Many new parents find that babies after the full moon do not like to be held horizontally, and will always show various resistance and fuss;
But when I hug it vertically, it is very quiet, and it seems to be very beautiful, why is this?
Why does the baby like to be "held vertically" so much, and whether such a small baby can be held vertically will not hurt the baby's cervical spine?
Why doesn't your baby like to "hug horizontally"?
The baby's brain has developed to a certain extent, and he is not willing to be "bored"!
When "holding horizontally", the baby sees most of the monotonous ceiling, the baby has begun to be rich in the heart, full of curiosity about everything around him, he also wants to see all the new things around him and understand the surrounding environment.
The baby finds that when "hugging vertically", it can satisfy his "curiosity", so the baby will refuse to hold horizontally and prefer to be held vertically.
But from another point of view, this also reflects from the side that the baby is becoming more and more "smart".
If you resist, it means that the baby has ideas, that his brain is developing rapidly, and that the earlier such a performance occurs, the earlier the baby's brain develops.
Since then, some views have regarded "the performance of the baby crying and laughing when the baby hugs horizontally" as a manifestation of the baby's intelligence.
Can a three-month-old baby stand up?
Three-month-old babies are not suitable for being held upright for too long.
Three-month-old babies, the head is large and the body is small, the muscle strength is still relatively weak, and can not support the weight of their heads for a long time, which is why many parents do not support the "vertical holding of the baby", afraid of affecting the baby's cervical spine development.
But in fact, as long as you master the vertical posture and protect the baby's neck and waist, you can hold it less vertically for a while, and the time is not too long.
In addition, shaking the baby while holding it upright is likely to cause damage to the baby's brain.
Because the baby's brain is not yet fully developed at this time, it is a soft and soft clump, and it is not too much to describe it as "tofu brain".
Excessive and frequent shaking by parents will cause collisions between the baby's brain and skull, which will affect intelligence.
Because each baby develops differently, some babies develop relatively fast.
Even if it is only two months, but the baby's cervical spine development is close to the level of the three-month baby, then there is no need to worry about this problem.
But if the baby develops slowly, the body or cervical spine is still very soft, and the head is not good, then it is necessary to pay more attention to the baby's development and safety.
Distract your baby
Many parents have developed the habit of holding the baby vertically as soon as they cry, and over time, the baby has formed the habit of liking "vertical hug".
In this case, in addition to the vertical hug, you can also try to "distract the baby".
For example, there are toys that can make sounds or bright colors to tease the baby, or buy a toy such as a stepping piano for the baby to play.
Not only does it make the baby feel fun, but it can also make a variety of music and sounds, which will also attract the baby and alleviate the baby's crying.
Baby after three months
It is better to take it outdoors
After three months, the neck bend has been formed, and it is good to take it outdoors for a walk.
The baby's brain development is inseparable from the stimulation of the outside world, and there are rich sources of stimulation outdoors, whether it is sound or rich colors and various things that the baby has never seen.
It will bring stimulation to the baby in sight, touch, hearing and smell, thereby promoting the neuronal links in the baby's brain and further stimulating the baby's intellectual development.
