For babies under three months old, they have not yet formed a physiological curvature, and holding the baby incorrectly for a long time or holding the baby too often may cause injury to the baby's bodySpinedevelopment. In addition, often holding the baby will make the baby form a Xi, thinking that it is more comfortable to hold, difficult to lie down to sleep or alone, and always stick to the parents. This can cause a lot of confusion to parents and even affect their personal time. Therefore, do not hold the baby too often, only when the baby needs it, such as the baby lying there quietly, without crying or fussing, do not over-intervene at this time;But if your baby is crying, you should pick it up immediately and soothe it.
Babies have a strong need for family intimacy at this stage, and cuddling is a way to meet your baby's sense of security and intimacy. Therefore, holding a baby is not a completely bad thing, the key is moderation. Parents can put more effort into observing the baby's behavior and expressions, and decide whether to hold him or not according to the baby's needs. For example, the baby is entertaining himself, looking curiously at the surroundings, not crying or making trouble, and there is no need to rush to hold him at this time. However, if the baby is crying incessantly and cannot be relieved by other means, it is necessary to pick it up in time to comfort him. At the same time, parents can also provide other ways for their babies to feel safe, such as usingPacifier, baby bed, etc., slowly cultivate the baby's ability to fall asleep independently, and reduce the dependence on hugging.

Every parent wants their baby to look clean and cute, so when they see "dirty" things on the baby's body, such as the vernix on the scalp, someParent-teacher conferencesXi habitually picks with his hands, trying to clean up. However, this is a mistake because accidentally picking at your baby's scalp can cause damage to your baby's scalp and further cause infection. In fact, vernix is just a natural phenomenon, and the baby will gradually shed it soon after birth. When cleaning anything on the baby's body, you can't use your hand, because the baby's ** is very delicate and easy to hurt. If parents don't understand something, they can consult a doctor instead of dealing with it themselves, so as not to bring harm to the baby.
When coaxing a baby, many people will unconsciously shake their bodies. This may be imitating someone else's practices, or it may be a Xi formed subconsciously. In either case, frequent shaking of your baby's body is not recommended. Shaking too vigorously can cause shaking syndrome in your baby, in addition to causing damage to your baby's brain and spine. Of course, it does not mean that shaking the baby is not allowed at all, as long as the amplitude is well controlled, it is okay to shake the baby gently, but do not shake the baby too hard, especially when the baby is emotional or angry, pay more attention to stabilize their emotions and avoid excessive shaking. When taking care of the baby, parents should stabilize their emotions, after all, the baby is still very young, can not speak, act, anger is meaningless to the baby, but will make the baby feel uneasy. As a parent, be aware of your responsibilities and be patient and calm when dealing with your baby's problems.
We all know that water is an important source of life, and the human body needs water to function properly. Therefore, some parents feed their babies water from time to time, believing that drinking more water is beneficial. However, if the baby is drinkingBreast milk, it is not recommended to feed him water frequently, becauseBreast milkIt is rich in water in itself and drinksBreast milkNot easy to get on fire. Therefore, do not feed water frequently, and only properly hydrate when your baby is sick and needs to be hydrated, or if your baby has already started drinking formula. In addition, do not feed water before feeding, as this will occupy your baby's stomach space and affect their ** amount. Doing so in the long term can also affect your baby'sPhysical development。So, be careful not to feed before or after feedingBreast milkAfter over-feeding.
Through the above points, I hope that parents can pay more attention to the details when taking care of their babies and avoid treating them wrongly. In the period of 0-6 months, the baby's adaptability to external stimuli and the environment is weak, and the carefulness and patience of parents will determine the healthy growth of the baby. Therefore, when taking care of the baby, it is necessary to pay attention not to give the baby frequent holding and premature usePillowsPick any part of the baby with your hands, shake your baby's body vigorously, and before or before feedingBreast milkAfter feeding with water. In this way, the health and safety of the baby can be guaranteed.
