Many parents have heard of the idea that "babies are born to swim", and you can also see pictures or videos of infants swimming on the Internet, many parents are very confused about this, is this true or special effects? In fact, the baby is born to swim, because of the baby's four reflexes, the baby can not only swim backstroke, climb and tread water, but also diving, today's China Baby Swim Network to explain the four natural reflexes of baby swimming.
Swimming reflex: put the newborn in the water and make him lie prone, he will use the limbs to coordinate the swimming action, this reflex is the swimming reflex, now many hospitals in the newborn swimming are based on swimming reflex, which is also the main dependence of the baby swimming, but this reflex will gradually disappear after six months of the baby, so the newborn's first swim is best within six months.
Stepping reflex: put the baby in the water, his legs are unsteadily swapped to kick the water, do the stepping reflex, and walking is somewhat similar, which is also the reason why the baby swimming baby learns to walk and crawl faster, and the baby based on the stepping reflex will soon learn to tread the water.
Morrow reflex: Babies in bed will appear to have their arms straight, fingers open, back stretched or bent, head back, legs straight, arms hugging each other, this reflex is also conducive to baby swimming, will disappear within 3-5 months.
Aerated breath reflex: the baby's nose and throat will naturally close for some reasons, the eyes will naturally open, the baby who has undergone intensive exercise is more skilled in mastering breathing skills, can dive in the water, drink milk will also avoid choking, and the baby's aerophetic reflex without intensive exercise will disappear after 6-8 months.
It can be seen that because of the four reflexes of the baby swimming, they swim as early as possible anyway, after 6 months the baby will be because of the disappearance of reflexes, fear of water, fear of strangers and unwilling to go into the water, early participation in swimming babies will develop habits, continue to exercise, immunity, limb coordination exercises and so on to let the baby develop ahead.
From the perspective of exercise, with the help of water buoyancy, the baby can move the muscles, bones and joints of the whole body under low gravity conditions, which can not only strengthen the body, but also help food digestion, promote sleep, enhance exercise ability, promote cardiopulmonary development, promote brain development, and have great help for the healthy development of the baby's body and mind. Therefore, if you do not take your baby to swim, you must let your baby try to swim as soon as possible and develop the habit of long-term persistence.
