Scares in my family are very frequent after birth. No matter what the environment is, his fright is endless. I tried to lie down beside him and put my arm gently on him. Once he was crushed by my arm when he jumped, which would have some effects, but the problems are: first, I can't hold on for long, and my arm hurts; Second, if you meet him with a big jump, you will lose all your efforts. Duoduo began to cry and couldn't go back to sleep. I can only hold more and go back to sleep. You can sleep soundly in your arms, but you will wake up as soon as you put him on the bed, but you don't want to form the bad habit of sleeping with him. I once stopped hugging him and continued to put him to bed to sleep, but no matter what I did, he still couldn't sleep and watched the baby cry out of breath. For novice mothers, it is very miserable to encounter such a situation. My arm hurts badly and I can't solve it. Watching the baby jump often is also worrying that the baby will not have any diseases.
In fact, novice parents need not worry too much. At that time, I also checked the information and found that it was actually not a disease. This phenomenon of babies is called Moro reaction, which is also commonly called scare reaction. It belongs to a self-protection mechanism for newborns. If you are slightly stimulated, such as strong light, sound or vibration, your baby will also have a frightened reaction. This is because the newborn baby's nervous system is not fully developed, and it is normal to startle and shake. Generally, with the gradual improvement of the baby's nervous system, it will gradually weaken and disappear after 3 months. If the baby has grown to about 6 months and still has a fright reaction, you should take the baby to the hospital for neurological examination.
Although the problem of jumping is not big, the baby jumps too often, which leads to poor sleep quality. How can parents worry that their baby can develop well? So parents need to use some methods to help their babies. The following methods can be used for reference by novice parents.
First, the package is in its infancy, but it should be moderate.
When a newborn baby comes to a strange environment, wrapping the baby in swaddling clothes will create a relatively narrow, closed and wrapped environment for the baby in the womb. This familiar and comfortable feeling can make the baby feel safe, less affected by external stimuli, and sleep more stably and practically. This method is more traditional. For example, some old people at home may have implemented it when we were young. Old people call it candle bag, but it is different from candle bag. The candle bag binds the baby's legs together, which inhibits the development of the baby's hip joint and even causes the hip joint to fall off in severe cases.
Now there are all kinds of sleeping bags for newborns on the Internet, with loose legs and a certain space for the baby, and the upper body is a sticky bag. At that time, I bought one for Duoduo, but it made him nervous to wrap it in this sleeping bag when he was awake, and then he struggled and cried and refused to wrap it. Duoduo's grandmother said that it was because he was not wrapped properly when he was born, and he was a little backward, which made him unwilling to be wrapped when he was awake, but this sleeping bag was not easy to operate after the baby fell asleep. Maybe I'm not familiar with it personally. Later, I bought a gauze swaddling clothes for Duoduo. At that time, because it was summer, I felt that the gauze was very breathable and the baby would be more comfortable.
Novice mothers can learn how to wrap a baby online, but don't cover the baby's nose and mouth when wrapping. And there should be some gaps between the left and right sides and between the arms. So as not to wrap it too tightly and make the baby uncomfortable. If the baby wakes up and doesn't want to be wrapped, it will spread out immediately; If you find your baby sweating, wet hair, blushing and shortness of breath, you must reduce the thickness of the package or spread it out in time; If the baby has a fever, you can leave it uncovered and let the baby cool off.
Second, touch massage, give the baby passive exercise.
After the baby is born, after waking up during the day, the mother can touch the baby, and the baby can do passive exercise as early as 2 months. Be sure to pay attention to the indoor temperature, especially in winter to keep your baby warm. Touch and passive exercise are also an emotional communication between mother and baby, which can enhance the parent-child relationship, relieve the baby's nervousness, make the baby feel safe in the environment, reduce the baby's shock stress reaction, and also relieve stomach discomfort and flatulence in the colon, and promote the baby's physical development.
A mother will ask how appropriate it is to wrap the baby when it is in its infancy. For Duoduo, he is an active baby. I'll wait until he falls asleep. He woke up crying and struggling, so I broke him up. After he woke up for more than two months, he broke free, swung his body and pulled out one arm first, and then the other arm came out easily. At this time, the use is gradually decreasing. When Duobao is 4-5 months old, he will be given a loose bag at night, because he also wants to wrap a little in winter. So this time is not fixed. Generally, you don't need to use it after 6 months, but I personally think it should be used as little as possible during the day after 3 months, because after 3 months, the baby needs more activities during the day and he will practice turning over. I remember that I bought him the kind of fitness rack with music and lay down for more than two months. He had a good time, and sometimes he fell asleep when he was tired.
If the baby develops well, then this time can be advanced. If the baby is weak, parents can extend this time appropriately. If it is summer, parents can end the baby's wrap-up sleep in advance. If it is winter, parents can extend the wrap-up sleep time appropriately! Judge according to the situation!
Parents of netizens should judge according to the baby's situation. Only suitable ones can make the baby grow up happily and healthily!
