Pay attention to the baby's face when facing new things. If it is sour, the baby will close his lips. Bitter, the baby will open his mouth half; Therefore, from these expressions, we can play a role in communication, and take a closer look at the baby's expressions facing new things.
Pay attention to the baby's face when facing new things. We sometimes hear that babies' taste is not as developed as that of adults.
People have done a lot of experiments to know whether babies can recognize taste naturally.
Rosenster and Oster once did such an experiment. They put sugar, sodium chloride (salt), citric acid and cinchona cream (bitter taste) into the mouths of 12 babies born two hours ago. Then, they observed and photographed the baby's facial expressions when exposed to these four substances.
When adding sugar, the baby's expression relaxed and began to suck. On the contrary, the baby's response to salty, sour and bitter solutions is a negative emotional expression:
-Reaction to sour taste: the baby closes his lips;
-Reaction to bitterness: the baby has half a mouth;
-The baby has no special performance on sodium chloride (salt).
A similar experiment conducted by another researcher shows that when babies touch sugar, their tongues will protrude and click, accompanied by relaxation of facial muscles and sometimes a smile. But after contact with Cinchona cream, you will open your mouth half and make strange expressions (lips open, forehead, muscles around your eyes and nose wrinkled).
They will also wave their hands and arms in the air, and slightly shake their heads and dodge. For sour taste, the researchers observed that the baby's reaction was between these two extreme reactions.
It has been noticed that the baby's ability to taste salt is gradually developed after birth. In fact, babies hardly have any facial reactions to this smell until they are four months old.
Conclusion:
Although the newborn has not tasted any taste in advance (except the nutrition absorbed from amniotic fluid in fetal period), it can also distinguish bitterness, sweetness and sourness. Each of these three flavors will cause different facial reactions. But can we interpret these facial reactions as likes or dislikes? Sure!
In addition, after the baby is born, if we add some sugar to the water fed to him or her, they will suck more than when they drink clean water. So babies like sugar. Just like adults, their behavioral responses to taste indicate to some extent how much they like or dislike this substance.
The reason for these facial expressions may be functional: they may have a communicative effect on mothers ("I want to eat something else!") ) )。 As for the baby's preference for certain tastes, it may also be adaptive.
In fact, babies' natural preference for sweetness may be the result of evolutionary discovery and identification of high-calorie food sources, just as the rejection of bitterness and sourness may indicate that a food aims to avoid those foods that are often inedible.
Even the choice pressure of toxic food. If many babies refuse to eat some bitter food, such as some green vegetables (chicory, artichoke, cauliflower), parents should not ignore them, but should often let their children eat these vegetables until they accept or even like them.
Fortunately, babies' preference for sweets and liquid foods decreases with age, and they all learn to adapt to cultural norms and diversify their foods. This has positive significance for food and health.
One last piece of advice: when you feed your baby new food, pay attention to his or her facial expression, and you will learn a lot from it.
Pay attention to the baby's face when facing new things. Emoji Dai: Can you read the baby's expression?
Yesterday was the annual World Emoji Day.
You may be surprised: "Do Yan characters also have festivals?" Yes, Yan characters are so popular, and there are exclusive festivals! It is only little known in China, but it is celebrated in different ways abroad. After all, Yan characters capture all aspects of our lives.
Many netizens said, "If you don't know what to return, you will return an expression pack", which is enough to prove the important role of the expression pack in communication and the rich meaning behind it, because it represents the expressions in daily life and expresses different delicate emotions such as people's emotions.
There are three main ways of human expression: facial expression, language tone expression and body posture expression. In terms of expression, the baby can be described as an "expert".
Because they are still young and have not fully mastered the language communication skills, they convey many delicate emotions and express their feelings through expressions. From this perspective, the baby's expression is the "baby language" that parents need to master!
However, do you really understand the "baby language" behind baby expressions?
Don't worry, use straight A plus early education to enter the baby expression class time ~
Flat mouth (flat mouth)
The baby's mouth pursed, and his eyes showed an expression of "grievance", which was a precursor to crying. A flat mouth often represents crying, so that the baby can meet his physical and psychological needs and attract the attention of his parents.
At this time, parents need to pay attention to the baby's expression and different crying, and meet the baby's needs according to the actual situation. For example, a baby cries when he is hungry, indicating that he wants to eat milk, and cries when he is tired of his present posture, indicating that he wants to change his environment or posture. When the baby is yelled at by his mother, he will cry with his mouth flat.
Grin
When a baby grins, it usually signals excitement and pleasure.
After two months, the baby can form initial communication feedback. For example, in the face of Bao Dad Ma Bao's teasing and caressing, he will smile and dance to express his satisfaction with this state.
Parents should respond to their children's positive emotions in time, form positive feedback by smiling or touching and kissing, and render a positive emotional atmosphere.
Pout, close your lips, blush and frown.
These are usually expressions of the baby's physiological needs.
Men and women express urine signals in different ways. Boys usually pout, girls usually grin or their upper and lower lips are closed, and both of them usually blush and bump their eyebrows.
If parents see that the baby's face is red and seems to be in a daze, they should pay attention. The baby may want to defecate. Parents can observe the baby's expression in time, master the law of defecation and guide it, which can cultivate the baby's good habits more naturally.
Spit bubbles, suck your fingers and stick out your tongue.
This usually means that the baby is in a happier state.
After the baby's psychological and physical needs are met, it may enter a pleasant period of self-relaxation. At this time, he showed a satisfied and lazy expression.
At the same time, he can play with his lips and tongue, spit bubbles, suck his fingers and other actions, which means that the baby plays alone and enjoys himself, and his parents can take care of him without interference.
Free eyes, pouting
If you see your baby's eyes wandering and inattentive, especially after eating and drinking, it is likely that your baby is sleepy. At this time, parents need to put their baby to bed in time.
The baby's pouting action is to express grievances and anger, and parents need timely comfort; Second, it may be boring, reminding parents in a silent way: "It's time to accompany me!"
Eyes will "glow"
When the baby is in your arms, he always looks around, always observing the new things around him, and his eyes are full of curiosity and seem to glow.
Then the baby is exploring new things. When you look around with your eyes, your brain has been thinking, judging and remembering.
The baby will grow up in an environment with relatively suitable visual stimuli, and his intelligence will also be improved.
And if you want your baby to like to observe things around you, at this time, you need mom and dad to guide you carefully, talk to your child more, guide your child to know some fresh and interesting things, and keep your child curious and curious about the world at all times.
