In the process of taking care of their babies, parents will express their love for their children by doing some actions. But many people don’t know that the things you often do may actually put your children in danger unknowingly. Some dangerous actions may even threaten the baby\’s life. Today, Doudehui will take stock of several dangerous actions that can harm the baby. Mommies and mommies must be careful to avoid them when caring for their children in the future. 1. Throw and catch the baby. Many parents will throw the baby to a high place and catch it with both hands when it falls. In fact, many babies will like this thrilling and exciting game. Of course, some children are frightened and frightened, but parents feel that this will enhance the relationship with their children. However, if the parent misses the throw and catch, the child will fall and suffer fractures or more serious injuries. 2. Pull the carrot. Many parents have also played the game of \”Pull the Carrot\”, which involves holding the baby\’s neck or arms with both hands to lift the child completely off the ground. This is actually uncomfortable for the child, and the action of pulling out the radish can easily sprain the child\’s joints and cause dislocation. 3. Shake the baby. Slight shaking is beneficial to the baby\’s brain neurological development. But if the shaking is too violent, the baby\’s brain and neck will be damaged. For example, when some parents cannot calm their children\’s emotions, they easily lose control of their emotions and shake their babies vigorously in anger. This behavior is particularly likely to cause brain and cervical spine damage in babies under 6 months old. Those with minor injuries may experience symptoms such as oversensitivity, trembling, vomiting, poor appetite, and drowsiness. Those with more severe injuries may experience coma, blindness, eye bleeding, brain damage, cerebral hemorrhage, epilepsy, spinal injury, respiratory arrest, etc. Serious consequences, even death. 4. Children\’s annular ligaments are not fully developed and are much looser than those of adults. If you lift the baby\’s hands and swing them back and forth at this time, or pull the child\’s arms in circles, it is easy to cause joint dislocation, and only a doctor can remedy it. Moreover, an arm that has been dislocated before is very easy to dislocate again. Therefore, it is best for parents not to jerk or pull the baby\’s arms to swing or rotate off the ground. 5. Pinch the nose to give medicine. In order to make the baby take the medicine faster, many parents will pinch the child\’s nose and give medicine. As everyone knows, this will force the child to breathe through the mouth and open the airway. It is very easy for the medicine to be accidentally inhaled into the trachea, which may cause coughing and choking, bronchitis and aspiration pneumonia, or in severe cases, block the respiratory tract and cause suffocation. In addition, there is the same danger in giving medicine to children when they are crying. 6. Mouth-to-mouth feeding During the daily feeding process, there are always some parents who help their babies chew food, lick to test the temperature, and kiss their babies\’ mouths… However, this kind of intimate behavior is actually a process of spreading germs. Mouth-to-mouth feeding will reduce the baby\’s ability to chew, and when the teeth do not receive the stimulation they deserve, late teething is likely to occur. In addition, there are many pathogenic bacteria in the adult population that babies are difficult to resist. Mouth-to-mouth feeding can easily cause babies to be infected with diseases such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, pneumonia, and even syphilis. 7. Frequently touching the baby\’s penis or teasing the baby by playing with the genitals will generally not have much impact on the private parts.It is noisy, but it will affect the psychology of young children, so this behavior must be avoided (except for cleaning the baby\’s private parts). 8. Let the baby catch food with his mouth. Some parents will throw peanuts, beans and other food upwards, and then let the baby catch it with his mouth, or put it directly into the baby\’s mouth. In fact, this kind of game is very dangerous, because once the food enters the baby\’s trachea, the baby will choke and cough, and in serious cases, it will cause serious consequences of suffocation! 9. Don’t use “gaiters” or “candle wraps” to shape your baby’s legs. This method will not prevent bow legs, nor will it tie the legs very straight. Instead, it will be detrimental to the development of the baby\’s hip joints and easily affect the blood circulation of the limbs. If it is tied too tight, it may also face the risk of amputation. 10. Use a walker too early. Babies generally have enough leg strength to stand after ten months and learn to walk around one year old. Practicing walking too early or using a walker for a long time will not only easily lead to lower limb deformity, the habit of foot inversion and valgus, but also the risk of sprained feet and falls. If the baby is deficient in calcium, it may also cause O-shaped legs. It is recommended that parents not let their babies rely too much on walkers. The healthiest way is to let their children practice crawling. Firstly, it can exercise the coordination of the limbs. Secondly, it can better exercise the leg muscles. When the baby can naturally stand on the wall, time, then it is not far away from learning to walk. You need to use appropriate methods to bond with your baby or take care of your baby, because if you do it wrong, it will endanger your baby\’s health. Perhaps, there are still many parents around you who don’t know this, so send it to them at this moment!
