What should I do if my baby's ribs are everted? How to correct it?
When the baby has rib eversion, the novice mother will be very anxious. In addition to taking the child to the hospital for physical examination, we should also find out the cause of eversion, because the symptom of eversion of ribs is to let the child lie flat with his head and feet at the same level. At this time, it will be observed that the bottom rib of the child will protrude. This situation is called rib eversion, and its causes are different, mainly including:

1, vitamin deficiency in the body, that is, rickets caused by calcium deficiency. In fact, in infancy, children who are not well cared for are prone to vitamin deficiency, which affects the development of bones. If it is caused by this reason, it is necessary to treat it according to the doctor's advice, adjust the diet and supplement vitamins.

2. Simple rib development mainly occurs in infants under one year old, because children of this age still mainly breathe in the abdomen, the breathing range is too large, and the children's bones are soft, which will cause rib eversion. After two years old, with the development of all aspects of the body, this problem does not exist.

3. The parents' cuddling posture is incorrect, and the baby's skeletal muscles don't have much support. Parents cuddle their babies for a long time or in one posture, which will cause the bones to protrude in one direction. For example, if they are used to cuddling on the right side, the ribs on the right side of the baby will protrude and stick to adults. After a long time, the right rib will protrude outward. Therefore, paying attention to the method of holding the baby and adjusting the external position and posture regularly are conducive to the healthy growth of the baby.

How does darling rib eversion correct?

First of all, increase children's activity, especially for the exercise of vital capacity and chest expansion. When exercising, the baby can lie flat or lean on the knees of adults, and then let the child bend his arms and do cross stretching exercises on his chest.

Secondly, it is necessary to supplement the baby with vitamin D and calcium, and the diet structure should also be improved. Especially after half a year old, the baby should add bean products to the complementary food, and usually pay attention to more sun exposure to promote the absorption of calcium.

Finally, if the expected effect cannot be achieved through early correction, surgery will be needed later.
