What exercise does the baby want to do? If you don't go to early education classes or mom and dad don't have so much thought and time to design games, just remember to let the baby lie down more. "Sleeping on your back and playing on your stomach" is the simplest principle for raising a baby before the age of one.
We all know that exercise has many benefits, which can exercise and enhance immunity. Moreover, the brain regions that people need to activate during exercise coincide with the brain regions that carry out cognitive activities to a great extent. Therefore, from the perspective of children's sports ability, it can affect children's future cognitive ability.
If mom and dad still think that sports are not important, "my children don't want to be athletes, just run and walk, and learning knowledge and talent is the key." This is a big mistake. Starting exercise at an early age has a far-reaching impact on children's future study.
There is also exercise, and the baby can start from birth. This exercise is called "prone".
Prone is the beginning of the development of great sports: from the above picture, we can find that the baby's sports development is from top to bottom, that is, he can stand upright (can raise his head) first, then slowly have strength in his back, can sit, then gradually develop to his lower limbs, and finally can walk, run and jump. If you don't give me a chance to lie down in the first place, how can you practice raising your head? If there is not enough exercise in the first stage, it will naturally affect the subsequent sports development.
I have contacted many babies who can't turn over after five months, can't crawl after 10 months, and have to walk after one and a half years ... nine times out of ten, it's because they didn't lie down enough in the early stage.
1. prone gives the baby more opportunities to practice raising his head and turning his head, exercise the strength and coordination of the neck, back and limbs, and let the baby learn to turn over and crawl faster.
2. Promote the development of cervical spine and spine. We will find that when the baby is lying down, his head is held high and his back is straight. This will make the baby have a unified head shape and a straight posture, and the chance of hunchback and chest will be greatly reduced in the future; It will promote the baby's future value.
3. The prone position will make the baby have a certain abdominal pressure, which can exercise the baby's heart and lungs and promote the development of the baby's respiratory system and cardiopulmonary function.
4. Improve your baby's cognitive ability. Compared with a baby who lies all day and only sees the ceiling, lying will make the child see the world from a completely different perspective, see more things and have more visual stimuli, which will help the baby to better explore the world around him and stimulate curiosity.
Adequate exercise can promote the baby's sleep ability and sleep quality. After playing enough, the baby will sleep well when he is tired.
1. When lying prone, put your small hands on your chest to support your baby's head and chest;
2. When lying prone, please try to open your baby's palm (you can touch it more, or practice grasping objects of different materials for your baby, and don't forcibly open it for babies under three months);
3. When the baby is prone, the feet should land on the ground, and the "airplane feet" (the feet are inclined when lying prone) are not conducive to crawling and walking behind;
After 4.3 months, when the baby is prone, the calf cannot curl at right angles to the thigh;
At 5.3 months, the baby's upper limbs should be able to support the entire upper body;
[Sun] Precautions
1. The baby is prone when awake;
2. Don't let the baby lie down just after breastfeeding, at least half an hour after breastfeeding;
3. Start practicing on a spacious and supportive plane. Sofas and beds that are too soft are not good choices.
4. The baby must be accompanied by an adult to avoid being blocked by items such as quilts and towels when facing down;
When the baby lies flat, keep the clothes under the stomach and abdomen flat to ensure safety.
1. Lying on your mother's chest
Babies like to look at their mother's face, listen to her singing and feel her heartbeat. After the baby is born, you can lie on your mother's chest and slowly raise your head, which can improve the parent-child relationship while exercising the neck and back muscles.
Lying on mom's lap
It is recommended to use this method when the baby's neck strength is sufficient; It's hard. Mothers should pay attention to the balance of their bodies and protect their babies. It is suggested that you can invite your father and other family members to help and protect you at this time.
Lying on a candy pillow/bath towel
If the baby often cries because he falls on the mat, the mother can put the candy pillow across the baby's armpit, so that the baby will not be anxious because he is tired and can't breathe or see.
