Today’s content starts with my friend Xiao Kong. She finally “unloaded” a few months ago!
A new mother has successfully transferred all the physical stress to her mental state!
As soon as he "scanned" something abnormal about his child, he burst into tears, picked up his child and ran to the hospital!
Sometimes it’s a big popular science (tactful reminder) -
For example: these may be normal phenomena; you can check the child’s condition before deciding whether to go to the hospital; it is not good to torment the child all the time...
is regarded by her as "Bullshit literature", perfunctory response: OK, OK, got it! Then it goes in through the left ear and out through the right ear, and doesn’t take it to heart at all!

Two days ago, Xiao Kong rushed into the clinic with the baby in his arms again, saying that found that the baby twitched while sleeping. He also had this problem, and he was afraid it was inherited!
Seeing her disheveled, remorseful and guilty look, HKUST had mixed feelings and patiently explained to her:
It’s not hereditary! Your tics are different, so it’s not a big deal!
Xiao Kong said that when she was sleeping, she would occasionally shake violently, accompanied by the feeling of falling from a height into the sea, and would even "scare herself awake"!

This is "sleep tics" , which usually occurs when you are about to fall asleep. Even if you wake up with a shake, it will not affect your sleep!
You can just turn over and go back to sleep, and it will not threaten your health!
And newborn tics like Xiao Kong’s baby are even more common!
Newborns have just come to the outside world from a relatively closed "womb", and they will not adapt to temperature, light and various sounds!
Even if the family members speak louder, the baby will be shocked!
At this time, don't "overcorrect" like Xiao Kong, turning on the "silent" mode during the day, and doing bad things with good intentions delaying the child's hearing and auditory development !
In fact, as long as you don’t make a lot of noise, speaking at a normal volume will not “scare” your baby!
In addition to external factors, the baby's normal development will also cause it to "jump"!
➤ Children are just born, and their nervous system is not yet mature . They cannot control their brains, so they give their brains the opportunity to act on their own, making the baby shake from time to time to find a sense of existence!

➤ Like us adults, babies are also in light sleep when they first enter the sleep state. The brain cells are still excitedly "thinking" about what they saw and heard today, so they show some excited movements. No wonder.

During this period, parents can comfort the baby by touching, reducing the irritating volume or helping the baby relax the jumping limbs!
If none of these work, and the baby also has startle symptoms during non-sleeping periods, or is accompanied by obvious head or eye deviation during the attack, it is likely that pathological myoclonus or epilepsy has found the baby, and timely medical treatment is required. !
Normal neonatal jumps will gradually disappear -5 months after birth. Before that, parents don’t have to worry too much!
As soon as he heard that the baby might be missing something, Xiao Kong’s anxious DNA moved again!

Don’t panic! Just supplement enough vitamin D!
Experts recommend that starting from the 15th day after the baby is born, the baby should be supplemented with 400IU (corresponding to 10ug) of vitamin D every day! can effectively prevent jumps!

Special attention: Newborns, low birth weight infants, and twin fetuses recommend an intake of 800~1000IU/d (corresponding to 20-25ug), which will be changed to 400IU/d (corresponding to 10ug) after 3 months. .
In addition, we can also create a " womb environment" for the baby!
While your baby is sleeping, wrap him up in a swaddle/sleeping bag to give him a familiar sense of security!

Give the baby a sense of security, and leave 2-3 fingers of free space , and that’s it!

If parents want to use a sleeping bag to prevent their baby from jumping, they must consider two factors when choosing clothes:
➤ Material:
Cotton gauze Transparent Good air and moisture absorption effect, easy to fit Sweating babies;
Ordinary cotton is more skin-friendly, flat and durable, and more comfortable for babies;
➤ Usage habits:
When sleeping, split-leg sleeping bags are recommended for babies who love to move ;
Sleeping is more peaceful and enjoyable A curled-up baby is more suitable for a legless sleeping bag.
In addition to the above points, parents should also pay attention to:
Is there a two-way zipper that is easy to put on and take off? Does
have embroidery decoration? Are there any harder threads?
Is it inconvenient to change diapers?
...
Summer is here, and most homes will turn on air conditioning, so in the end, the department suggested that Xiao Kong’s family prepare a summer-style ordinary cotton sleeping bag.
