I saw one thing online, the 7-month-old baby, was coaxed by grandpa into "cerebral palsy".
Grandpa was kind enough to take the baby and shook and coaxed to sleep. Usually, the child will sleep, but this time, the more the child is coaxed, the more he cries. In the end, the family looked wrong and rushed to the hospital.
But it was too late, the doctor said, because the grandfather shook too hard, resulting in the child becoming a "cerebral palsy".
How much of a disaster should this be for a family? What does it mean for a child? His life had only just begun, and it was already frozen.
This is something that everyone who is a parent does not want to see.
Shake the baby, in fact, many people have done it. Why do some children get away with cerebral palsy?
One: These "coaxing" methods are easy to hurt the child's brain
It is mentioned in the Parenting Encyclopedia that when a baby is just born, his brain tissue and the brain wall are not very closely attached, and once it encounters violent shaking, it may lead to brain damage.
In addition to vigorously coaxing, the following common "coaxing" methods are also easy to hurt the child's brain, but many parents do it every day.
Throw your child into the sky
Some parents will throw their children up when they take their babies, and then catch them firmly. When the child was thrown out, he giggled and thought it was funny.
We may feel that it is more dangerous to do this, what if the child falls down if it is not caught?
In fact, in addition to falling down, this action also has a safety hazard, that is, rapid rise and fall, the child's brain may be excessively shaken.
If you are not careful, the brain will be damaged.
Up and down kids
Some parents will put him in their arms and constantly jolt him up and down when they coax him. Bumps also run the risk of excessive shaking, so parents don't do it.
Quick circle rotation
There is a baby dad next to me, who takes the baby's hand and quickly circles when playing with the child. At first, the child had a good time, but after a few turns, the baby fell to the ground and vomited continuously.
Fortunately, he was admitted to the hospital in time, and the child was no big deal. The doctor advised that this kind of rapid rotation action, it is best not to take the baby to do. Adults will feel uncomfortable, let alone children.
There is also the kind of sudden acceleration game in the park, such as roller coaster, or the kind of project that uses centrifugal force to throw children out in circles, and it is not recommended to take children under 4 years old to do it.
Children under the age of 4, the brain is still relatively fragile, the development is not perfect, more suitable for milder games.
Therefore, when we take the baby, we must pay more attention. The kind of rapid rotation and shaking of the baby must be avoided, and it should not be done again.
Two: How to coax children to cry?
When the baby is in the mother's belly, because the mother will continue to move, he is like staying in a cradle, shaking and very comfortable. Therefore, small children naturally like to feel shaken.
When the baby is crying, we hold him and shake him gently, and he usually doesn't cry.
However, if we shake all the time, we will also be tired, and patience will be consumed. When we are impatient, we will inevitably increase our efforts and want the baby to quiet down quickly. But in this way, there is a risk of excessive shaking.
Therefore, in the face of children crying, in addition to shaking, we must also find out the cause and find other ways.
● Gently stroke your baby's belly
Babies are prone to intestinal cramps when they are 0-4 months old. At this time, he will continue to cry due to stomach discomfort.
What we have to do is to alleviate his discomfort.
We can start by rubbing our hands together and then massaging your baby's tummy clockwise to help him vent. The temperature of our palms will make your baby feel comfortable. And the massage can make him smoothly drain the gas in his body, so that he will not cry.
In addition, the baby before the age of 2 is not strong in language expression, he cries but can't say why, we can only be in a hurry.
At this time, we can check the baby's body to see if it is bumping or if the clothes are uncomfortable. You can also see if he is thirsty or hungry, and replenish his energy in time.
When your baby is comfortable, he usually doesn't cry.
● Pay more attention to your baby's emotions
Babies cry, in addition to physical reasons, there are psychological reasons.
For example, it may be that his mother is too busy to pay attention to him, at this time, he will use crying to attract his mother's attention. It is possible to be unaccustomed to the environment and some are afraid. It may also be that you simply want to cry and vent your emotions.
In this case, the mother can play with the child more. You can also take the baby out for a walk to distract the child's attention.
When your baby is attracted to new things from the outside world, he forgets to cry.
Coaxing children is actually a technical job. It not only tests the physical strength of adults, but also tests our patience. When coaxing a baby, we must choose a gentle and gentle way so that the child can grow up healthily.
