Sleeping on your back and on your side, different sleeping positions have a great influence on your child's height. How does your child sleep?

Sometimes it seems that I wake up as soon as I close my eyes. In fact, our sleep time accounts for 1/3 of our life. A good sleep is very important for our health. In the process of children's growth, quality sleep will directly affect their physical development.

It seems a luxury to have a good sleep after the baby is born. After all, children can't live without people, and even if they fall asleep, they may be in danger.

A few days ago, I saw a case of sudden death of a newborn in Weibo, which can be said to be very instructive. At that time, Ma Bao had just put the child to sleep and watched the child fall asleep sweetly. Ma Bao also feels sleepy, so she plans to catch up on sleep while the baby is asleep. But who knows that when Ma Bao woke up, the baby not only didn't wake up, but even didn't change his sleeping position. So Bao Ma quickly checked the baby's situation. Who knows that the baby has passed away, and Bao Ma fainted on the spot.

Although the child was sent to the hospital later, it didn't help, and the culprit was that the baby was sleeping on his stomach and his nose was in close contact with the bed.

"Sudden neonatal death could have been avoided, but many babies leave in their sleep every year. Tragedy like this is not a case. This crisis may be hidden in a seemingly warm scene. " Behind the doctor's brief speech in the interview may be the tragedy of many families. For children, sleeping is not a trivial matter.

Many parents require their children to sleep quietly when they are asleep. Actually, it's not. The child's sleeping state and sleeping position are also very important. After all, after sleeping for such a long time, it is difficult for children not to be affected by bad sleep habits.

Prone: cute but easy to affect the baby's health.

In many art photos and film and television dramas, most babies sleep on their stomach, which looks very cute, so many parents like this sleeping position of their babies. However, this sleeping position is easy to oppress the baby's chest, and the mouth and nose are also easy to be squeezed, which is easy to cause suffocation after falling asleep. And the baby has just finished drinking milk, especially don't lie down, otherwise it will easily lead to indigestion and affect the baby's height and weight development.

Lying on the left side: easy to press the heart.

For most of us, the heart is in a relatively left position, and it is easy for the baby to press the heart when lying on his side. Long-term oppression can easily affect the blood supply function of the baby's heart, and then affect the blood circulation of the whole body.

Supine: It's easy to choke milk when you just fall asleep.

Compared with prone position and lateral position, supine position will not lead to the oppression of organs, nose and mouth, and the body can stretch freely, which can be said to be the best sleeping position. Indeed, supine has many advantages, but a baby who has just finished drinking milk should not lie on his back. Because when choking milk in this position, the baby is more likely to choke on the trachea, and even life-threatening.

In this way, it seems that every sleeping position is not perfect, so how should the baby sleep? Or what can parents do to help their baby? In fact, parents can do a lot.

Help the baby change his sleeping position.

Generally speaking, adults will change their sleeping positions every 20-30 minutes to ensure normal blood circulation. But the baby's muscle strength is weak, and sometimes it is a little difficult for them to turn over. Therefore, parents can pay attention to the baby's sleeping position, and then help the baby change his sleeping position after a while to ensure the baby's safety.

Don't deliberately give the child a flat head.

Because of the particularity of bones, the skull has not been completely closed for a period of time after the baby is born, so the head shape can be shaped and changed by sleeping position. Therefore, some parents will deliberately leave a flat head for their children, which is actually unnecessary. The reason why the old people think that the flat head looks better is that the hairstyle of the Qing Dynasty will make the flat head look more square, but the current reality has changed. Secondly, children may not like flat heads when they grow up, or they may blame their parents.

Don't coax every time you sleep.

In order to let the baby fall asleep faster, many parents will hold their children to sleep, but parents should pay attention to the fact that they can't coax their children to sleep every time. Because when children are used to being coaxed to sleep, it will be more difficult to sleep by themselves in the future. Exaggerated children even have to sleep well in their parents' arms, and they will wake up as soon as they are put on the bed. This is undoubtedly a burden for children and parents.

Children depend on breast milk and food for nutrition, and sleep provides energy. Therefore, good sleep is as important as adequate nutrition. If the baby wants to grow up healthily, Ma Bao needs to pay more attention to the child's sleep state. What do you think parents can do to improve their baby's sleep quality?
