Newborn babies have soft bones, and if they often hold them, their posture is incorrect, like some novice mothers, who are generally inexperienced. If they want to hold the baby in the wrong posture, their bones will bend. Sleeping is the best condition for the baby's bone development, so the mother tries to let the baby lie flat on the bed to avoid artificial bending. Everyone says that children's beds should not be too soft and pillows should not be used.
If you really want to spend more time with your baby, you can lie in bed and communicate with your baby. Or adjust the correct posture when holding the baby.
First, you must remember to protect your head when holding your baby. Newborn babies usually have bigger heads than their bodies, and their bones and muscles are not fully developed. The body has no strength to support the weight of the head. Hold the head when holding the baby to prevent neck injury.
Second, hold the baby horizontally. When the mother holds the baby vertically, the weight of the baby's head will mostly depend on the cervical vertebra. Generally, the newborn's head accounts for more than a quarter of the body weight, and it is difficult for the cervical vertebra to support the whole head, which will hurt the baby's spine.
Therefore, it is better for the newborn to let him lie down more. The posture of a mother holding a child is really critical to the growth and development of the child.

Working in a tertiary hospital for nearly 10 years, with rich clinical experience. He is good at the diagnosis and treatment of common and frequently-occurring diseases in pediatrics, especially the diagnosis and treatment of common and critical diseases in newborns.
For newborns, my personal advice is to lie down more and hug less.
As soon as the child is born, the mother should have enough time and quiet environment to recuperate, and so should the newborn child.
Therefore, it is recommended not to have too many family members involved in taking care of children. If there are too many people, the environment will become noisy, which will have a great impact on the rest of mothers and newborns. More importantly, if there are too many people, they will focus on their children. If there is any movement, they will immediately pick them up, touch them, kiss them and shake them!
Let me talk about my own experience. When I gave birth to Bauer, it was June and I was confined to my mother's house. Because the baby was born, my grandmother and grandmother came early, and my mother-in-law also came ... The first-born mother-in-law didn't take care of things, and it was hard to refuse this time by offering to take care of the children.
There are so many people, the problem is coming, and everyone is rushing to hold the baby.
Dabao is just three years old and has a large family. She is active and naughty, and the house is noisy all day! I quietly enjoy this excitement.
My newborn Bauer is surrounded by many people. When she sleeps, she is frightened and easy to cry. However, she was caught and hugged! Later, my mother-in-law held it all day. Every time, only I strongly urge my mother-in-law to put her on the bed and let her lie down for a while. My mother-in-law will put her on for a while, and then I will hold my hand when I rest.
It will soon become, no hug, no sleep.
There are so many people who want to hold their children. Well, you can hold them until they are big. Soon after I was born, my mother-in-law wanted to go back to her hometown and didn't want to take care of the children. Grandma and grandma are old and have gone back to their respective homes.
The rest of me began to support or not support Bauer ... it was a protracted war!
As for whether or not to hold this depends on the state of the child, there is nothing to say.
The child has been living in the mother's stomach and belongs to a very narrow space, which makes it easier to feel safe. However, just landing in this world, they suddenly feel a little strange, their sense of security will be reduced, and they need their mother's love and care more.
The sense of security comes from the contact between mother and newborn. Some babies are in great demand, so they need more time to hold them. Some babies may soon get used to playing by themselves and have less time to hold them. But in either case, the baby needs to give it, which is good for the child's psychology and makes him feel more secure.
After the baby is born, there is a desire to seek security. Most babies are safer and more comfortable in the arms of adults. The baby's sleep mode has not been well established, and adults are more likely to fall asleep during the day, and it is easy to wake up when they put it down. But if the baby develops the habit of falling asleep only in the arms of adults, it is not easy to accept falling asleep in the crib. Should newborn babies be held more or lie down more? Can holding the baby vertically affect the development of the spine?
Should newborn babies be held more or lie down more? Indeed, every baby's needs are different. Some babies can quickly adapt to sleeping in cribs, whether it is day or night. For some high-demand babies, whether they are awake or asleep, they want to be in the arms of adults.
In order to let the baby develop good sleep habits, if the baby is about to doze off or fall asleep, try to put the baby in the crib. At this time, the baby is sleepy, and some babies fall asleep as soon as they put it down, or it is easy to let go when they fall asleep. But some babies cry for a long time when they are sleepy. At this time, you can take them out for comfort and try to put them in the crib.
Hug or crawl when the baby is awake. Although the baby sleeps for a long time, there will still be waking hours. When the baby is awake, you can hug the baby for a while, or let the baby lie down for a while and practice raising his head. When the baby lies flat, the vision he sees is often the ceiling, while holding the baby vertically can see the people around him and the external environment, which is conducive to stimulating the baby's visual development.
