter what can be put in the mouth, what can not be put into the mouth, the probability of accidents becomes greater.
Therefore, safety is the most important problem for parents to pay attention to during the baby's oral period, the following baby's oral desire period, these things parents must pay attention to!
1. Do not prevent the baby from exploring
When the child put the dirty little hands, smelly feet and various unknown objects into his mouth, the old father and the old mother subconsciously roared to stop it.
But the baby in this period will not give up their own exploration because of the parents' resistance, if the parents often prevent the baby from exploring, it is not conducive to the formation of personality.
Be sure to follow the law of development, your inhibition will not make the baby's behavior disappear, so let the baby explore freely under the premise of ensuring safety.
2. Guide children to play with toys correctly and put away dangerous items
If you don't know anything about the use of toys, no matter what toy baby must think of putting in the mouth to study, then parents must show the baby the correct way to play after buying a new toy;
Use sound and color to attract your baby's attention and reduce his desire to bite the toy. In addition, many items with safety hazards or inherently dangerous must be placed in places that the baby cannot reach.
3. Provide your baby with clean, nibbling items
Babies in the oral period need to work non-stop with small mouths, and what parents can do is to provide a variety of different small objects for the baby to let the baby "vent", but these bite items must be cleaned and disinfected frequently, so that they will not get sick from the mouth.
4. More companionship diverts the baby's attention
In the case of being accompanied, the baby's biting action will be reduced a lot, so parents should often accompany and caress the baby, which not only distracts the baby's attention, but also stimulates the baby's skin touch.
Accidents and dangers often occur in an instant, but the consequences are beyond anyone's control.
For young children, less danger is a guarantee for healthy growth, and you as a parent must pay attention to it!
