How many clothes is better for the baby?
… …
Dr. Clove answered one after another, but he could not finish it.
All right, let’s have a big gathering today, with 20 common sense of parenting. Parents can see enough at one time.
1. The spins on the head have nothing to do with intelligence.

The direction of hair growth should be used to determine intelligence, so the baby will not do it.
2. Don’t eat honey until your baby is 1 year old.
As honey may be contaminated by botulinum toxin and may contain botulinum toxin, the intestinal tract of babies before the age of 1 is relatively fragile and easy to be poisoned.
For a 1-year-old baby, it is really his honey and my poison.
3. Rush milk powder, drain water before adding powder.
When flushing milk powder, you should first measure a certain amount of warm water (about 40 ~ 60 ℃), then add the corresponding amount of milk powder and mix well. The milk powder washed out in this way is not easy to agglomerate.
4. Don’t drink milk until your baby is 1 year old.

5. Babies who give birth smoothly will not be smarter.
Some people think that a clamping of the birth canal can make the baby smarter. Ding Ma is surprised. If a clamping of the door is used, the effect is not the same.

11. The baby’s meal is best cooked alone to cultivate a light taste.
For babies under 1 year old, salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce and other seasonings do not need to be added to the supplementary food, while for babies over 1 year old, seasonings should also be added less to cultivate children’s light taste, which is conducive to reducing the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the future.

For different children, the time and sequence of teething are quite different. As long as the baby has teething before the age of one and a half, there is no need to worry.
18. Vaccines at one’s own expense, if you have money, go and get
This is not to say that the type II vaccine at one’s own expense is worse than the type I vaccine free of charge. If the baby gets sick because he has not been vaccinated, he will not only have to spend money to cure the disease, but also the baby will suffer and the adults will be upset.
Therefore, for vaccines at one’s own expense, if you have money, go and fight.
