The hot summer has arrived, and many parents like to take their babies to swim. It can be said that the baby's love for water is brought from the mother's womb. Today, the editor will take you to understand what are the benefits of swimming for babies?
1. It helps the baby's joints to stretch.
Swimming helps the baby develop "water sense" and helps develop the baby's right brain creativity. When the baby swims, the movement of slapping the water with the hands and kicking the water with the feet can stimulate the development of the baby's nervous system and contribute to the healthy development of bones. Since babies have been soaked in amniotic fluid for up to 10 months before they are born, letting them soak in the swimming pool after birth will make them feel very comfortable.
2. Enhance the baby's cardiopulmonary function
Since the water temperature is lower than the human body's normal body temperature , after the baby enters the water, the peripheral blood vessels on the body will naturally contract. When the baby's body gradually adapts to the water temperature, the blood vessels throughout the body will gradually expand. , the blood vessels are constantly contracting and expanding under the cyclic movement, and the baby's heart function is enhanced.
3. Improve sleep
Baby swimming can improve sleep. When your baby swims during the day, he or she consumes a large amount of energy and puts the body in a state of fatigue. When it's time to go to bed at night, the baby will fall asleep more easily and the quality of sleep will improve.
4. Promote appetite
Baby swimming can promote appetite. When a baby swims, the body's metabolism speeds up and the demand for energy will also increase. This allows the food ingested to be digested and absorbed as quickly as possible, which can promote appetite and help digestion.
Precautions for baby swimming
1. There must be safe baby swimming equipment. Do not let the child stay in the bathtub by himself at any time, even for a short while. This is the most important thing to remember when bathing your child, as a child can drown in less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water. When bathing your child, if you must answer the phone or answer the doorbell, be sure to wrap the child in a bath towel and hold the child to answer the call.
2. The baby's swimming equipment should be complete. Before taking a bath, put the child's bath supplies (towels, bath soap, etc.) within easy reach of the bathroom. This can avoid leaving the child there when you take things.
There are many benefits of swimming for babies. Mothers must not ignore it. They should understand it clearly and take action quickly to protect the healthy growth of their babies.
