Newborn babies can't speak and can only judge their physical condition by their behavior.
In the face of newborns, many new parents will feel overwhelmed, their bodies are too soft, afraid that they will not control their strength and hurt them, and they will not speak, they will only use crying to express everything, it is really torturous!
Therefore, many parents judge the child's current state by observing his behavior, poop, and expression, and even if he is an inexperienced parent, he can slowly become a master of the details of everything!
The various "strange" movements of newborns are innate skills that reveal health levels
The little hands are always clenched, even if they are sweating, they will not open
Many parents will find that their baby's small hands are always clenched, just like when they leave a souvenir for their children's handprints, their children are also very uncooperative, and even cry for a long time, like doing something extremely reluctant.
And when the mother puts her finger in the child's hand, the child can immediately hold it tightly, and the force is still very large! It's not at all like the strength a newborn child should have. It will even make the mother doubt, is my child born with divine power?
In fact, such a situation is the instinct of newborns, when they are just born, the flexor force is very large, which is a kind of protection for their own body, far greater than the extensor force, so even if it is forced to break their hands, as long as there is no external interference, they will soon grasp back.
Such a situation will also slowly disappear in about three months, when the child's hand is no longer clenched in the fist. It means that their brains have entered the next stage of development and growth, because the power control of the small limbs of the hand requires the brain to give orders.
In the face of external stimuli, there will be a startled reflex
When the child remains stationary, suddenly hearing the outside world's noises and stimuli, and even the mother's touch, will make them have this shock reflex, the main manifestation is to open their arms and immediately withdraw, accompanied by loud crying.
This reflex is instinctive, and children can spontaneously perform emergency responses as long as they are born without the help and guidance of anyone. This is the same as the sigh and shouting of adults after being frightened, and they must vent their inner feelings.
At this time, parents will feel worried, if the child is often frightened by this kind of fright, will it limit their brain development? Would you be scared silly? These seemingly absurd questions can indeed be understood and felt empathy.
If there is a condition, parents should still try to ensure the quiet and stability of the surrounding environment, do not let them have this fear of psychology, and when the child is three months later, this behavior often occurs, it must be paid attention to, to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, to understand whether the child's brain is really scared silly!
Newborns are lifted upright and walk unconsciously
This kind of behavior will make new parents feel very interesting, the newborn child is picked up upright, once the feet touch the ground, it will make a walking behavior, although it is only a few steps, but it looks like it is about to learn to walk.
Of course, this is an unconscious behavior, does not mean that the child can learn to walk immediately, after all, under normal circumstances, until the age of one or so children can have a variety of requirements for walking, including physical requirements, psychological requirements and so on.
But this behavior is not meaningless, can tell the parents and others, the child, but very healthy, there is no damage to the brain, if born intellectually impaired, these instinctive behaviors are no longer present.
Alpaca mom has something to say:
In addition, there are many interesting reflex behaviors in newborns, such as self-sucking and independent search for the mother's nipples, which look like the child will be trained and guided, and it is not at all like a newborn child who is not familiar with the world can do it.
Therefore, for new parents, the road to scientific parenting is very long, and we must have enough patience and observation to help children grow faster and better, and intervene and guide them as soon as problems are found.
