Wen | Yuan's mother's parenting diary original, welcome to forward and share personally
The newborn's body is incomparably delicate, especially for new parents, in the face of the sudden arrival of small life, although it has been long awaited, but more is nervous and afraid.
Because all parts of the body are still in the stage of development and perfection, it is necessary to be more careful with small babies, but because novice parents do not have experience with babies, it is easy to "make mistakes".
"Don't squeeze my nipples, it hurts"
Newborns are born shortly after birth, and there are still estrogen in the body, especially in female babies, so there will be lumps or galactorrhea in the breast area. The popular saying about newborns is that it is necessary to "milk the nipple", that is, to squeeze the lotion in the breast.
But in fact, regardless of men and women, the skin of newborns is very delicate, milking this "violence" can easily hurt the baby's skin, causing infection leading to inflammation, serious will also lead to sepsis, the baby only feels pain.
"Washing your face with milk only causes skin diseases"
The value of mother's milk naturally goes without saying, sometimes milk will accidentally get on the baby's face, and some parents will directly use excess milk to wash the baby's face, thinking that it is beneficial to the skin.
But in fact, milk contains a lot of protein, staying on the baby's skin for a long time, easy to block the baby's facial pores, breeding bacteria, not only no benefit but also easy to induce skin diseases.
"I'm really uncomfortable when I'm shaking"
The most common way to coax the baby to sleep is to shake, parents think that imitating the cradle can make the baby fall asleep faster, but most parents can not grasp the amplitude and strength, many times when shaking the baby cries because the parents' shaking is very uncomfortable.
Shaking your baby's head will spin out of control, damaging the brain and affecting intellectual development. Vigorous shaking or "lifting high" will cause the brain tissue to have a fierce "collision" in the skull, causing a series of problems, and it is not necessary to shake and play with the baby.
"Pinching the bridge of the nose doesn't help the nose to become straight"
Many elderly people like to pinch the nose bridge of newborns or incompletely developed babies, thinking that the nose can look good after growing up from a small pinch bridge, until now there are still many adults who like to pinch their nose bridge.
But in fact, pinching the bridge of the nose is not helpful for a straight nose, but because the nose bone of infants and young children is relatively soft, frequent pinching may increase the risk of collapsing the nose bridge.
"Just because you cover up too much doesn't mean your baby is really comfortable"
Warming up babies is more common in the elderly, because they have experienced hard days and are more eager for warmth, but the family heat preservation in modern life is still done very well.
Therefore, many elderly people like to dress and cover the baby with three layers of outer three layers, and it is not a good thing to cover the baby with a sweaty face.
Baby's metabolism to be more vigorous, when the body is too hot, it is necessary to dissipate moisture through the skin to achieve the purpose of heat dissipation, water evaporation will cause insufficient blood circulation, but it is easy to make the baby high fever, eczema, sleep bad and many other problems.
"It's easier to get sick in a sterile environment"
Baby resistance is weak, it is easy to be targeted by viruses and bacteria, many parents like to make the home into a "sterile environment", all things that come into contact with the baby must be disinfected and cleaned, eager to get laboratory testing.
In fact, the establishment of the baby's immune system does not have to be in a sterile environment, but it is necessary to stimulate the formation of the immune system and improve the baby's resistance.
New parents must have many problems with their babies for the first time, and they can't avoid falling into the misunderstanding. Parents have the opportunity to learn and grow, but children are not guinea pigs and cannot be "experimented". As you are about to become a parent, it is still necessary to learn more!
