When Dani was pregnant, her mother-in-law came from the countryside to take care of her, and she was very grateful to her mother-in-law.
But after the birth of the child, the two of them had several conflicts over parenting.
One
The first contradiction is that when the child girl was just 6 days old, the mother-in-law told Dany that you should give the child some water, the child will not drink so much breast milk when he drinks water, drink less breast milk, and the child's belly will not be so big.
You see now the child's stomach is so big and so bloated, always give the child to drink breast milk is easy to flatulence, so that the child does not sleep well at night.
But Dani bought a lot of parenting books when she was pregnant, and she saw that the books said that the child was exclusively breastfed before 6 months and did not need to be fed water, otherwise it would lead to malnutrition of the child, or insufficient breast milk intake, affecting the growth and development of the child.
Two
So she reasoned with her mother-in-law, when the child is small, the stomach is very small, you can't drink much milk if you feed him water, such a child will not grow tall!
The mother-in-law said: "My three children are so fed, you see that not all of them are tall and tall now, my sons are more than 1 meter 75, my daughter also has 1 meter 6, you are right to listen to me."
It is true that many of the experiences of the elderly in caring for children have been moved over, but these experiences are not necessarily scientific.
Although they have raised several children before, it is important to know that the malnutrition rate of children in the past is very high.
Now with the development of medical level, with the progress of society, living conditions have become better, we must be more scientific in raising children.
A few old experiences of the mother-in-law to take care of the newborn, in fact, in the pit baby, the mother should not listen
Old lesson one: Children should drink water
For example, when Dani's mother-in-law said that the child drank less water and drank less breast milk, the stomach was not so big.
In fact, whether the child drinks water or breast milk, his stomach will look relatively large, which is relatively speaking, and the child drinking breast milk is easier to digest than drinking milk powder, and it is not easy to flatulence.
Because the stomach capacity of newborns is relatively small, the stomach capacity is only the size of a marble at birth, which is about 7 ml. By the time a child is born, only about 30 milliliters of breast milk can be drunk.
Therefore, his stomach capacity is very small, and the mother gives the child a few sips of water, which will lead to the child's reluctance to drink milk again, which will lead to insufficient intake of breast milk and malnutrition.
Exclusively breastfed children do not need to drink water until 6 months.
Lesson two: Give your child a pillow
There are even some local customs that when a child is born, a hard book or a relatively hard pillow is used to pad the child, so that the child can sleep flat on the back of the head.
In the Qing Dynasty, because everyone had to braid, if the head was flat, it would look better, but now it is found that the head shape of the flat head is not good.
It is not recommended for mothers to use hard pillows for their children, or even for pillows.
Because the curvature of the newborn's body has not yet formed, the use of a pillow will make his entire respiratory tract bend, affecting his breathing and affecting his sleep.
Old lesson three: milking a newborn baby.)
The doctor of the breast department once urged that mothers should not milk the newborn's nipple, and the child will have some transient breast swelling in about 7 days of birth, and this swelling will naturally disappear.
If adults go to squeeze, it is easy to squeeze the delicate skin of the child, and even hurt the breast, and even affect the child's growth, if it is a girl's will affect breastfeeding.
Old Lesson Four: Give the newborn a urine
Many mothers in the child's birth, holding the child feel soft collapse is not good to hold, this time to the child to urinate, the child's body is easy to fall backwards and west, easy to hurt the child's spine.
It may also break your child's joints and hurt your child's health.
Studies have also found that children urinate from a young age, and it is more difficult for them to learn to go to the toilet independently when they grow up.
Children have some old experience in the process of growing up, may be in the "pit" baby, mothers must not be biased.
