Newborns are very delicate, and one careless can be vulnerable.
Many of the concepts handed down by the ancestors to take care of newborns are not necessarily correct, and it is very likely that they are pit children.
Many grandmothers are still obsessed with the old experience of bringing children before, but they are actually pitting children.
Found that grandma blindly and diligently do 7 things, mother do not fear offending the elderly, immediately stop
Thing #1: Pick a horse's teeth for your child
Some children grow a tooth-like thing when they are born.
This is actually a kind of keratinized tissue formed by the epidermal tissue on the tooth plate, which will slowly grow to the mucous membrane and fall off on its own as the child ages, without having to deal with it.
But some grandmothers say that they must pick out the horse teeth for the child, otherwise the child's teeth will not grow well in the future.
As everyone knows, such blindness and diligence may affect the child's oral health, in case the child is infected, it is a pit baby.
Thing 2: Pick the dirt on your child's head
After some newborns are born, there will be some scaly pale yellow and greasy patches, which look very ugly.
Some parents think that the child's head has not been washed and has head scale, which is actually not head scale, but cradle caps.
This is actually because the mother is affected by hormones when the fetus is pregnant, resulting in excessive secretion of sebaceous glands causing seborrheic dermatitis, when the child's sebaceous gland secretion is not so strong, it will slowly get better.
If the grandmother directly uses her hands to pick it, it may damage the child's scalp and cause infection.
The correct treatment is to massage the plaque with olive oil, soften it and then wash it off.
Thing 3: Give your breastfed child water
When the newborn is born, the stomach capacity is very small, he can only drink a few mouthfuls of milk, at this time to feed the child boiled water, or sugar water or yellow water, will affect the child's desire to suck.
The child's unwillingness to suck the mother's breast milk after drinking water can easily lead to a decrease in milk secretion, and the child does not drink enough milk, which is not conducive to his gastrointestinal maturity and his growth and development.
Thing 4: Wash your child's nose
Some newborns are born with nasal congestion or a loud nose because they have some secretions.
Some grandmothers will use cotton swabs to clean up the secretions in the nasal cavity of the child, so that it is easy to hurt the child when the child is struggling.
As long as it does not affect the child's breathing, it does not need to be processed.
Thing #5: Pluck your ears
When the child is born, there may be amniotic fluid stuffed into the ear, so it looks a little dirty.
At this time, if the grandmother wants to dig the ear of the child with a digging ear spoon, the mother must stop it in time.
Because the child's ears are relatively small and fragile, digging the child's ears can easily damage the child's eardrum and cause otitis media.
Thing 6: Milk the nipples
From time to time, emergency department doctors and breast doctors receive children whose milking heads cause inflammation or even fever in the mammary glands.
In the past, there was a saying that after the child was born, the swollen nipples should be squeezed, so that the child's breasts could develop better later, which was unfounded!
About a week after the birth of the child, it will lead to the transient development of the breast because of the hormones brought by the body, as long as the parents do not care, it will slowly fade.
If the grandmother squeezes it, it is likely to damage the child's delicate skin and cause infection, so the mother must stop the blind and diligent behavior of the grandmother.
Thing #7: Tie your child's feet
The child sleeps restlessly and moves around, and when the child is born, it is like a frog, the feet are always bent, and the child's feet will be tied up with a rope, and the child's feet will become straighter later! Such a statement is also nonsense.
When the child is in the mother's womb, because there is not enough place, so it is normal for the hands and feet to curl up, and when he is born, he likes to shrink his hands and feet because he is insecure, and slowly when the child grows up, his legs will naturally straighten.
If the child's hands and feet are tied up, it will not only lead to the child's hands and feet not being able to move freely, but also may affect the child's blood circulation and hurt the child because it is too tightly tied, so the mother must not let the grandmother tie the child up.
Take care of newborns, many grandmothers will do the above 7 things, in fact, it is a kind of harm to the child, mothers must not be afraid of offending the elderly, as soon as they see it, they will stop it immediately.
