1-12 months mom should avoid parenting mistakes 1st month Wearing gloves for newborns Wearing gloves for your baby is trying to protect him from being scratched by his own nails, but in doing so, it may affect your baby’s intellectual development. The baby’s vision is relatively weak, and a lot of awareness and perception of the outside world comes from the touch of the hands. Gloves directly bind the hands to touch, limiting the activities of the hands, which is not conducive to the development of the baby’s hand movements and tactile sense. Rough, poor quality gloves may also affect the skin and finger blood circulation. Wrapped in a “candle bag” Baby’s limbs in their natural state, are abducted and flexed, the upper limbs are “W” type, the lower limbs are “M” type. If wrapped in a “candle bag”, the baby’s limbs will be greatly restricted, which is not conducive to blood circulation and cardiopulmonary development. Such a package will also hinder the development of the sense of touch. If the wrap is too tight, the heat will not be dissipated and the baby will sweat easily, leading to a series of skin problems in the second month Breastfeeding, adding juice and water after the first month Breast milk is the perfect natural nutrient and drink for babies, providing all the nutrients they need, including water and most vitamins. Therefore, for babies up to 4 months old and exclusively breastfed, there is no need to add additional water and other beverages, and babies can get enough water from breast milk even in the hot summer months. People often add water and juice to babies under 4 months of age in their lives, thinking that this will add vitamins. In fact, this feeding method can do more harm than good to small babies. Adding water or juice will reduce the number of times the baby sucks and the amount of milk, especially with the use of bottles and rubber nipples, which will reduce the baby’s interest and desire to suck. Over time, the mother’s breasts are not emptied in time, resulting in less lactation. In addition, bottle feeding increases the chances of the baby being infected with bacteria. Mastitis in mothers who do not breastfeed their babies Mastitis is an infection and inflammation of the tissues surrounding the milk ducts outside the breast, which does not have any effect on the milk inside the ducts, which is safe for babies and does not affect their health, so breastfeeding should be continued. Adhering to breastfeeding can also prevent the spread of inflammation in the mammary glands. However, while insisting on breastfeeding, the mother should ensure adequate rest and, under the guidance of the doctor, choose appropriate treatment methods that do not affect the baby, such as warm, moist compresses on the breast, which can reduce pain. When the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, breastfeeding should be stopped. Note: Build up confidence, insist on frequent breastfeeding every day, and do not add other types of milk to the baby without special circumstances, usually it will get better after a week. Month 3 Add egg yolk at 3 months Egg yolk has extremely important and easily absorbed vitamin A, vitamin D and trace elements such as copper and iron for babies, while egg white contains allergenic substances, therefore, babies around half a year old cannot be fed whole eggs, only egg yolk, which can ensure the nutritional needs of babies and prevent allergic diseases, such as eczema and hives. However, it is not advisable to add egg yolk to a 3-month-old baby, and it should be added after the gastrointestinal function is better developed at 4 months. Overly concerned about the baby’s sleeping posture Many parents worry that the back of the head sleep flat, will affect the baby’s intelligence, so, daily very concerned about the baby’s sleeping posture. In fact, it is not necessary. The baby’s skull is relatively soft, and the sleeping position may affect the shape of its head, the tendency to “flat head”. This may have some effect on the volume development of the brain, but has no significant effect on intellectual development. If you choose to sleep on your side or in a prone position, the back of your baby’s head will protrude slightly, which is not directly related to improving IQ. Month 4 Feed your baby egg custard The egg yolk contains vitamin A, vitamin D, copper and iron, which are extremely needed and easily absorbed by babies, ensuring that they get the necessary nutritional requirements. However, egg whites and membranes contain allergenic substances that can easily cause allergic diseases such as eczema and hives when consumed too early by babies. Babies suffering from ringworm and diaper rash can have recurrent and aggravated symptoms after consuming egg custard. Replacing formula with yogurt It is possible for a 4-month-old baby to eat yogurt, but yogurt is not the best milk substitute. Compared to formula, yogurt has