Pay attention to "sensory development" and "sports development"
My wish is: let China baby eat well, play well and sleep well!
Unconsciously, I have created more than 500 high-quality popular science articles on parenting. Follow me and read for free.
Many parents ask Mr. Wang: Why does our baby take it to the hospital as soon as it is disinfected every day, and it has a runny nose and a cough? We never go to crowded places, and the baby is getting sick more and more?
In fact, the main reason why babies love to get sick is lack of immunity. Why is our baby immune deficiency? The culprit is actually the "love and care" of parents for their babies. Let's see what improper "care" has destroyed the baby's immunity.
1, baby products are over-disinfected.
I often receive such a consultation: Mr. Wang, which brand of disinfection cabinet is good? Which brand of disinfectant is good? Can the baby's new clothes be disinfected, washed and dried?
In fact, for a healthy baby, you don't need to use disinfection products, just clean and dry it.
There is no need to use disinfectants frequently at home, because the normal flora in the environment is reduced, and the chances of the human immune system receiving normal stimulation will be reduced, which will hinder the normal development of the immune system and easily cause immune diseases such as allergies.
In addition, too careful disinfection of baby bottles and utensils, too careful scrubbing of breasts before breastfeeding ... will reduce the chances of babies being exposed to normal bacteria, delay, hinder or destroy the establishment of normal intestinal flora, which is not conducive to the development of immune system.
Intestine is the largest immune organ in human body. Eating a small amount of bacteria from a "clean" environment can promote immune maturity, which is a good way to gain immunity without injection and illness.
I seldom take my baby to public places.
Wang once treated a baby for more than 3 months. When evaluating the baby, the baby's family won't let me touch the baby's skin (in fact, we always wash our hands or disinfect with interest-free alcohol before touching the baby). The growth and development evaluation system of Nuno parenting includes the evaluation of tactile development and muscle tension. How to evaluate without contact?
I carefully asked my parents the reasons: apart from going to the hospital for baby care, this is the first time for the baby to go out, and the family members must be disinfected when they enter the baby's room; When the family comes back from outside, they can't touch the baby directly. When they enter the baby's room, they must change clothes.
I want to say: the baby's health is very important, yes, but is this family too anxious?
Although infants and young children have limited immunity and need a clean and tidy environment, it is not a sterile environment. These babies who live in too clean environment for a long time, once they enter the normal environment, are easy to get sick because of insufficient immunity. Too clean environment is a kind of interference to the immunity of people of any age. As long as it is not a highly infectious environment, we usually go to common public places (such as friends' homes, parks, early education centers, etc.). ) it is still very safe.
3, excessive use of sweat towels or change clothes
Do we often see such a scene: the baby is playing happily, and grandma or mom is chasing the towel behind. My best friend, Xiao Mei, lives next door to my house. She can take her children out with a dozen clothes on her back. Are you going to sell children's clothes? Even a Virgo like me used to take my daughter out for a day and only needed two or three clothes. This is really useful only when you knock over the cup while playing with water.
A local tyrant once asked me quietly: Teacher Wang Rong Hui, it is 26 degrees all year round in my home, and my baby never sweats. Do you think it's appropriate?
Nani, I just want to ask you, do you think it's appropriate? Have you ever seen how long the flowers in a greenhouse can be beautiful without a greenhouse?
In fact, chasing the baby to change the sweat towel not only interferes with the baby's concentration, but also is not conducive to the baby's adjustment of temperature and the development of adaptability. Finally, it becomes a bad situation that the weather changes or the sweat is not dried in time. The ability of temperature regulation is closely related to the baby's tactile development. Parents must not ignore the tactile development window of 0- 1 year.
Special note: what is said here is that it is not appropriate to "excessively" change sweat towels or clothes. If the baby is sweating and about to enter the air-conditioned room, the mother needs to dry the baby and put on dry clothes.
4. Have a runny nose and cough and take medicine to the hospital.
I know that many families will have a medicine box after giving birth. Then there is a box of all kinds of cough syrup, cold granules and so on.
Do you have to use it if you have it? Of course not. However, some families regard the medicine box as a treasure. As soon as the child has a runny nose, he will immediately fill all kinds of medicines according to the instructions. Aside from the unknown ingredients and side effects of many drugs, is it really good to take medicine casually without knowing whether you are sick or not? Not so good.
A common cold and fever takes about 1 week, and the cold medicine we usually use only plays a role in relieving and controlling symptoms. Cough is actually a defense mechanism of human body.
When the baby is sick, try to use a single preparation for the disease and try to avoid using compound preparations. If you use compound preparation, you should pay attention not only to the dosage, but also to the ingredients and dosage of the drugs contained, so as to avoid the superposition of the same ingredients in other drugs taken at the same time, resulting in excessive dosage. Too many anti-inflammatory drugs will reduce the baby's immunity.
Don't be afraid of baby's minor illness, and try to avoid unnecessary medication. In fact, whether it is bacterial infection or viral infection, although it will make the baby feel uncomfortable, it can also promote the maturity of the immune system.
5. Supplement your baby with nutrition or supplements.
In addition to seeing people drinking ginseng water for newborns and taking tonics for babies on the news, I often see people being forced to eat ginseng, bird's nest, cordyceps and so on by their families. If the immune function is normal, the use of immune enhancers may cause immune diseases such as allergies.
The baby's digestive system is not mature, and these inappropriate nutrients or supplements may cause an excessive burden on the baby's digestive system, and some may even lead to very serious allergies and other adverse consequences.
6, no exercise or less exercise
Some parents still have misunderstandings. Many parents don't let their children exercise, for fear that their children will catch cold and get sick if they exercise too much. In fact, the real health of human body must come from the good operation of its own body function, and exercise is precisely the activity that can promote the improvement of human body function. Scientific research has long proved that proper exercise can improve immunity.
/kloc-in February of 0/2, my dancer was running outside in cropped trousers. Although there is no ice and snow in the south of Guangzhou, it is only a dozen degrees, sometimes just a few degrees. Several foreign children in the community wear short-sleeved shorts all year round. Through communication with parents, they know that their children love sports very much, almost never get sick, and their physical strength is very good.
Proper exercise can not only improve children's immunity, but also be the basis of children's future learning ability and social ability. On the topic of sports, I will invite the teaching and research teacher of Nuno Parenting to chat with you slowly.
7. Intimate caregivers are always worried about the baby getting sick.
There is a phenomenon in psychology called projection, that is, what you are worried about will always happen. Many grandmothers are always worried about their children getting sick, and as a result, their children are really sick. Although it can't be said that children are "worried" about their illness, the anxiety of caregivers will indeed bring pressure to the baby, and long-term pressure will also lead to decreased immunity.
If you can't help worrying about the baby, try to say it out loud:
Baby, I love you!
Thank you, my little baby!
You are my favorite baby!
