The stroller that every household has can cause serious deformation of the baby\’s spine! Check your home quickly

For mothers, taking the baby out is not an easy task. Even if the baby is just born, if you hold it in your arms for a long time, you will feel your hands are numb and \”in urgent need of rescue.\” However, with a stroller, this problem becomes much easier! By letting your baby sit in a stroller, you can not only take a leisurely walk and go shopping, but sometimes the stroller can even serve as a crib for your baby, allowing your baby to lie in it and sleep for a while. However, did you know that strollers may be secretly \”trapping\” your baby? A mother posted a post on a forum, saying that her 6-month-old baby often \”nested\” in the \”soft sleeper\” of the stroller. Later, the baby started crying when sitting in the stroller. It was not until she went to the hospital for an examination that the baby\’s spine was discovered. There has been a transformation! What? Will strollers cause deformation of the baby\’s spine? It\’s possible! The baby\’s spine will undergo the following changes within one year after birth: Newborn: The spine has almost no curvature when viewed from the side, and only bulges slightly backward. 2~3 months: When the baby starts to lie on his stomach and raises his head, cervical lordosis appears. 6~7 months: When the baby practices sitting, thoracic kyphosis gradually develops. 10~12 months: Practice standing and walking to develop lumbar lordosis. For babies whose spines are developing, if the seat back of the stroller is relatively soft and the baby sits in it naturally, the seat cushion and backrest will sink downwards, unable to provide sufficient support for the baby\’s spine; in addition, if we If the stroller is not used properly and the baby sits or even sleeps in the stroller for a long time, the baby\’s spine may become deformed! (Similarly, the same applies to using a mattress for your baby. A mattress that is too soft may cause spinal deformation.) Based on the above mentioned, whether the stroller will deform the baby\’s spine depends on two aspects: First, you choose What kind of stroller should you choose? Strollers with soft seat cushions and backrests are detrimental to the baby\’s spinal development. (I have seen cloth-shaped strollers before, and this kind of stroller is even more of a trap!) The second is whether the stroller is used reasonably: over-reliance on the stroller, and even often letting the baby sleep in the stroller is not good for the baby\’s spine. healthy. Especially babies who are not yet able to sit firmly should not sit in a stroller too early or for a long time. Next, some mothers may want to ask: How should I choose a stroller? how to use? Choose and use a stroller based on your baby\’s age. The spine of babies under 6 months old is relatively fragile at this stage, so it is best to use a stroller less or not at all. If used, a lying-down stroller will protect your baby\’s spine better than a sitting stroller. In addition, the bottom of the stroller must not be too soft. As soon as the baby lies down, the bottom of the stroller will deform. In fact, not only the stroller will be deformed, but also the baby\’s spine! Baby after 6 months The \”after 6 months\” here does not necessarily mean after 6 months, but should be based on \”whether the baby can sit alone\” as the reference standard. After the baby can sit alone, you can use a sitting stroller with confidence, but you still need to pay attention to the seat and backrest not being too soft. It is best to have a certain thickness of the seat cushion and backrest, so that the baby does not feel uncomfortable when sitting in it. As for feeling too hard, and at the same time the spine and hips areGet strong support. What else should I pay attention to when using a stroller? Don\’t let your baby stay in a stroller for a long time. Strollers can make it easier for mothers to take their babies out, but they should not be overly dependent on the stroller. As mentioned earlier, sitting in a stroller for a long time is detrimental to the development of the spine. In addition, if you want your baby\’s movements and language to develop better, you should let your baby lie down more, crawl more, grab more toys, and interact more with adults… Don\’t let the baby\’s stroller limit the development of these abilities. Be sure to use the brakes when stopping. Many mothers rarely use the brake function when using a stroller. They just think \”Why brake?\” Although the stroller has wheels, as long as no one is pushing it, it will If you can’t walk, what are you afraid of?” But on some slopes outdoors, as long as we don’t pay attention, the stroller will slide down the slope, causing accidents. There was a piece of news in 2014: A young mother in London pushed her stroller into a subway station. Not long after she let go of the handle of the stroller, a sudden gust of wind came up. Because the stroller did not brake, The child was blown by the wind and slipped into the railway track. Fortunately, there was no subway passing by at this time, and the child was rescued in time. As the old saying goes, no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or the accident. When using a stroller, we must pay attention to this detail and beware of unnecessary accidents. The use of seat belts is also very important. In September 2015, a grandmother in Changzhou was lazy when using a stroller and did not fasten a seat belt for her baby. As a result, her one and a half year old granddaughter fell out of the stroller when the adults were not paying attention. He slipped out, faced down, and his mouth and nose were buried in the cushion, unable to move. He suffered from severe suffocation… A reminder to mothers: the safety belt of the stroller is really not for viewing! As long as your baby is in the car, be sure to wear a seat belt! The shock-proof effect of a stroller for a baby must be good. The shock-proof effect of the stroller is good, which not only makes the baby sit more comfortably, but also prevents injuries caused by \”shaken baby syndrome\” for the baby. (What is shaken baby syndrome? Interested mothers can click on the link to read: Attention! This action can cause intracranial hemorrhage in 3-month-old babies, but 90% of mothers have done it) Don’t push a stroller on the escalator. Recently, there are regulations News like this: An aunt was pushing a stroller on an escalator. The stroller suddenly overturned and the child fell out of the stroller. In desperation, two takeaway guys immediately threw away their lunch boxes and ran to save people… …(Although the focus of the news is to praise the delivery boy, but ~) Remind all mothers, if you are pushing a stroller, don’t take the escalator, take the elevator instead! Don’t take it too much trouble, the stroller has brought us so much convenience, so don’t steal it if you’re lazy! Never leave your baby alone in the stroller. Don\’t think, \”I\’ll just leave for a while, and it should be fine!\” 90% of accidents happen under this kind of awareness. So, your baby should never be left alone in a stroller, no matter how short your absence is.
