Have you ever encountered this situation while taking a baby?
The baby was playing well, and suddenly cried, as if frightened, crying heartbreakingly.
Finally, the baby will nest in the mother's arms, tugging on the mother's clothes, looking pitiful.
Aunt Zhang downstairs met it today!
Aunt Zhang has an 8-month-old granddaughter. Recently, the weather is good, Aunt Zhang will take the children downstairs to play every day, the little girl is chubby and laughs when she sees people, and the neighbors like to tease her.
I don't know what's going on today, the little girl keeps crying and crying, and she doesn't sleep well at noon.
Auntie said: When I was playing downstairs in the morning, I met Uncle Zhang in the next building, and just said a few words, she suddenly opened her mouth and cried, and she didn't coax it for a long time, and then Uncle Zhang walked away, so she stopped crying.
Later, the aunt said: The older generation said that children have smart eyes and can see "dirty things" that we can't see. Do you say that the old man is not very good?
I hurriedly comforted her: No, no, how can it be so miraculous. It should be that the child recognizes people, Uncle Zhang's expression is too serious, and the child is afraid......
Dingdong had encountered similar things several times when he was a child, and I was worried at the time if he had seen something that wasn't so good. Later, I learned that it was he who "grew up".
It is not superstition for a baby to cry when he sees "someone"! There are 3 truths that the older generation may not understand, but parents must know. What are the 3 truths? Let's take a look~
01, the baby is "invisible"
Do you know?
Newborn babies are "big myopia" and can see almost nothing. This is because when they are in their mother's womb, they keep their eyes closed and are in a pitch black environment, and their visual system is not fully developed.
In the first few days after birth, the baby's vision is not fully developed, and they will see the world more blurrily and will not be able to see the mother's face clearly. At this stage, your baby's eyes are very sensitive to light, and they can recognize the general shape of a person's face and objects in close proximity.
Over time, your baby's vision will become clearer.
After 2 weeks ~ 1 month of birth, the baby's retina can feel light, if a small flashlight is illuminated in their eyes, they will respond to the light source, which means that their visual system is working normally, and it also means that their eyes are normal.
After 1 month, the baby begins to be interested in the surrounding environment, will have a more positive response to external stimuli, and will show curiosity about faces and objects.
At 2~3 months, the baby's vision begins to become more accurate. They are able to see smaller details and have a follow-up response to moving objects.
PS: If your baby's eyes are unstable, rhythmically shaking, or aimlessly turning, there may be vision problems and you need to seek medical attention in time.
At 3~6 months, babies begin to be able to distinguish different colors and have a stronger perception of depth and distance. Especially after 6 months, babies can see not only the people in front of them, but also their expressions and facial details.
At this time, if the baby sees some strange old people, or more fierce people, he may be afraid to cry.
Not only that, babies are also very sensitive to smells, if they smell unfamiliar pungent smells, such as smoke, alcohol or bad breath, fox odor, etc., they will feel uncomfortable and cry.
02, Baobao Xiao Sheng
Newborn babies can't see people clearly, and naturally they don't recognize people.
But they also have their own preferences and will recognize familiar people in their own way.
In the first few weeks of life, babies begin to have a preference for the faces of people who take care of them regularly, and there is a clear attention and preference for photos of these people.
It's just that they can't reliably identify each other and need to recognize each other through sound and smell. This is why when the child hears his mother speak, he will turn his head in the direction of his mother and smile very happily.
At 3~6 months, babies begin to be able to better recognize and remember the features of familiar faces, and begin to show social smiles to specific faces - every time they see their mother, they will smile happily.
At 6~9 months, the baby's recognition ability has been further strengthened, they are able to distinguish different people, and when they see familiar faces, they will also show a clearer emotional response.
This time is also a critical period for them to begin to "recognize people", they have self-awareness, and begin to analyze the people and things around them.
If you see strangers or unfamiliar things, your baby may be "vigilant", and then there will be uncooperation and crying.
03, Baobao High Sensitivity
It is normal for babies to cry, especially for "highly sensitive babies", who react strongly to environmental stimuli and often cry violently.
The child of a colleague of mine is a "highly sensitive" baby and is particularly afraid of crowded environments. Whether it's an amusement park or a park, as long as it's not very familiar, as long as there are many strangers, even if it's all children of the same age, she will feel pressure and discomfort, and then start crying loudly.
For "highly sensitive babies", many things in life can make them uncomfortable, such as sudden loud noises or loud talking, strong sunlight or flashing lights, the temperature of clothing materials or bath water, and changes in the mood of others.
If there is a "highly sensitive baby" at home, how should parents deal with it?
Advice: Provide them with a supportive and understanding environment.
1. Quiet and peaceful environment to reduce unnecessary stimulation.
2. When you are exposed to new things, take a step-by-step approach to give your baby a chance to adapt.
3. Maintain a consistent daily routine and rest time to help babies establish a sense of security.
4. Pay attention to your baby's reaction and seek professional advice and support if necessary.
Being highly sensitive is not your baby's fault or it doesn't mean they have any flaws, it's just a unique personality trait that can become more mature and adaptable over time.
So parents don't need to worry, just give their children enough understanding, support and a sense of security, and take care of their baby's healthy growth.
Do you understand all the above 3 truths?
During the growth of the baby, parents will encounter many things and problems. If you want your baby to grow up healthily, parents must learn more scientific and practical parenting knowledge, understand the child's development process, and give good companionship and support.