a sweeter taste and consuming it in large quantities too early may cause your baby to become dependent on sweet foods and affect future healthy growth. Generally speaking, doctors will recommend long-term yogurt consumption unless you are lactose intolerant and cannot consume regular formula. Feeding solid food with a bottle Be careful to always feed solid food with a small spoon. Many parents are afraid of the hassle of feeding or worry that their baby will eat too little, so they fill a soft bottle with solid food such as rice flour to feed their baby. This may increase the amount of food your baby eats, leading to excess weight, while making your baby lose the opportunity to practice chewing. In fact, an important purpose of solid food for babies is to introduce them to the process of eating: sitting → using a spoon to bring food into their mouths → chewing → swallowing → finally stopping eating when they are full. This early good eating experience will give your baby a good foundation to build good eating habits in the future. To avoid choking and choking, let your baby sit or be held by an adult to eat. Month 5 Stop crying with cuddling Crying is the most common thing for babies. Now, your baby cannot use words to express his feelings and demands, but can only express them with the help of crying. Therefore, his crying contains many factors that we should learn to distinguish and find the reasons to help our baby get rid of the uncomfortable state. As parents should usually hug and kiss the baby more, and play with the baby more, so that the baby always experience the love and care of parents. However, there is no need to blindly coax and hug your baby as soon as he or she cries for fear of crying. A single variety of complementary food is added Babies need to try a variety of food flavors. Because accepting a new kind of food is good for the baby to develop good eating habits later. In the process of adding complementary foods, babies may not like unfamiliar foods so much, but this is not absolute, we need to be more patient and let babies try again and again. Slowly, most babies will get used to and like the taste of new foods. For breastfed babies, this month should be a good time to let him try formula in preparation for adding it later. Month 6 Premature use of walkers For the sake of care, many parents will put their baby in a walker at this time and let him push himself around on the floor. In fact, at this time, the strength of the baby’s legs and feet are not yet fully developed, the strength is limited, if you let him play in the walker for a long time, will affect the healthy development of the child’s legs and feet. After a baby has a high fever, some parents often cover their children with too thick bedding, hoping to make him sweat and reduce the fever. In fact, this is not only not easy to reduce the fever, but will also lead to excessive sweating, dehydration and life-threatening. Fever is actually a manifestation of the body’s condition, and the degree of fever is not necessarily proportional to the severity of the baby’s condition. Therefore, the baby must follow the doctor’s orders to take medication and injections after the fever, and parents should also consult the doctor to provide reasonable care for the cause of the disease. In the 7th month, babies are not given cool mats to sleep on hot days. Babies’ nervous systems are not yet mature, their thermoregulatory functions are weak, and their adaptability to cold and heat is poor. In the hot season, special attention should be paid to prevent heat, heat rash and even heatstroke in babies. The use of a cooler for babies is a relatively simple and economical measure to prevent heatstroke. The baby’s mat should be of good texture and smooth without thorns on the front. Before use, the mat should be washed, scalded several times with boiling water, and then dried to kill the insects. Later, you need to scrub the mat with warm water every day to keep it clean and slippery. The 8th month Eat too much fruit Fruit contains more vitamin C, sweet taste, the baby also loves to eat, feeding up is also more convenient, resulting in many parents will feed too much fruit to the baby to eat. Eating too much fruit is not scientific. In addition to the high vitamin C content in fruit, the sugar content is also relatively high, feeding too much fruit will lead to an imbalance in the diet, which is not beneficial to health. Generally speaking, around 7?9 months of the baby, the amount of fruit a day, do not exceed 50 grams. Fresh vegetables also contain more vitamin C, can be appropriate to eat more, especially the stool is dry baby, more fresh vegetables. Excessive throwing baby 8 months old baby, the body is already very strong, and like to play with adults. Some adults like to hold the baby to shake hard or throw to the air to amuse; some parents in order to put the baby to sleep, put him on the