For babies, a magical species, they will always do all kinds of things that make adults feel curious and funny. Especially when babies are sleeping, they always assume many weird postures.
These positions are very uncomfortable and uncomfortable for us adults. However, it is really difficult for adults to understand that babies can sleep in such positions.
Babies like to use their little toes to do " splits " when sleeping, and their actions are so cute.
Recently, when Tuanzi's mother was watching videos, she was attracted by a 9-month-old baby because she did it while sleeping. The pose is so cute.
The cause is that the baby's mother discovered that when the child is sleeping, always likes to "stand up" his little toes on the bed, and forms a "90°" right angle shape with the other toes.
Under normal circumstances, when we adults sleep, our toes are naturally relaxed. If we maintain such a posture, it will definitely be very uncomfortable; and such a posture also requires strength to maintain, and during sleep, there is no Unable to control one's own powers.
However, this baby did this uncharacteristically. Although it looked cute, the mother was worried that such a sleeping position would have a negative impact on the baby, so she put down the baby's little toes and adjusted them to a suitable position.
Just after the mother adjusted the baby's little toe, did not expect that the baby retracted his leg and then stretched it out, and the little toe naturally moved. It turned into the previous "upright" position , and my mother reluctantly tried again, but this time it was still a failure.
That’s it. After 7 adjustments, the mother finally chose to give up and let the baby sleep in this position. However, the mother was still worried that maintaining this position for a long time would really not harm the baby’s toes. Damage?
I have to say that seeing this baby using her little toes to support herself like this made Tuanzi’s mother worried about whether she would break her toes. Moreover, this baby is really stubborn and will stick to her favorite posture no matter how many times it is corrected. Keep using it, is such a stubborn baby. ~
Why doesn’t the baby relax and raise his toes when sleeping?
In life, babies’ sleeping postures are always curious, because they can fall asleep in a variety of weird postures. These postures are very difficult for adults to do, let alone sleep.
This baby is used to sleeping with his little toes erect and supported on the bed, which is even rarer. So does this kind of posture have any impact on the baby's toe development?
In fact, the reason why babies' toes appear like this when they are sleeping is often because their nervous system is not yet fully developed. To put it bluntly, such postures are not made by them on their own initiative, but are caused by their unconsciousness. A knee-jerk reaction without knowing it.
Generally, when children have this kind of situation, it has no impact on their physical development, so parents don’t need to worry too much. But if maintains this posture for a long time without changing, then you need to check the child's body to see if it is due to calcium deficiency or other trace elements.
Can we tell a child’s future personality from his insistence on “standing up toes”?
Many people, while feeling cute about the baby's unique sleeping habits, also made fun of the baby's character, saying that the baby will inevitably have a "bad temper" and be very stubborn when he grows up. So is this statement credible?
The reason why babies frequently stand up their toes is mostly due to unconscious work, rather than because they subjectively want to maintain such a posture, so it has nothing to do with personality.
In fact, for a 9-month-old baby, it is too early to judge what his future personality will be. As the saying goes, "You are older when you are three years old, and you are older when you are seven years old." It means that some of the baby's behaviors when he is three years old can reflect his personality when he grows up.
As for babies in the infant stage, their psychological development is not very mature, and they are more often in a state of "muddled development". What they understand most is eating, drinking, defecation, and crying to express their needs.
Heredity is only a small part of a child's future personality. It mainly depends on the influence of external factors, that is, the guidance of parents. What kind of person a child will become in the future depends on how parents educate and teach him how to behave.
And every child grows up step by step. Different education methods will naturally have various possibilities. Therefore, parents should guide their children in the corresponding direction if they want what kind of character they want in the future. The correct education method is more practical than simply observing sleeping habits.
