New parents will always have problems with parenting one after the baby is born. However, sometimes some of the baby's performance is normal, but it is always treated as a disease by inexperienced parents and begins to become anxious.
Newborn babies are always inexplicably and wonderfully "hard", and the mother mistakenly thinks that the baby is sick
Less than a month old, the girl is the pearl in the palm of her parents, and she looks very cute, pink and tender, like a small enamel doll. However, in the past few days, the mother of the girl has found that the child's body will suddenly become stronger sometimes, but it will disappear after a while.
The mother of the girl feels that this kind of performance is very similar to the "sheep madness" often said by others, which can frighten the mother of the girl, and quickly hold the child to see a doctor. The doctor did various tests and told her mother that she was not "sheep crazy", but a normal physiological reaction of newborns.
In life, many mothers will find that the baby will have such a performance: always very hard, the face is also red, the hands and feet are squeezed hard, so hard. Since it is not physically uncomfortable, why is this happening?
The frequent "hard work" of newborns may be these reasons, not necessarily all bad
Baby exertion is a normal physiological phenomenon
For newborn babies, it is more common to have a hard time, because during the growth and development of newborn babies, skeletal muscles grow faster, and the arms and legs are forced to straighten.
However, the duration of this situation is relatively short, about 1-2 seconds. As your baby grows older, such situations will slowly decrease or even disappear.
Your baby is experiencing growing pains
For small babies, their growth rate is very fast, almost one day a day. In the process of growth, it will also be accompanied by "growth pain", resulting in the baby's physical discomfort, and frequent efforts are sometimes caused by growth pain.
If the baby is growing pain, then it is generally after the baby falls asleep or wakes up, frequently working hard, not only on the face, but also on the body. However, babies with growing pain will not have other uncomfortable reactions, and parents do not need to worry too much.
Transition between sleep levels
If your baby is working hard during sleep, it is likely that your baby is in the process of transitioning light sleep and deep sleep. In the process of sleep transformation, in addition to the strength, there are also the performance of crying and humming.
The digestive system is immature
For babies under 3 months old, they eat more every day, but their gastrointestinal digestion ability is relatively poor, so the digestive burden of the stomach and intestines is relatively heavy. Therefore, when there is flatulence, farting or defecation, there will also be cases of hard work.
Newborn babies always "make up" the quality of sleep, parents do not put this to alleviate
Although it is normal for the baby to work hard often, how can this situation be improved, especially in the process of the baby's sleep, so that the baby sleeps more peacefully?
Give your baby a sense of security
Mothers can be directly close to the skin with the baby, so that each other can feel each other's temperature and heartbeat, such a hug parenting method, can give the baby enough security to a large extent, stabilize the baby's mood.
Do a good massage and touch
If the baby is intestinal colic or flatulence caused by the force, then the mother can do some touches to the baby every day, touch the baby's skin and body, stimulate the skin receptors, the mother rubs the palms of the hand, and massages the baby's abdomen clockwise, which can promote intestinal development and reduce the baby's problem of exertion.
Pay attention to feeding patterns
When feeding the baby, pay attention to the feeding method, especially the feeding posture and speed, which will affect the baby to eat a large amount of air in the stomach, causing flatulence.
Older babies who are still "pushy" may be constipated
Anyone who has been a mother knows that once the baby is playing, suddenly stop and stand in place, do not have to look over, the baby must be "defecating"
If the baby is in such a situation, it is forcefully defecating, if it happens to catch up with the baby's constipation, the state of the baby will be more obvious, especially when the baby adds complementary foods, it is likely to be constipated.
Because the baby is small, the strength is also small, coupled with the stool is slightly dryer, the bowel movement will be difficult, so the child will make it strong, if the constipation is serious, the strength can not be solved, the child will also cry due to discomfort.
If you want to alleviate the baby's constipation, it is best to give the child more water, and you can add some oil to the complementary food, such as lard or chicken fat is the best. In general, it is not recommended to give too small a baby medicine, and the diet is the best.
Kojima would like to say:
For the newborn baby is always "energetic" situation, parents must first judge the baby's possible problems, generally speaking, are normal physiological phenomena, parents should make a good difference between physiological problems and illness, and seek medical treatment in time.
