Today, on the question of a mother from the other day, I would like to make the following answers:
Let me remember what my child looked like when I was a child, when my son just came home and indeed every time I took a bath, the family was very careful, every time it was two people helping and washing again, but at that time I was not worried about the child's spine problems, and I was afraid that one person could not hold the baby and hurt. So does bathing your baby really take two people to do it? Today, let's talk about how to properly bathe your baby.
Do two people have to work together to bathe your baby?
On this question, we first start with the most fundamental place, what does the baby's spine look like?
Simply put, there are three transition periods in your baby's spine
The entire spine of the baby is generally straight at birth, there is no bending point, and the cervical spine of the neck will begin to bend after the baby raises his head again before the baby is 3 months old, but the spine is still vertical.
Babies up to 6 months old will form a second curvature in the spine: the thoracic vertebrae are convex, the spine becomes "C"-shaped, and the baby can sit up without relying on support.
Around the age of 1, the spine under the back will bulge forward, and the spine will become "S" shaped, at this time the baby can walk on its own without support.
Sum up:
The baby's spine development should be observed, and protected without changing the shape due to external forces, so it is recommended to support the baby's neck and spine to prevent deformation when bathing, and considering the baby's leg bone development problems, the legs are bent as much as possible, so the legs also need some support.
On the whole, the baby's spine is generally well developed after the age of 1, and it can be relatively relaxed, but before the age of 1, it may still need the careful protection of parents. But considering that the baby bathing before the age of 1 is actually relatively fast, try not to delay too long, the baby is actually easy to clean up, because the fight is quickly resolved.
If no one at home can help, it is recommended to take a look at these tools:
Extended Questions:
How many days does your baby take a bath?
A: It is generally recommended that you can clean every day in the summer, use clean water to quickly clean it, and you can clean it up every day.
In winter, it is generally recommended to wash 3 times a week or more.
Does my baby need a bath lotion?
No, use water, but if you need to use a baby-specific bath liquid, the baby's skin is prone to allergies, it is recommended that you can wipe it with a lotion after bathing.
