What actions can't be done for newborns?

A baby was born at home. I believe that many novice parents, even grandparents, will be so excited that they can't help hugging and kissing their babies. But you know what? Newborns are actually particularly vulnerable, and sometimes a casual action by adults may hurt them.

What are the eight actions you can't do to a newborn? 1. Shake the baby hard. Because newborns can't talk, they can only express their needs to their parents by crying. Sometimes parents don't understand the reason why the baby is crying, and may think that the baby is making trouble, so they will shake the baby hard to make the baby quiet.

Hazard: It is actually very dangerous to forcibly shake the newborn. This is because the newborn's head is heavier and the neck strength is weaker. If the baby is shaken hard, the immature brain tissue of the baby may oscillate and collide in the cranial cavity due to inertia, causing damage to the brain.

2, hard to pull the baby's fingers Generally, when the baby is born, the small hands are in the shape of "clenching fists". It seems that just coming to this strange world makes them feel particularly nervous. And some curious parents may pull their baby's fingers for various reasons (such as concave or want to hold hands with the baby). ).

Danger: The reason why the newborn's fingers are clenched is actually mainly because the baby still maintains a primitive reflex after birth, that is, the "grip strength reflex". This is a very normal phenomenon. If parents insist on pulling the baby's finger, it may lead to the baby's finger loss.

3. Throw the baby high and catch it. Many parents love their newborn baby so much that they can't help but make it happy by throwing a Gao Baobao and catching it again. Of course, this way can really make the baby happy, but in the process of throwing the baby high, there is actually great danger.

Danger: Some parents may think that their baby likes to be thrown high. In fact, the strength of the newborn's neck is still relatively weak, which is not enough to support the head. If parents frequently throw the baby high, it may cause the baby's brain tissue to shift or even tear, which is not good for the development of newborn babies.

4, pinch the baby's face Although many newborns' faces look wrinkled, they are still very cute, and people can't help but want to pinch them to express their love for the baby.

Hazard: Parents often pinch the newborn's face, which is actually a very dangerous action. This is because the strength of parents pinching their baby's face may not be heavy for adults, but it is a bit unbearable for the baby. If the parents are strong, it will even affect the development of the baby's parotid gland or aggravate the baby's drooling.

5, holding the baby to sleep for a long time may be because the newborn is too cute, and some parents even have to hold the baby to sleep. It may also be that the baby cried as soon as he was put to bed by an adult, so he could only sleep with his baby in his arms.

? Hazard: Parents holding their baby for a long time will not only affect the baby's sleep quality, but also affect the baby's cardiopulmonary skeletal development. Newborn babies need to cultivate good sleep habits, and parents are advised to sleep with their babies less.

6, peeling the baby's hands When the baby was born, some parents may think that the skin peeled off the baby's hands is not good-looking and clean, so they want to help the baby clean up those skins. In fact, it is normal for a baby to float in amniotic fluid for a long time before birth. After birth, it is stimulated by cold or dry air, and skin contraction becomes easy to desquamate.

? Danger: It is normal for baby's hands (even body) to peel off. If parents insist on peeling the baby, it is easy to lose the baby's skin and even make the baby feel uncomfortable and painful.

7. Kissing the newborn In the face of such a lovely newborn baby, I believe most parents can't help but want to kiss, but do you know that once a newborn became difficult to eat and even unconscious because of frequent kisses from adults?

? Danger: There are a lot of bacteria and viruses in adult's mouth. Once the newborn baby is kissed, these bacteria and viruses will spread to the skin and even the mouth of the newborn baby with saliva. However, because the newborn baby's immune mechanism is immature, it can't resist these dangers, which is easy to induce diseases and not good for the baby.

8. Let the baby lie down for a long time. In real life, some parents may be afraid of the baby vomiting, or want to exercise the strength of the baby's neck, or the baby has fallen asleep and doesn't want to wake him up, so let the baby lie down for a long time.

Danger: the newborn baby is still soft and basically won't look up and turn over. If parents let their baby lie like this for a long time, it is likely to lead to the danger of suffocation.

Conclusion In a word, it is not an easy task to take care of newborns. Parents need to be extra careful in all aspects, especially novice parents. They need to learn more about taking care of newborns, learn from experience and avoid doing some harmful actions.
