Overdressing your baby in the winter can easily put them behind in their motor development!

It’s a cold winter day and the wind is blowing. Because of the cold, a winter-specific situation has arisen at our clinic. Many babies are not advanced in their development, they can’t do what they should be able to do at this age, or they are not skillful, but after checking, we know that the baby’s physical condition is fine, so what’s the problem? The problem lies in the winter is too cold, give the baby to wear too much! 1, wear too much will lead to what problem? The baby’s body is not a problem, just because wear more, not convenient to move, too little movement, the baby’s motor development shows not advanced, or even behind, most of such babies in the South and other indoor heating in the family. Indoors is too cold, the home is also rarely open heating equipment, so it will give the baby to wear many, many clothes, wrapped up like a dumpling. Babies in the development process will have large motor and fine motor development, but many babies wear too much, the baby’s independent development of movement can not be completed. For example, 3-month-old babies naturally want to play with their hands, eat their hands, and so on, but they wear too much wrapped up, and they can’t hold their hands together. If the baby fails to do so many times, he or she stops trying, and as a result, the baby cannot play with or eat his or her hands. Because wearing too much, it obviously hinders the development of fine motor of baby’s hands. For example, 4, 5 months of the baby will take the initiative to turn over, but because of wearing too much, try a few times can not turn over, may not want to turn over the back, older still can not turn over, it is necessary for mothers to take the effort to guide the baby to learn to turn over. Because wear too much, obviously hinder the development of the baby’s large motor. 0~3 years old is the best start of life for children, and before the age of 2 is the most rapid development of the baby’s brain in his life. At birth, a baby’s brain weighs about one-quarter of an adult’s, while at age 2 it’s about three-quarters of an adult’s. Your baby’s motor development will have a direct impact on brain development, so even in winter, we can’t ignore your baby’s motor development. Although every baby has individual differences, and the time point for eating hands, lifting the head, rolling over and so on are all different, we don’t have to be too anxious because our baby’s motor development is a bit later than other babies, but we still have to actively guide our babies to do exercises. Overdressing your baby in winter is detrimental to your baby’s motor development and brain development, so what should we do? 2, local heating, give the baby a good environment for happy exercise If there is no heating at home, you have to buy a local heating equipment. The floor carpet, local heating equipment on the side of the light, to the baby wearing thin, let the baby in this area to play, practice turning, crawling and so on his age to practice the action. Pay attention to this area to clean away the dangerous objects to ensure the safety of the baby. Because the baby in bed to play easy to fall down, not safe, and on the ground space is bigger, so it is recommended that the baby in the carpet to play. 3, small pay to get big gains The smaller the baby, the baby’s training is the greater the return on investment. So although the weather is cold, the baby’s sports training can not be delayed ah! If the parents of a whole winter to the baby to wear too much, hindering the baby’s sports development. When the winter passed, found that the baby’s motor development lagged behind, and then seek medical attention, so that the baby class training exercise, then not only will cost a lot of money, but also to the family will cause great psychological pressure it! There is no heating family, you can give the baby a few hours a day to open the local heating equipment, so that the baby every day to wear less, free movement for a few hours, so that the body and brain healthy development.
