I think the planners of early education toys underestimated the "mouth-to-mouth period".

Every time I watch the demonstration video of toys, I always sigh why the baby inside is so good and cooperative, perhaps because it is their family's business.

Please pay this technical teacher.

My Sasuke is not so worried. No matter what props you play with, your first reaction is to rush to send them to your mouth.

I dare not rashly stop it, because the consequences of not satisfying my appetite are fully reflected in me.

I once joked with my mother and my wife:

My exam results are in direct proportion to the length of my nails-because I have a bad habit of biting my fingers unconsciously when I concentrate on thinking. The stock of nails determines the depth and consistency of my thinking.

The Nine Yin Zhen Classics was given to me.

This is a puzzle book.

In addition, I also like to eat straws, paper clips, clothes straps, etc. of McDonald's ... I didn't understand them myself before, but now there are many popular science articles. We all know that when children are a few months to more than one year old (even two years old), they will explore the world with their mouths. This period is the oral period. And judging from my various signs, it is a manifestation of dissatisfaction in the appetite period.

Suarez the Biter

Maybe it's just that my mother beat me every day during my craving.

Of course, people in the past didn't know the concept of craving period at all, but now, how to make children "chew" healthily has become an extremely important thing.

Here are some of my experiences.

Buy snacks/toys

I often see such a treasure mother in the group, and I really want to tell them that this problem can be solved by giving the baby a chewing gum at this time.

In my opinion, chewing gum of various shapes is the most important toy for babies around 1 year old.

Big radish

carrot

Hollow carrot

giraffe

Besides chewing gum, there are many toys for babies to eat. Many Japanese toys designed for craving are very open-minded. Here, I'll dig a hole first-my wife is preparing an interesting article introducing all the chewing toys in my family. Please support me a lot.

Let's talk about the selection and use principles of chewing gum first.

selection principle

1. The material of silicone for chewing gum is preferably food-grade silicone certified by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with appropriate hardness.

How to choose? Look at the product ingredients in the product introduction-it must not be made of latex, because some babies are allergic to latex! In addition, it must not contain harmful chemicals, such as bisphenol A and lead.

The simplest lightning protection method is to identify the brand. You can buy matchsticks, bananas and comodomo (but not every baby likes it). At that time, in my wife's article, I will introduce some tried and tested products. You can copy them.

2. Never buy chewing gum with pores!

This is a big minefield.

In the past, my family bought several chewing gums with air holes, which squeaked when a button was pressed. They were often used to chew babies until one day, I saw an article saying:

There will be water and saliva in the gums with pores. In this environment, over time, there will be particularly terrible mold+bacteria.

An American dentist, mom.

I found that this kind of hot deer chewing gum still has hidden dangers.

So later, we put away the chewing gum with holes and didn't intend to use it again.

In fact, there are also three-dimensional chewing gum without pores, not three-dimensional. It's so funny that I want to chew it. I'll show you later.

Principle of use

1, clean. Wash the used chewing gum every day, and it is recommended to take it with boiling water for a week;

2, some big-name chewing gum will still have a taste, you can boil the lemon for two minutes. By the way, pay attention to silicone, don't stick to the pot.

3. On the same principle as playing with toys, you don't have to give your child too much gum at the same time to keep it fresh.

A relaxed state of mind

be doubly careful

As the saying goes, "if you are not clean, you will not get sick if you eat it." The reasonable side of this sentence is that too clean environment can easily make children too sensitive to external environmental stimuli and produce symptoms such as allergies.

In recent years, when breastfeeding, the official advocate is "bacterial feeding" without excessive disinfection-the purpose is to promote the establishment of the baby's intestinal flora and the maturity of the immune system.

Therefore, it is the same for children to chew at ordinary times-relax and let them chew while ensuring environmental safety and hygiene. ...

I keep them all.

You two have a good look when you grow up.

But on the other hand, we need to be more careful, because the baby may swallow some dangerous things at any time, especially small things like beans, coins, buttons and soft sweets. If they are stuck, it is difficult to take them out.

Heimlich First Aid Teaching Published by People's Daily

Many friends, including many parents-in-law teachers, know this first aid method and have collected similar popular science articles, but believe me, it's no use just doing it-watching and doing it are completely different.

Two days ago, my family got a little stuck while eating food with their hands, and kept coughing. My mother was so anxious that she quickly took it out and patted it. That's good.

But it's all because of luck-because mom's posture is completely wrong, and it may even sink the food deeper.

But you know what? My mother took a practical class with my wife and me a few years ago. She has a junior lifeguard certificate. ...

What does this prove?

I suggest that if you have time, you go to the local Red Cross and other institutions to take related courses, which won't cost much, but the so-called skills are not overwhelming, and you may save your life one day.

Learn to compromise according to the situation.

Due to the craving period, almost all early education games (especially small steps) can't be carried out normally in my home. Every time we just keep order, my family and I have made great efforts.

Later, I completely believed in Buddhism and simply came up with a lot of impromptu "muddle through" skills. It is these "compromise" ways of playing that make me have fun with my baby and add a lot of sense of substitution to myself.

My attempt and discovery came from an unsuccessful early education game.

Twins' game scene

Maintaining order has become the biggest problem.

There is a game called "Cat Fishing" in Xiaobu-tie a piece of tape on the head of wooden chopsticks as a fishing rod, then put a sheet piling fish on the mat, and let the baby stick the fish one by one with the "fishing rod".

But the ideal is full and the reality is skinny. Xiao Zuoyou didn't fish with wooden chopsticks at all. When he held the "fishing rod" in his hand, he quickly threw it away and rushed to put the fish on the ground in his mouth. ...

In order to play this game in the afternoon, I modified this game:

I only raised two fish, and I took the fishing rod for my little sisters to rob.

At first, I was able to make sure that I could stick the fish before they caught it. As the number of fish became three, four and five ... I began to feel at a loss-these two ladies are much faster than I thought, and in the process, I want to make sure that chopsticks don't touch them. After they catch the fish, I will catch the fish quickly to prevent them from stuffing it into my mouth. ...

Come and grab it.

children

At one or two o'clock, I broke out in a sweat and refreshed; The two babies were very excited and laughed.

Lying in bed that night, I checked the original intention of the game again:

Focusing on the main points of knowledge, this game, after adaptation, not only went smoothly, but also basically exercised the baby's sensory movements.

Doing early education for babies who are eager to eat is sometimes the case. Don't be too dogmatic, you need a little wisdom to improvise.

On the premise of safety, exercise is good. After all, the best early education is companionship.