legs upside down, or put in the cradle to shake hard, these actions are quite dangerous, may lead to serious consequences. From the law of growth and development, the baby’s brain development is relatively early, the head is relatively heavy and large, while the neck muscles are relatively soft, throwing the baby’s head is susceptible to strong vibration, and may even cause brain damage, resulting in serious consequences. In the 9th month, you can give your baby the “Six Gods Pill” to prevent heatstroke. The “Six Gods Pill” has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying toxins, and is mainly used clinically to treat sore throats, tonsillitis, carbuncles, sores and other diseases. The actual fact is that this practice has a lot of hidden dangers. The Sixth God Pill is made of cow’s yellow, musk, ice chips, toadstool, pearls, and starch, and has obvious cardiac effects, which can easily lead to cardiac arrhythmias when used improperly, and has greater toxicity and side effects on the liver and kidney organs. Infants are in a period of rapid growth and development, heart, liver and kidney functions are not yet fully developed, if long-term or large doses, easy to cause damage to organ function. When a baby is sick, many parents will ask the doctor to give the child an injection, thinking that “the injection is better and faster than the medicine”. In fact, the choice of injection or medicine should be based on the baby’s condition as well as the nature and role of drugs to decide. For some diseases, oral medication is more effective than injections, such as enteritis, dysentery and other gastrointestinal diseases. The drug enters the gastrointestinal tract through oral intake, which can be faster and maintain an effective concentration, and can play a good therapeutic effect. We should respect the doctor’s diagnosis and decide the route of administration according to the nature of the disease and the drug. Month 10 Mixing rice with vegetable soup and chicken soup Although babies can now eat almost as much food as adults, their chewing and swallowing abilities are still much weaker than those of adults. Some parents do not make suitable food for their babies for the sake of convenience, but only mix some vegetable soup or chicken soup with the rice eaten by adults and feed it to their babies, thinking that it will be easier for them to swallow and the soup will be nutritious. The soup has very few nutrients, long-term consumption will lead to malnutrition, and is not conducive to the exercise and improvement of the baby’s chewing ability. Special reminder: In order for your baby to better adapt to most adult foods in the future, you need to make foods that are suitable for your baby’s chewing ability and swallowing ability, and cook foods in order to chop and cook. Month 11 The fatter the child, the healthier the baby’s growth and development cannot simply be judged by fat or thin, fat dolls are not necessarily healthy. In general, normal growth and development, normal nutrition of the baby, most fat and thin moderate. From the appearance, they are well-proportioned, rosy face, fine skin, subcutaneous fat plump, muscles developed and powerful, hair shiny. Obese children look chubby and covered with meat, but not necessarily healthy. Because of the obese body, it is not easy to exercise, so their muscles are flabby and weak, their physique is weaker, resistance is also poor, and the progress of action is mostly later than the same month-old baby. In addition, many children who are obese in infancy are often chubby when they are students, and they are still obese in adulthood, which not only affects their beauty, but also brings about various more serious diseases, including psychological disorders and so on. Therefore, parents should not take “fat” as a sign of the baby’s health. The 12th month Sleep with the light on Many parents often leave a light at the head of his bed in order to facilitate the care of the baby. This seems to be a very cozy picture, but there are many hidden dangers that are detrimental to the health of the baby. The light at the head of the bed will not only affect the quality of sleep of the baby, but also affect the development of vision. Any artificial light source will produce a weak light pressure on the body, this light pressure for a long time, will make babies and children anxious, nervous, difficult to sleep. Sleeping under lights for a long time also affects the reticular activation system of the eyes, resulting in a shorter time per sleep, shallow sleep depth, and easy waking up. The first two years of life are a critical stage in the development of the eye and focal adjustment functions of infants. The amount and amount of light and dark time in a day affects the development of a baby’s vision. The incidence of myopia is four times higher in infants who sleep in the light compared to those who sleep in the dark.
