Babies have the most contact with their mothers during infancy, did you know that? The following article teaches you four ways to communicate with your baby. Some studies have shown that the mother’s care of her baby’s food and sleep is also an important part of developing his intelligence. The four ways of communication between mother and baby 1, tactile communication between mother and baby tactile communication, the most common is the mother for the baby breastfeeding. The reason is that breastfeeding is not only to provide nutrition for the baby’s growth and development, but also to provide the conditions for the baby’s initial tactile sensation to arise and develop. Infants with their most sensitive corners of the mouth, lips and face, nestled in the warmth of the breast, can produce a safe, sweet information stimulation in the brain, which plays a catalytic role in their intellectual development. The same effect is obtained by the skin-to-skin contact produced by the mother’s frequent touching and hugging of her baby. Studies have found that babies who have lost the above communication throughout their lives will grow up with cold expressions, slow pronunciation, withdrawn personalities and difficulty getting along with children of the same age. 2, visual communication Infants born in January or so, the retina has been formed, but the central concave has not yet developed, so its visible distance will not exceed 40 cm, the visible area is limited to 45 degrees, almost only see the eyes directly in front. However, at this time they have the ability to recognize human faces, especially human eyes. When mothers are breastfeeding, they will always find that their infants are looking directly into their eyes while eating, which is a visual need of the infant during emotional development. As a result, the infant can eat milk at the desired rate and in the desired amount; if this communication is lost, the infant will frequently turn around and shake his or her head when breastfeeding, or even become irritable. Of course, in addition to breastfeeding, it is also beneficial to the infant’s psychological development to communicate with the infant on a face-to-face basis. For artificially fed babies, mothers should have this visual communication when using bottle lactation. 3, smell communication Biological research has confirmed that the human sense of smell will begin to degenerate after the vision is quite developed. However, the sense of smell of infants is quite sensitive. A few days after birth, an infant can smell a good or bad smell. In a test, if a piece of cloth soaked in breast milk was put near the end of the baby’s nose, the baby would stop crying and make a gesture of seeking breast milk. Since the infant can smell whether it is the mother or not, Takahashi suggested that having the mother sleep with the infant can produce a positive stimulus for the infant’s intellectual development. He pointed out that infants who keep changing their sleepmates are often in a state of psychological stress and their sleep time and quality are greatly reduced. This is detrimental to their physical and mental development, and can lead to developmental delays and early childhood psychological disorders in serious cases. 4, auditory communication Research shows that a week after birth, the infant can distinguish the sound of human or object sound. This is because, since birth, infants have a need for sound, and can produce “evoked effects” from the sound, so that soon to identify the sound is not the mother. Don’t underestimate the “conversation” between mother and baby, a careful mother will find that when talking to her baby, he will move his hands and feet, a look of satisfaction. What’s more, more “dialogue” with the baby can make the brain is in rapid development of the baby, soon to learn to speak, to lay a good foundation for future language development. In fact, infants who lack mother-infant language communication are later to speak than children of the same age who have mother-infant language communication, and their speech is unclear and their expressions are not lively. This shows how important it is for young mothers to have close contact and communication with their babies. Don’t be caught up in the fast-paced life and other reasons to neglect the little ones around you. Don’t forget that babies need their mothers to introduce them to the new world.
