In fact, there is no scientific basis, but it is easy to cause the baby's unique appearance, which may cause the baby's inferiority complex. In medicine, flat head is called postural skull deformity;
And it is a common head deformity. Among newborn babies, about 45% of two-month-old babies will have this situation, but the degree of deformity is different.
After listening to the old man's stupid words, I suffered in front of him.
Just like the netizen Qingqing, the old people at home always want Qingqing's baby to sleep on his back. Do you think such a head-shaped child will be smarter? Even if Qingqing knew that there was no scientific basis, she couldn't beat the old man's idea.
As a result, the child slept on a hard pillow. At the age of one month, the baby obviously has a slant head, not a flat head.
Qing Qing realized that the deformity of the child's head would only get worse. Finally, under his own efforts to persuade, the old man gave up his obsession.
However, the baby's head deformity has formed, and he has to seek medical treatment, fearing that it will have a more serious impact on the child: fortunately, with the help of the doctor, it took the child two months to return to normal.
Ma Bao should know that if you stay in the same sleeping position for a long time and give your baby a hard pillow, the baby's head may be deformed and his neck may be skewed.
There are even symptoms such as different eye sizes and crooked mouth, which seriously affects the baby's social interaction after adulthood.
Therefore, Ma Bao can't keep the same posture for a long time when taking care of her baby. We must fight against the foolish ideas of the elderly, and we can't compromise for the health of our children. How should I adjust my baby's sleeping position?
Ma Bao can take the following four ways? Temptation? way
1. The temptation of mother
Mother's smell and voice will attract the baby's attention. When Ma Bao finds that the baby has the symptoms of head deviation, she can sleep on the other side of the baby's head deviation, let the baby turn his head naturally and gradually adjust the position of the head deviation.
2. The temptation of food
Ma Bao can pay attention to adjust the baby's posture when nursing. Young babies come more frequently every day. Ma Bao can use these future periods to let the baby adjust the state of head deflection.
3. The temptation of light source
The baby's eyesight is developing. When the baby sleeps or plays, try to make the baby's offset part face the light source.
Nightlight can be placed at the bedside, and it can be placed in a place where light can be seen during the day, so that the baby has a sensitive yearning for light and helps to adjust the baby's head inclination.
4. The temptation of sound
The baby's senses are developing and he will have great interest in the outside world. Ma Bao can put some noisy and bright toys on the head when the baby is playing to attract the baby to observe carefully and help the baby adjust the state of the head.
In addition to the above four methods, Ma Bao can also assist in the use of head restraints or orthopedic pillows, and babies who are too young can use towels to correct their heads.
Matters needing attention
1. The baby's sleeping position within two months is very important, because when the baby grows up, the hardness of the skull becomes bigger and closer, and the head shape will not change.
2. Three months later
The baby's head shape is basically fixed, and the sleeping position can be arbitrary. If you find that your baby's head is sleeping a little off within three months, it is not too late.
3. When the baby is one year old to one and a half years old, the halogen door will be closed, which means that the baby's head shape is basically stereotyped and difficult to change. Parents should not adjust the head shape on the premise that the baby sleeps comfortably and stably.
Although it is common for children to tilt their heads, parents should also pay attention. Novice Bao Ma must abandon old ideas and raise children with scientific knowledge.
For the case of partial head, it is necessary to correct it in time. Don't wait for the child's skull to heal and set, and then make adjustments, which will be very troublesome. Therefore, Ma Bao should master the correct adjustment methods and time to help children more effectively.
