In infancy, babies may touch their private parts, especially some male babies, who cannot put down their extra small flesh pimples.
Many mothers felt embarrassed and panicked about Eva’s [eccentricities]:
No matter what, I’m afraid the baby is getting more and more serious, which will have an impact on psychology and growth and development.
This tube, and don’t know how to tube…
Such a small baby is like this, is it precocious?
In fact, for babies, touching their private parts is normal and has nothing to do with precocious puberty.
Touch the private parts because of curiosity.
Generally speaking, male babies begin to show strong interest in penis from 8 months to about 1 year old.
In his eyes, the penis is just an organ, similar to eyes, nose and mouth.
Small-month-old babies have sensitive mouths and obvious interaction with their own bodies. From about 2 to 4 months, they like to eat hands and feet. Around the age of 1, children will slowly transition to the sensitive period of their hands.
At this time, babies like to pull bulges, dig holes, observe or press small objects.
The penis is very close to the hand and belongs to a magical protrusion on the body. It is often mysteriously wrapped in diapers. Of course, it will attract the attention and curiosity of children.
Touch the private parts because it is very comfortable.
Some babies will feel pleasure when exploring the penis.
Yes, even a simple and ignorant baby will get comfort through [self-touching].
Just like a child who has eaten a delicious candy and sees all the candy in front of him, he cannot help eating it.
Before the age of 6, the child’s body developed at a high speed, the gonad axis developed not steadily at this time, and hormones fluctuated to a certain extent.
To a certain extent, children will appear similar to adolescent performance, the corresponding sexual psychology also has some changes. It is somewhat similar to adolescent self-touch, but the degree is different.
The same is true of the little girl’s emotional cross-leg wiping syndrome and self-touching at this time.
The first common small peak is about 1 ~ 2 years old, and the second common small peak is about 4 ~ 6 years old kindergarten period. Different children may have different time nodes.
These are also the two normal stages of the baby’s development, which are completely incompatible with precocious puberty. Parents need not worry and interpret too much.
Facing the baby’s [hobby], can parents do some what?
First of all, eliminate [self-touch] caused by other diseases, such as dry skin, eczema, or pinworm infection, etc., pay attention to vulva cleanliness and hygiene, and do not wear tights for babies.
After excluding physiological factors, for normal children who like to touch themselves, parents are requested to remember the three no-no principles: don’t shout, don’t scold, and don’t scold in public.
It was not deliberately done, because adults stopped it, but it made children pay more attention, would want to touch it more, and even brought psychological pressure. Isn’t this worse?
If the baby makes such moves in public, parents can use small toys to divert the baby’s attention.
Babies around the age of 1 are easily attracted by other things and will not be too obsessed. Parents need not worry.
