Is it true that newborns have no knees? 10 cool facts about newborns, how many do you know
Some time ago, my friend Xiao Zhang gave birth to her second child. I made an appointment with some of my best friends to visit her and the child over the weekend. While visiting her, we encountered an interesting incident. The child's grandmother reminds Xiao Zhang from time to time to be careful not to hurt the child's legs.
Xiao Wang next to him asked puzzledly: "Why does your mother-in-law always remind you to be careful? You have hurt the child's legs."
Xiao Zhang said with a smile: "My mother-in-law said that the child has no knees and the posture of holding him is wrong. , it will hurt the child's legs."
Such a sentence shocked Xiao Wang: "The child has no knees, why don't you take the child to see a doctor?"
Xiao Zhang said: "Why are you nervous? He is just born. "The baby has no knees."
Xiao Wang looked at me in disbelief: "Sister, you are an expert in this field, is it true?"
I said with a smile: "Many people say that newborns have no knees. That's right. That's right, it's not right either..."
After hearing my explanation, Xiao Wang suddenly realized.
Let’s talk about 10 cold facts about newborns
. Children eat their hands to comfort themselves
There are two main reasons why newborns love to eat their hands. One is to comfort themselves, and the other is to understand their own bodies. Of course, when babies start teething, they still use it to grind their teeth and relieve itching. Of course, it may also be because they are not full.
. Newborns have no knees
Many people think that newborns have no knees, which is not entirely true. The knees of newborns are made of cartilage, which is relatively soft and cannot be touched. It’s not until 6 months old that the knee cartilage calcifies and develops into a hard knee. Isn’t it amazing?
It should be noted that even after the baby has knees, the development of ligaments is still very slow and it is easy to be injured and dislocated. This is why Grandma Xiao Wang keeps reminding her.
3. Crying for a sense of accomplishment
There are many reasons why babies cry, such as being hungry, peeing, sleepy, sick, etc. do you know? Babies will cry for no reason, and will smile with satisfaction after crying enough. Infant psychologists say that this kind of crying is to satisfy their own sense of achievement.
4. The baby will be closer to whomever he sees when he wakes up. Newborns' eyesight is not good and they can see very close distances. After 4 months, they begin to recognize people, and are especially impressed by the first person they see when they wake up, and decide that this person is important to them. Therefore, we often say that whoever takes care of the child more and sleeps with the child will be closer to the child.
5. Babies play tricks on you
Don’t look at babies because they are small, they will also play tricks on you. If the mother comes to hold the baby when it cries, it won't take long for the baby to discover this secret and use this nirvana when needed.
6. 20 cm in one year
A child’s height development has three rapid periods. The infancy should be the period of fastest growth, and can grow 20 cm in one year.
7. Laughing is not directed at you
When the baby laughs for the first time, the parents will also be excited and excited. However, I advise parents not to be too happy because the smile of a baby 2 months ago has no meaning and is just an unconscious reflex action.
8. Sleeping will scare you awake
Have you ever discovered that newborn babies are easily frightened when sleeping. This is caused by the baby's innate startle reflex. The startle reflex will disappear when the baby reaches five or six months old, so parents don't have to worry too much.
9. The more tired you are, the more energetic you become
I don’t know if you have noticed that sometimes the baby becomes more excited at night, more energetic than during the day, and keeps playing and making trouble with you.Parents must not think that their children are in good spirits. This just means that the children are very tired. If they are overtired, they will become excited. So it’s time for mom to dim the lights and start a sleep ritual.
0. Poor eyesight, still black and white
Newborn babies have poor eyesight and can only see objects about 20 centimeters. In addition, babies less than 2 months old see the world in black and white.
