I’m sure you’ll be amazed after reading this: I made so many mistakes! In fact, putting the baby to sleep is not a simple matter, learn the right way to let the babies sleep sweetly, mom and dad see the baby sleeping look also doubly happy ah. Stupidity: the baby cries at night, the mother holds the baby in the arms shaking Stupidity index: 5 stars When the baby cries or sleep restlessness, some young mothers will put the baby in the cradle or hold in the arms shaking, the baby cries more and more powerful, the mother also shakes more and more vigorous, until the baby falls asleep. In fact, this practice is very harmful to the baby, because the shaking action will make the baby’s brain in the cranial cavity constantly shaking, the immature brain will collide with the harder skull, resulting in the rupture of small blood vessels in the brain, concussion, intracranial hemorrhage. In mild cases, epilepsy, mental retardation, limb paralysis, and in severe cases, cerebral edema, brain herniation and death occur. If the retina in the eye is affected, it can also lead to amblyopia or blindness, thus making a big mistake, especially for small babies within 10 months is more dangerous. The first thing you should do is to let go of the baby and encourage them to sleep alone from the moment they are born. Even newborns should not sleep under the same blanket with their mothers. This is because the mother is asleep and may not pay attention to the little baby, resulting in suffocation and death. This is confirmed by a survey data in the United States, namely that letting babies sleep alone can reduce sudden death rate by 60%. In addition, the mother sleeps with the baby for a long time, the baby will appear a kind of “Oedipus” psychology, to kindergarten or even elementary school age, and the mother separation will be very difficult, it is difficult to form the child’s independent personality, which is also not conducive to their physical and mental development. Cultivate the habit of children sleeping alone generally from the age of 1, the age of the baby to sleep faster, and has a certain degree of autonomy. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing. The reason is that small babies generally do not turn over on their own, but also will not actively avoid the obstacles in front of the mouth and nose, so the respiratory tract in the obstruction, can only absorb little air and lack of oxygen; coupled with the imperfect development of digestive organs, when the stomach peristalsis, gastric pressure increases, food will reflux, blocking the already very narrow respiratory tract, resulting in sudden infant death. The safest sleeping position for babies is to sleep on their backs, this sleeping position can make their airways unobstructed, to a certain extent, to avoid sudden infant death. According to statistics, in the United States since the promotion of the sleep on your back method, the incidence of sudden infant death syndrome, which had been high, dropped significantly from about 5,000 deaths per year to less than 3,000, which is worth learning from mothers. But the mother should often adjust the baby’s sleeping position, so as not to sleep bad head shape. Stupidity four: snuggle baby to sleep Stupidity index: 4 stars Some mothers worry that the baby sleep alone there are accidents, will snuggle the baby to sleep, in fact, this will bring some potential danger to the baby. Sleeping in your arms will make it difficult for your baby to breathe fresh air and inhale the dirty air from the blanket, making it easy to get sick. At the same time, when the mother is holding the baby, it limits the baby’s free movement during sleep, making it difficult to stretch the body and affecting the normal blood circulation. If the mother is too sleepy and accidentally blocks her body in front of the baby’s nostrils, it may also cause serious consequences such as suffocation. In addition, because the mother is around, it is much easier to feed, but this may make the baby develop a bad habit of waking up and eating milk, which is not easy to form a regular feeding, thus hindering the baby’s appetite and digestive function. Foolishness 5: When the weather is cold, let the baby sleep under the covers Foolishness index: 4 stars In winter or early spring, when the weather is cold, mothers often cover the baby’s head under the quilt in order to keep the baby warm, in fact, this is very harmful to the baby. The high humidity of the blanket, coupled with the baby’s high metabolism, can easily induce “stifling syndrome”, which can cause the baby to sweat profusely and even deflate. It may also cause breathing difficulties or suffocation. Babies should sleep with their heads exposed outside the quilt to prevent accidents. Foolishness six: let the baby sleep naked Foolishness index: 3 stars Summer high temperature, some mothers will baby clothes and pants off, let the baby naked little body lying in bed, in order to cool. However, small babies have poor thermoregulatory function, easy to make the body cool, especially the abdomen, once cooled, can make intestinal peristalsis enhanced, resulting in diarrhea occurs. In order to prevent this, even in the heat of summer can not sleep naked, the mother may wish to cover the baby’s chest and abdomen with a thin layer of clothing, or wear a small bib, to protect the baby’s little tummy from getting cold. After reading these, some inexperienced mothers may be amazed, right? I hope the author’s explanation and experience can help mothers properly put their babies to sleep and give them a good sleep.
