Novice parents who are new parents, they will always encounter many problems in the early stages of parenting, and their tight nerves will often follow the baby's every move It moves "seven ups and downs", but whenever a small abnormality is found, it will be overwhelmed.
Almost all parents have a process of experience, from ignorance to parenting masters, and all these are constantly explored and learned, often a qualified mother is experienced in "a hundred battles" Raising a baby soldier, and in the battlefield of raising a baby, especially the "sleep problem" is quite difficult, which makes many mothers feel stressed.
Today, Dad Dou will take you to take a look at the "hands-up" sleeping position in the performance of children's sleeping positions, and see what concerns are hidden behind this most frequent and common sleeping position? What's the reason?
The newborn baby’s "hands-up" sleeping posture made Bao's mother feel hesitant, should he care about it, hesitate
Ask about the newborn sleeping position with raised hands.
said that the baby is less than 2 months old and sleeps not honestly every day. He always raises his arms and hands. In the summer, he raises his arms and hands to avoid mosquitoes, but the weather is getting colder and worse for one night. Exposed, the mother began to worry about whether the baby would catch a cold.
But no matter how you put it, unless the child is squeezed to death, otherwise, the baby will continue to break free.
I believe that many novice mothers have encountered this situation. Careful parents will surely find that most babies always like to sleep with their hands up. Even if you force their hands to be put down, they will fight against you. , No one can stop the baby from this action.
And the reason why raising your hand to sleep will become a "standard action" for babies,It is because this is a normal "physiological mechanism". Only by raising their hands to sleep can they get a certain sense of security and feel comfortable.
The raised hand sleeping position is induced to a certain extent by self-protection potential.
Normally, our first reaction when we are in danger is to raise our hands and hug the head. Although the baby is still a child who cannot speak, it is human instinct to learn to protect himself, and the baby is no exception.
The nervous system development of babies from 0-4 months is not perfect, and they are likely to be frightened by the sudden sound. At this time, they will involuntarily raise their hands above their heads.
When sleeping, the baby is still worried that some external sounds will scare him, and he will naturally maintain this sleeping position.
The raised hand sleeping position can release the baby's space for activities.
You should know that during the ten months that the baby lives in the mother’s stomach, the internal space becomes smaller and smaller as the body grows up, and basically cannot move freely in the last month, even stretching his arms. Stretching legs has become extremely luxurious.
After birth, the baby's space for activities has become wider, so it is natural to indulge a little, let their arms and legs stretch, and enjoy the rare and comfortable days. When they gradually become familiar with this living environment, they will It won't feel so fresh anymore.
The raised hand sleeping position is affected by the baby's neck reflex.
When the baby is just born, the head will turn to one side when sleeping, one hand bends the other hand straight, the legs are also in a straight state, it looks like they are about to start a game In the fierce fencing competition, all of this is affected by the mandatory neck reflex.
This is also because the baby's body is not yet fully developed. This instinctive reaction allows the baby to form a habit of raising his hands to sleep. Of course, this is also conducive to maintaining body balance and making himself sleep more secure.
The baby is not afraid of heat but not cold. Sleeping position with raised hands is good for heat dissipation of both arms.
There is a kind of cold that makes mom think you are cold, so after the baby falls asleep, mom will always get up and cover the quilt again and again, for fear that they will catch a cold at night.
In fact, the baby's body temperature is higher than that of the adult. In addition, the faster metabolism will always make you sweat. Stretching out your arms can make you cooler. This is also a way for your baby to take heat.
Generally speaking, a baby learns to turn over at 4 months, and various body functions are gradually improved, and the posture of raising hands to sleep will gradually disappear. Instead, it will be replaced by strange postures, often without opening the quilt. Never know what a baby looks like.
If there is any abnormality in the baby's body, it will not only be reflected in the sleeping position, such as poor development, indifferent and unnatural expression, and insensitive to external stimuli. At this time, parents should pay enough attention.
Should mother force her to tuck her hand back into the bed? The answer is of course: Don’t
. The reason is simple. The baby will lift his arms unconsciously after falling asleep. The thin quilt can easily cover the baby’s face. In this case, it may cause the danger of suffocation. If the parents can’t Finding the consequences in time is even more unimaginable.
The reason why most parents want to change their baby's sleeping position is simply because they worry that they will catch a cold at night and will force them to retract their arms again and again. In fact, there is no need for parents to do this at all. If you are worried that your baby will catch a cold at night, you might as well prepare a sleeping bag for your baby, so that you don't have to worry about your baby getting a cold at all.
Besides, the sleeping position of a baby is not static, and there is no difference between good and bad. It’s just that some sleeping positions for babies who are younger than one month old are not safe. Parents need to pay attention to the sleeping position of babies from 0-6 months, because there is only The safest is the best.
The safest sleeping position-supine, During this period, we let the baby sleep as much as possible, which is what we call supine, which is recognized as the safest sleeping position, baby Lying on the bed can naturally relax your limbs and curl up. Turn your baby's small face to one side to prevent the baby from spitting up in his sleep. This will allow the milk to flow out quickly and avoid inhaling the trachea to cause choking.