Mom can also take some interesting things to make the baby look up. When the baby is tired, let him lie on the candy pillow for two minutes, and then encourage the baby to continue lying down. (Candy pillows should not be too big or too high. For babies under three months old, bath towels can be stacked three or four times. )
Look in the mirror on your stomach.
When the baby is lying on the mat, the parents will put a small mirror in front of the baby, which will greatly improve the fun of prone, and you will find that the baby likes prone. Parents can put the baby away from the mirror 15cm, and let the baby look straight into the mirror. Parents look at the "baby" in the mirror and say, "Huh? Who do you think this is? This is the baby. " "Who is this? This is mom. "
grasp the opportunity
The smaller the baby, the smaller the ball, and the ball should not be too bulging. If it is too drum, the baby will feel something against his stomach and feel uncomfortable. Hold the baby's armpit when lying flat and shake it gently. Remember not to swagger. If you lie on a high yoga ball, you must protect your baby to avoid accidents such as falling or slipping.
Lying with the baby
When parents lie prone, remember to keep their eyes flush with the baby. If you also like to lie prone, your baby can feel it.
7. Play on your stomach
When the baby is lying down, play tambourines, ring bells, blow bubbles, make faces, sing, hide from the cat with a towel in front ... and move your brain.
8. Rolling and crawling toys
Putting some walking and running toys (such as cars and rolling balls) in front of the baby can not only exercise the baby's head up, but also help exercise the baby's visual tracking ability.
The speed and amplitude of rolling can be increased or decreased according to the baby's age. Parents can observe whether the baby's eyes are turning to keep up with the movement of the object.
9. airplane hug
Many babies don't like lying down because of their perspective. To some extent, airplane hugs can replace lying down. This posture can meet the baby's visual stimulation needs.
One: My baby doesn't like parties?
Newborn babies cry when they lie down, so adults just pick them up, or just turn ta upside down and lie down, so adults think that babies don't like lying down.
In fact, the baby at this stage has not yet formed his own preferences. Many times, when they are held, they can feel the company of adults and make them feel safe.
Or if the baby lies on his back for a long time and becomes prone, he will be uncomfortable, afraid and uncomfortable, and he will not want to lie down by himself over time.
For babies in this situation, parents need to kneel down, talk and sing in the same posture as their children, so that children can feel that their parents are still around.
So, let him lie down more since he was a child.
Two: When can the baby start practicing prone?
Don't worry about the baby being too young to lie down. Babies can practice prone from birth, and 0 to 6 months is the golden age for babies to prone. Humans are vertebrates, prone is an innate instinct, but the newborn's small head can't turn very flexibly, so adults need to look after them when they are prone to avoid blocking their noses or other babies' discomfort.
Three: How long can you lie down at a time?
Lower expectations and let the baby start from 1 sec. Practice several times a day for a short time, step by step.
Some babies can only lie down for a few seconds at first and keep practicing. Generally, you can lie down for more than 10 minutes in 3 months.
Four: How many times can I lie down every day?
Before the baby can crawl, as long as he is awake and energetic, let him lie down (not allowed to lie down for half an hour after eating)! Prepare fun toys, and mom and dad will watch.
If the baby is sleepy, hungry or unwell, don't force him to practice.
Five: won't the baby be tired when lying down?
If mom feels tired lying alone, it may be that you didn't lie down enough in infancy. Most babies like to look up at the world.
Six: Is it bad for the neck if the baby lies too much?
Let the baby lie prone from 1 sec. According to the development of baby's muscles and joints, the prone time will increase. Don't let the baby lie very tired at once. If you are tired of crying, your baby may not like lying down next time.
Seven: spit milk on your stomach?
It is a very normal physiological phenomenon for a baby to vomit milk on his stomach. Actually, spitting milk has little to do with lying down. Many of our babies spit milk without lying down, which is a problem of children's development. As the stomach matures, the phenomenon of spitting milk will decrease. Even if the baby vomits milk on his stomach, he won't feel particularly uncomfortable, which is completely different from the adult's ill-timed vomiting, so we should have a normal mind: this is a very normal physiological stage.
