In life, whether your child has the following behaviors:
I like to bite my lips, pick my fingers, especially my belly button... I don't know what's wrong.
Friend Wenwen encountered a similar problem, the 3-year-old son likes to touch the navel when he has nothing to do, and he will also use his fingers to cut it, which is fun.
Wenwen stopped it many times, but each time it had little effect!
Most infuriatingly, Pig Teammates often and slime, said:
"Play with the navel, what is the important ???"
Listen, this is what a dad should say, or do you say it, dad has a big heart ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
In fact, a child's navel is similar to biting his lips, picking his nose, and pulling out his ear, which will make people feel inexplicably happy and satisfied.
Feeling not to cut it, the heart is not strong, especially for children, they are active by nature, and there is no binding force, it is easy to produce addictive behavior.
In addition, in addition to the child's love to cut, some parents who love to be clean will often clean the "mud" in the navel for the baby.
But sometimes it's self-defeating: cleaning doesn't work, it does.
Before, a mother in Ningbo cleaned the navel eye mud for her child, but she did not expect to be inflamed the next day and sent to the hospital.
There is also a one-year-old baby who loves to cut her father's navel, and almost "cuts through" the belly, fortunately, there is no danger, but the consequences are unimaginable.
Today, I will ring a wake-up call for you to give you a good look at whether the navel can be cut!
Picking the navel eye is risky
There's an old saying:
"You can't cut your navel, or your intestines will rot."
Although this statement is suspected of exaggeration, it also contains a certain truth.
Because the navel eye, really can not be casually cut, easy to have risks!
Risk of infection
The Navel Biodiversity Project Group of the University of North Carolina in the United States has also done a study of the mud in the navel eye, and the study shows:
There are about 1400 bacteria in the navel, of which 80% are harmless skin parasitic bacteria, and 622 are unknown bacteria.
These bacteria may pose some risk of infection.
The most common umbilitis is the primary harm caused by long-term digging of the navel.
Mainly the structure of the navel itself is concave, which is easy to hide dirt and dirt, resulting in difficulty in cleaning.
At this time, if the child digs with his hands, it will cause damage to the skin in the local part of the navel, and also give dirty things an opportunity.
Bacteria + skin damage, it is easy to cause the risk of infection.
Causes gastrointestinal discomfort
In general, the navel is the remnant of the umbilical cord, which is the link between the supply of fetal nutrition and the transportation of metabolic waste.
But after the child is separated from the mother, it does not have much physiological function.
Simply put, the navel is a "scar", not even the internal organs, nor the intestines.
However, due to the special geographical location of the navel, the abdomen, if the child frequently picks the navel, it may increase the probability of a cold in the abdomen.
Once the abdomen is cold, it will stimulate intestinal peristalsis and reflex nerves, causing gastrointestinal discomfort, such as diarrhea, stomach pain and so on.
Affects aesthetics
Many people will overlook that children's long-term cutting of the navel will actually affect the appearance.
Of course, this is only for people who want to wear crop tops in the summer
Why?
Mainly the child's navel cutting behavior is repeatedly prohibited, after repeated cutting, the navel around the damage and pus, the wound will be scarred after it is healed.
Over time, it will affect the beauty of the body.
It can be seen that the child's navel-picking behavior, parents must stop and guide him, let him change this hand fetish, otherwise it will cause some harm to the body!
Navel, do not over-clean
In life, there may be many parents who have done this:
When taking a bath, look at the child's navel circle black, or there is mud in it, will subconsciously want to clean the child up.
But you know what?
Your child's navel, it is best not to wash it excessively.
The mud inside the navel is actually mainly old and shedding dander, sweat and dust.
It is a truth with the mud on the human body, most of this dirt is not disease-causing, there is no need to clean it up at all times.
And to a certain extent, the mud in the navel eye also has its existence value.
The surface skin of the navel connective tissue is protected by the stratum corneum, which can prevent the invasion of certain bacteria and can also play a role in regulating body temperature.
If parents wash too much or clean improperly, it will destroy the stratum corneum and then cause the risk of infection.
Of course, everything is not absolute, and if you don't clean your navel for a long time, it is easy for bacteria to breed.
Therefore, in the following cases, it is necessary to clean up appropriately
In addition, parents also pay attention to the method of cleaning the navel of their children every day
Remember that no matter what kind of cleaning method, it should not be excessive, keep it 1-2 times a month!
The child loves to pick the navel, so solve it
There may be parents who have this question:
Everyone understands the truth, but when it comes to implementation, it has its own difficulties.
Because in the eyes of many parents, such as biting the lips, picking the navel and other behaviors, it is as addictive as children playing mobile phones, and they can't quit if they want to quit.
In fact, no, the behavior of children can be guided, we can do this -
First, remove the physical factors
Look at the child's navel, whether it is the bacteria in the navel, or what foreign body makes him feel uncomfortable, and then he wants to cut the navel.
Second, the child's curiosity is at stake
In addition to pathological factors, some children like to touch the navel and pick the navel, which is pure curiosity, not itching or pain.
At this time, parents must calm their minds, do not come up to yell "not allowed to touch", or start playing.
The best thing to do is for parents to channel their children's curiosity.
For example, first satisfy the child's curiosity about the navel, take the initiative to take the baby to touch the navel, and tell the child the origin of the navel.
Pairing it with a book or picture book about the navel will deepen your child's understanding, so that your child's curiosity about the navel will be greatly reduced.
Finally, the child's habits dictate
Touching the navel, the child is easy to form a habit, subconsciously want to touch, to cut, such as after falling asleep, the hand will also touch the past.
At this time, we must gradually help the child to correct.
The navel, as an organization of the human body, looks "light and light", but it is also enough to grind people when it is a demon.
So, we must treat it well —
In life, parents should abandon the psychology of loving cleanliness and clean up their children's navels from time to time.
At the same time, it is necessary to correct and guide the child's behavior of loving to pick the navel, and do not let the child grow up with bad habits because of small mistakes.
In short, do not let your own temporary negligence, to the child's navel to invite disaster, more than worth the loss!
