16 parenting misunderstandings that will trick you! Especially in Article 4, 90% of parents have been shot…

No one is born to take care of a baby. I believe that every first-time mother and father has accumulated experience in parenting little by little, and some of it even comes from hearsay. However, Doudehui has to remind everyone. To this day, there are still many wrong parenting \”experiences\” circulating among the people, and these \”experiences\” not only cannot bring any benefits to the baby, but will cause various harms to the baby. So today, Doudehui will take stock of the common misunderstandings that parents often make when raising children, to help you be more confident on the road to scientific parenting. 16 parenting mistakes, one of which will always get you wrong – Drinking sugar water as soon as you are born. The taste buds of newborns are extremely sensitive. Sugar water, orange juice and salt are all strong irritants. Eating too early will seriously damage the baby\’s taste buds, causing the baby to be inactive. He likes to drink boiled water and is picky about food. The correct approach is not to feed your baby irritating food too early, especially for newborns. Do not let your baby eat sugar, salt and other seasonings before he is one year old. Even if you add complementary foods to your baby later, you should try to keep the original taste of the food and it is best not to add flavorings! Misunderstanding 2: Drinking glucose water to reduce jaundice in infants requires increasing the amount of feeding, which will increase the amount of defecation, which is commonly known as eating more and having more bowel movements, thereby achieving the effect of reducing jaundice. The absorption process of glucose only increases the glucose content in the blood and maintains the energy supply in the body within a certain range. On the contrary, it affects the total amount of milk the baby eats and does not increase the amount of defecation. Therefore, drinking glucose water has no effect on neonatal jaundice. use. The correct approach is to breastfeed more and get more sun exposure, so that jaundice can be metabolized by itself. If your baby\’s jaundice is severe, you should go to the hospital immediately. Myth 3: Breast milk loses nutrition after 6 months. So far, there is no scientific basis to prove that breast milk will lose nutritional value at any stage. Breast milk will automatically adjust each secretion according to the baby\’s growth to meet the baby\’s needs. The correct approach is that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that mothers breastfeed until their baby is at least one year old, and encourages: If you and your baby both need it, breastfeed for as long as possible. The World Health Organization and the Chinese Nutrition Society recommend that mothers should breastfeed their babies until they are two years old and beyond. Misunderstanding 4: People always think that babies don’t have enough to eat and they feed whenever they cry. Some parents, especially the older generation, think that every time they see their baby crying, they think the baby must be hungry. No matter what, they just pick up their clothes. Just feed. There are many reasons for children to cry, and they may not necessarily cry because they are hungry. If this happens for a long time, the baby\’s stomach will easily be inflated, laying hidden dangers for future obesity. The correct approach is to form a regular feeding time based on the baby\’s age and daily food intake. Misunderstanding 5: Adding breast milk or milk powder to complementary foods too early is enough to meet all the needs of babies under six months old. Adding complementary foods in advance will not only not help, but will also cause excessive kidney load on the child and damage the child\’s absorption of breast milk, which is counterproductive. The correct approach: The World Health Organization has proposed through repeated demonstrations and research (especially in developing countries) that the introduction of complementary foods should start from the age of 6 months, and should not be earlier than 4 months (that is, the fifth month). , no later than 8 months. However, it should also be based on the baby’sIt is necessary to analyze the specific problems of the situation in detail. For example, for babies with poor digestive function, it is best to delay the introduction of complementary foods a little later. Misunderstanding 6: Banding legs for newborns is a custom in many places. Many elderly people believe that this will make the baby’s legs straight and long when they grow up. In fact, leggings hinder the blood circulation of the baby\’s legs and are not conducive to bone development. Moreover, artificial restrictions on the baby\’s physical activities will also cause a great psychological shadow on the baby, making the baby more likely to be irritable, crying, and insecure. The correct approach is to wear loose clothes for the baby so that the baby\’s leg movements are not restricted. Misunderstanding 7: Keeping the curtains closed when sleeping during the day. In order to ensure that their babies can have a good sleep, many parents will close the curtains in the bedroom even during the day to create a dark environment for their children to improve their sleep quality. However, in the newborn stage, doing so is not conducive to cultivating the baby\’s day and night concept. The correct approach is that for babies under six months old, it is recommended not to close the curtains during the day, and to keep it dark and quiet at night. Do not wake up the sleeping child to drink milk, unless the newborn has not eaten for three or four hours. , to prevent hypoglycemia, you can start breastfeeding. Myth 8: Sleeping on hard pillows makes the head shape rounder. Long-term use of hard pillows can easily deform the newborn\’s head or cause the shape of the face to be large or small. Moreover, the factors that really affect a child’s head shape are genetics and sleeping position, not pillows. The correct approach is to intentionally adjust the child\’s sleeping position without affecting the baby\’s sleep, but you cannot forcefully interfere, because letting the baby sleep well is more important than anything else! Myth 9: Shaving fetal hair will make more hair. No matter whether the fetal hair is good or bad, it will fall off naturally within 1 year of age, so the hair after the baby is 1 year old is normal hair. And the baby\’s hair condition is related to genetics and nutritional status. Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether the lanugo is shaved or not. The correct way is not to shave the head of a baby who is too young. This can easily damage the hair follicles and cause the hair to temporarily stop growing. You can use a baby pusher to give your baby a haircut. Generally speaking, a boy\’s hair can be cut into a small crew cut of 0.5-1.0 cm, while a girl\’s hair can be cut shorter. Myth 10: Shaving eyebrows can make the eyebrows thicker and darker. The baby\’s skin is delicate. If the roots of the eyebrows are scratched, the position and shape of the shoulder hair may be changed. If the skin is scratched, causing infection, ulceration, and scarring, it may also cause the eyebrows to fail to grow. The correct way to do it is that most children\’s eyebrows don\’t have shape until they are about 2 years old, so you don\’t have to worry. Misunderstanding 1: Cutting eyelashes makes eyelashes longer. The length and thickness of eyelashes are mainly related to genetics and nutrition. Eyelashes can block dust and excessive light. Cutting eyelashes will not make them longer, curled, or thicker. Instead, it will increase the chance of contracting eye diseases due to the loss of the protective barrier of eyelashes, which may lead to Cause various eye diseases in young children. The correct way to do it is that the length, thickness and beauty of eyelashes are all related to the child\’s genetic factors and nutritional status. It is useless to cut eyelashes and let them grow again. Therefore, just let your child’s eyelashes grow naturally. Myth 12: Snoring means that the baby is sleeping soundly. Occasional snoring by a baby may be caused by a cold, but if the baby snores frequently, it may be caused by adenoid hypertrophy, tonsil hypertrophy orOther reasons are caused by affecting the ventilation of the nasopharynx. Correct approach: If your baby often snores and breathes through his mouth during sleep, it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time. Misunderstanding 13: Picking out dandruff on the baby’s head with hands. Some parents pick out the dandruff on their baby’s head when they see it and cannot wipe it off… This is absolutely not allowed! This may not only hurt the baby, but may also lead to head bleeding, infection, etc. The correct way is to use a soft towel, wet it with warm water and apply it to the baby\’s head. After it softens, gently wipe it off. You can also use special baby dandruff remover oil. Misunderstanding 14: Taking calcium supplements at every turn, sweating a lot = calcium deficiency, bald pillow = calcium deficiency, ugly head shape = calcium deficiency, crying in the middle of the night = calcium deficiency, walking late = calcium deficiency, not liking to eat rice = calcium deficiency… Actually , as long as you feed normally and supplement vitamin AD on time, calcium deficiency is almost impossible. Excessive sweating is most likely caused by covering the baby too much; pillow baldness is caused by the baby spending more time lying down; head shape problems may be caused by incorrect sleeping posture and too little tummy time… The correct approach is whether it is breast milk for 0-6 months Whether babies are fed formula milk or mixed feeding, as long as they drink enough milk, they will have sufficient calcium. After 6 months, if the baby eats a balanced diet, the chance of calcium deficiency is very small. But in short, whether the baby is calcium deficient cannot be determined by just a few symptoms or by going to a baby nursery to pinch a finger. Only a medical venous blood test can be reliable. Myth 15: It is better to urinate than to wear diapers. The autonomous urination function of infants and young children should be gradually improved with the development of the nervous system and urethral sphincter. Urinating before this will not help the child establish autonomous urination function. And urinating too early may cause anal prolapse, anal fissure, and frequent urination. The correct approach is to start pee training after the baby is 15 months old. Deliberate training too early may affect the baby\’s development. Of course, if the baby is more regular in peeing and peeing, you might as well try it earlier, but it should not be more than 6 months old at the earliest, because the neck and back of a baby that is too young are not strong enough and can easily cause danger. Misunderstanding 16: Never turn on the air conditioner for your baby. The climate is hot in summer, and the baby\’s body is less adaptable to temperature. High temperatures can easily cause heat stroke, dehydration and even sudden death. It may also irritate the baby\’s respiratory tract, trigger asthma, or cause skin inflammations such as prickly heat and eczema. The correct approach is to use air conditioners rationally. But before use, be sure to clean the air conditioner filter to maintain the temperature of the air conditioner at about 26 degrees Celsius, and do not blow the air outlet directly toward the baby. The hardships and endless learning involved in raising a baby can’t be summarized in this article. However, today Doudehui will summarize so much for now. Let’s check to see if you have been “shot”!
