I often hear a saying: the baby is still young, just wait for TA to grow up.
Does the baby have no eyelashes? Don’t worry, it will grow up.
The baby hasn’t had teeth for 9 months? Don’t worry, it will grow up.
The baby can’t eat by himself at the age of 2? Don’t worry, the baby will go to kindergarten when he grows up.
… …
Indeed, there are many situations where parents do not have to worry. Each child has a big individual difference. As the baby grows up and develops or learns, it will get better. However, there are four situations where parents really cannot wait. The earlier parents intervene, the better for the baby.
It doesn’t matter if the baby sleeps on the side of his head, it’s good to grow up?
The baby likes to sleep on the right side from birth. Now it is 6 months old. It is obvious that the face is big and small. There is a saying that the head shape will become round regardless of the baby’s growth. Will it not become ugly in the future?
The baby’s partial head is also called flat head syndrome. About 1/3 of the babies exist, and it is most common at 4 months after birth.
During the newborn period, the baby has a soft skull. If you don’t pay attention to changing your sleeping posture, it is easy to sleep off your head.
Some data show that as the muscle strength of the baby’s head and neck increases, the head can rotate freely. By 6 months, most flat heads and partial heads will slowly improve on their own.
What can be relaxed is that the head deviation caused by sleep does not affect the baby’s brain development. Even if most of the head deviation is not corrected, the baby will be relieved when it grows up, and the cover with hairstyle will not be obvious.
If the baby’s head deviation is very serious and the mother really cares, the best golden period for correcting the head is within 4 months.
Correction method: Position correction can be carried out slowly by making the baby lie prone more when awake and changing the feeding posture and sleep posture.
When the baby is 4 ~ 6 months old, the skull has strong plasticity and is still the time to correct the deviation, but it only takes more time and experience to adjust.
After the baby is 6 months old, the skull starts to grow slowly, and the anterior fontanelle will close from 1 year old to about 1 year old. Correction is not so obvious at this time.
During this period, if it is really necessary, for serious head deformities assessed by doctors, they can be treated with shaping helmets. In addition to bathing, the baby has to wear them all day.
In particular, it is necessary to remind that the popular folk practice of setting pillows and sleeping on one’s stomach is not among the suggestions of authoritative organizations.
The American Pediatrics Association recommends that the baby sleep on his back, and does not recommend using any pillow or other device to fix the baby’s sleeping position, because that may increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome.
It doesn’t matter if the baby can’t learn and speak for a long time. It’s good to grow up?
The baby can’t speak when he is one and a half years old. The mother-in-law said that the boy speaks late and the noble speaks late. Do you really care, you will get better when you grow up?
First of all, it must be admitted that there are indeed great individual differences in children’s speech sooner or later. Let’s first look at the milestone of language development. The vast majority of children will speak the minimum number of words at the corresponding age.
- 1 year old: 1 ~ 2 words; 15 months: 5 words; 18 months: 10 words; 2 years old: 50 words, 2 word phrases, strangers can understand about half of what he said; 3 years old: 4-word sentence, can tell stories, can understand 3/4 of his speech.
There is a difference of 4 ~ 6 months between children who develop late and children who develop early. If this time limit is exceeded, parents should pay more attention.
There are two factors that affect the baby’s late speech:
- One is the psychological or upbringing environment, such as parents’ few words, lack of rich language environment, parents’ guidance is not correct; One is physiological factors: such as autism, hearing impairment, mental retardation, abnormal pronunciation organs and other developmental problems.
No matter what’s reason, it is definitely not possible to comfort yourself with [noble language is late] to do nothing.
Some studies have shown that 50% of children with language disorders at the age of 2 can have dyslexia in the early school age. If the child fails to reach the minimum number of words in the above milestone, parents should ask a professional doctor to help them, investigate the problems and treat them according to the symptoms as soon as possible, and do not miss the best period of children’s language development.
Even if it is a trouble point, it is better to be sure that nothing is wrong than to miss the regret.
It doesn’t matter if the baby has tooth decay, it is good to change teeth when he grows up?
The child has two decayed teeth when he is two years old. He wants to take the child to the dentist and is afraid of suffering the child. Isn’t it necessary for the child to change permanent teeth? Can he wait until the tooth is changed?
Tooth decay is also called dental caries. Although small deciduous teeth will be replaced by permanent teeth sooner or later, the children will not fall off until they are about 10-12 years old and will be completely replaced by permanent teeth. During this period, the harm to children is greater than that to adults.
1. Dental caries can affect chewing and health
Affect children’s eating and chewing efficiency, children do not like to eat, nutrition cannot keep up with, the whole body resistance decreases.
2. Serious dental caries will harm permanent teeth and lead to malocclusion deformity.
For example, permanent enamel dysplasia or ectopic eruption of new teeth, early eruption or delayed eruption, irregular teeth and even malocclusion. Due to caries side pain dare not chew, long-term use of healthy side chewing causes occlusal abnormalities, but also can cause changes in facial type.
3. Dental caries will affect children’s confidence,
If the child’s incisors are decayed or defective, they will be laughed at in the child’s communication, and the child will not dare to open his mouth and smile, which will affect his confidence.
If parents find that the baby’s teeth are black or have caries holes, they are advised to contact a doctor for treatment. Early detection of problems, early intervention, so that the child will not suffer.
It doesn’t matter if the baby is allergic, it will be good when he grows up?
The baby was born with eczema, which is always intermittent. It is not good yet when he is almost 1 year old. The doctor said it was caused by allergy. It is said that allergy is caused by the incomplete development of the child’s immune system. When the child grows up, it will naturally get better?
Allergy in infants is an epidemic non-infectious disease phenomenon. The symptoms of allergy mainly include:
1. Skin: Urticaria, angioneurotic edema and specific dermatitis occur
2. Digestive system: vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, stool with mucus or blood, growth retardation;
3. Respiratory system: Frequent sneezing, runny nose, cough and wheezing occur.
As far as eczema itself is concerned, it does improve after the baby is one year old, but the baby’s allergy problem has not been solved.
Allergy is a dynamic development process, which is called “allergic process”.
Eczema caused by allergy in early childhood will gradually manifest itself as allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, allergic conjunctivitis and other diseases with age. Studies have shown that nearly 80% of children with atopic dermatitis will also develop allergic rhinitis or asthma, gradually migrating from allergy in one organ to other organs.
Children continue to suffer from allergy, so allergic constitution is really not good to grow up.
When the baby has eczema, urticaria, allergic cough and other problems, parents should not wait, but should check the allergen to see if the baby is food allergy or environmental problems. Under the correct diagnosis of the doctor, the child should be given appropriate treatment, as long as the allergen is found and strictly avoided.
If active treatment is not given, it will not only interfere with normal life and study, but also affect children’s mental health and growth and development in the future.
