There are many drawbacks to babies staying in the room for long periods of time.
First of all, vision in infancy is very fragile for vision development, and they need enough external stimulation to promote the normal development of vision. Outdoor light conditions are far better than indoors, especially on sunny days, outdoor light can stimulate the release of dopamine in the retina, effectively inhibiting the growth of the eye axis, and thus reducing the occurrence of myopia. In addition, your baby's free view in the natural environment can help relieve tension in the ciliary muscles and reduce eye strain.
Secondly, if the baby stays indoors for a long time, the development of the respiratory tract will also be affected. The changeable outdoor environment, such as changes in temperature and humidity, can stimulate the baby's respiratory mucosa, so that it can gradually adapt to changes in the external environment and enhance resistance. In a room where air humidity and temperature are relatively constant, and without this natural stimulus, your baby's respiratory tract adaptation may decrease.
In addition, the baby's cognitive abilities also need to be exercised in a diverse environment. Nature provides babies with a wealth of sensory stimulation, such as the fragrance of flowers, the form of trees, the touch of grass, the fluttering of butterflies, the crawling of ants, etc., which are all direct ways for babies to perceive the world. In contrast, the indoor environment is relatively simple, which cannot meet the baby's needs for diversified stimulation.
Finally, social skills are also a part of a baby's growth that should not be overlooked. Outdoors, babies will meet many friends of the same age, and they will learn how to get along with people and handle interpersonal relationships in the process of playing. Such experiences help babies develop a cheerful and lively personality and improve their social skills.
To sum up, for the all-round development of babies, parents should take their babies outdoors as much as possible, so that they can feel the charm of nature and enjoy a variety of environmental stimuli. In this way, your baby's vision, respiratory tract, cognitive and social skills can be better developed.
