Taking baby is not only a physical but also a mental job.
From the beginning of the rush to the end of the handy, treasure parents need a lot of time [practice]. In this process, there will be many misunderstandings.
For example, many treasure parents pay special attention to the baby’s hygiene.
The clothes the baby wears, the quilts he covers and the tableware he eats are commonly used with disinfectant.
Take sterilized paper towels with you at any time, and when the baby touches the flowers and plants outdoors, he will wipe them immediately for fear of getting contaminated with some bacteria.
But in fact, excessive cleaning will easily lead to imbalance of baby’s skin flora and affect immunity!
When parents always think it is for the good of the baby, but they don’t expect to cause harm to the baby if they are not careful, so there are not many cases of doing bad things with good intentions.
The root cause of this [misunderstanding] is that parents do not stand in the baby’s perspective and scientifically understand whether he needs what.
Misunderstanding 1: Those with bacteria on their hands cannot eat them!
In the first few weeks, most of the baby’s activities are reflective instinctive movements.
When the baby takes the initiative to put his hand into his mouth and gets comfort by sucking, it shows that his fine movement ability has improved and his brain is also developing, so that he can make more purposeful movements.
Before the age of 2, babies can get a lot of [sensory stimulation] when eating hands, mouth and fingers, which is beneficial to brain development.
Many parents worry about bacteria.
In fact, the environment in which we live cannot be sterile, so long as we pay attention to washing the baby’s small hands, before they are 2 years old, there is no need to deliberately correct or dissuade the baby’s eating behavior, just let nature take its course.
Misunderstanding 2: You will catch a cold, wear your socks firmly!
Cold does not cause colds. When the air is filled with viruses and our bodies are tired or our immunity drops, colds will only occur.
In a regularly ventilated home, when the baby walks barefoot, the sole of the foot can contact the stimulation from floors, floor tiles, carpets and other materials of different textures, which can promote the development of senses.
The baby’s feet are exposed to sunlight and air, which is also good for the blood circulation and metabolism of the feet. It also enables them to better learn how to walk.
Misunderstanding 3: Nose excrement is disgusting, come and cut it off for you!
Why do you clean up Eva’s nasal excrement every day? There are still so many nasal excrement?
Because you are too clean.
Always pick her nostrils to clean up nasal excrement. Nasal mucosa is stimulated, which makes her more prone to runny nose and itching, and more nasal excrement.
If the cleaning is not proper, it may also bring some risks. For example, too much force may cause epistaxis, and unsanitary cleaning tools may cause nasal infection.
When the baby is healthy and only has nasal excrement from time to time, parents do not need to deal with it deliberately. When the baby is blocked by a large amount of nasal excrement, parents can wash the nasal cavity of the baby with normal saline.
Misunderstanding 4: How can you eat everywhere? I’ll feed you!
Eating is everyone’s instinct!
However, some parents worry that their children do not have enough food or eat all over the floor, which is too troublesome to pack up, so they simply feed them themselves.
As a result, the baby falls into a vicious circle of [being fed-not hungry-not eating-being fed], gradually losing interest in eating and becoming more and more picky and anorexic.
Parents always feed, which will hinder the development of their children’s ability to eat independently, and will also make children miss the exercise opportunities of their opponent’s eye coordination ability and fine hand movements when eating with tableware.
According to China’s < < Guidelines for Learning and Development of Children Aged 3-6 > >, three-year-old babies should be able to eat independently with spoons and begin to learn to use chopsticks when they are four years old.
Believe in the baby’s ability and return the instinct of eating to the baby!
Misunderstanding 5: A little chaos at home makes the baby smarter!
Whether the family is chaotic or not has nothing to do with the baby’s intellectual development.
If parents lock everything up, it will be difficult for babies to grow up in a rich and exciting environment.
On the contrary, if the home is too messy, it will affect the baby’s mood, and it will also make the child feel insecure and insecure during the sensitive period of order between the ages of 1 and 2.
It is better to let the baby have easy access to all kinds of toys, books and safe household goods at home.
It can create an exploration environment suitable for children’s height and activity characteristics at home, so as to achieve order in chaos.
At the same time, if parents can set an example and cultivate their children’s good habit of packing things, they will not only relax themselves, but also prepare for their children’s living habits in the future.