In addition, the baby is easy to overflow milk, which is related to the underdeveloped digestive system, especially the level. The baby is full and may vomit a little milk. In order to prevent the baby from spilling milk, it is necessary to stand up for a while after feeding, pat the back and expel the gas swallowed in the stomach.
Can holding the baby vertically affect the development of the spine?
Many parents are afraid to hold their baby upright. Some children have been holding them upright for four months. Parents are worried that holding the baby upright is not good for the baby's spine, and they are afraid of bending it.
In fact, this kind of worry is unnecessary, because we hold the baby vertically, and the baby will exert its strength in many places. The pressure load on the spine is usually not large, and the baby can bear these pressures. Just pay attention to the baby's poor head support, and adults need to hold their necks. However, after continuous training, including squatting and looking up, the strength of the baby's neck muscles is gradually strengthened. At 3 months or even earlier, the neck can support the head well.
Let the baby lie down for too long, especially in a fixed position. Some babies tend to tilt their heads, which makes parents very worried. Therefore, the newborn baby still needs to change posture, try to lie flat when sleeping, and combine lying, lying and hugging when awake. They can practice sitting posture earlier after 4 months, depending on the baby's sports development level.
In the past, it was generally believed that newborns should lie down more, and even some children were lying down for the first three months. The main way to keep the baby lying down is not to hold it until it cries badly, and then hold it for a while before putting it down. The reason why you want to lie down is because holding it badly will hurt your baby's bone development, especially the spine.
But now many babies have been holding it for a long time, because everyone thinks that holding it when the baby is crying will make the baby feel more secure and see a wider range, which is conducive to the development of the baby's spatial ability and make the baby smarter. At this time, the main concern is whether holding it will hurt the spine. It is generally believed that as long as the posture is correct, it will not hurt the baby. There is no problem in holding horizontally, and there is no problem in holding your ass in one hand and your neck in the other when holding vertically.
If mom is really worried, it is better to lie down for a while in the first month and hug for a while in the second month.
The baby has been hugging since the second month, and now it is four and a half months.
Does the newborn baby need more hugs or lie down?
In fact, you can do anything! The key is to look at the baby's age and development.
1, pay attention to lying down.
Newborn babies sleep most of the 24 hours a day, about 18-20 hours, except breastfeeding. Of course, sleeping is the most comfortable to lie down, no need to hug.
Moreover, the bones of such a small child are soft and often hugged, and the spine is always bent, which is not good for the child's bone growth for a long time. If the baby lies flat on the bed, it can not only flatten his body, but also reduce the burden on his neck. Therefore, in addition to special circumstances such as feeding and changing diapers, don't hold your baby too much.
2. Give me a hug.
When the baby reaches the third or fourth week, he will start looking at you, stretching his arms and playing with his legs, raising his chin for a while while lying prone and turning his head to one side. This shows that the baby is trying to have contact and interaction with you. At this time, mother should not neglect to hug the baby.
Adults don't need to hold the baby when he is asleep. After the baby wakes up, the mother can hold him, walk around, look around and talk to him gently. This will not only make him feel your love, but also stimulate him with words and develop the baby's brain.
3. The newborn baby is like this.
The baby's body is still very soft Be sure to protect his neck and waist when hugging. Hold the baby's back, neck and head with one hand, and hold his little ass and waist with the other.
Or put the baby's head at the bend of the left arm, with the elbow protecting the baby's head, the left wrist and left hand supporting the baby's back and waist, the right arm protecting the baby's legs, and the right hand supporting the baby's ass and waist.
Hold the baby horizontally for 3 months, because the baby's neck and back muscles are not fully developed. The horizontal grip can relieve the pressure on his back and neck to the greatest extent. If you want to exercise his small neck, you can let him practice raising his head on his stomach.
Should the newborn baby hug or lie down more?
I thought: anything will do! However, in the way of holding, lying down is also exquisite.
Experts suggest that when the baby is asleep, let him lie down, because the newborn baby usually sleeps for a long time, about 18 20 hours. Therefore, when the baby is sleeping, adults should be lazy and lazy, and there is no need to hug, which will make the baby sleep uncomfortably and will also reduce the baby's sleep quality.
In addition, the baby is basically sleeping all day, lying in bed and not turning over. It is naturally uncomfortable to sleep in a posture for a long time. Adults can help the baby adjust his posture without affecting his sleep, which not only ensures his bone development, but also ensures his sleep quality.
After the baby wakes up, adults can hold him, walk around, look around, talk to the baby and enhance the parent-child relationship. However, pay attention to the way to hold the baby!
The correct vertical posture is:
1, touch the baby's neck position with one hand, because the baby's cervical vertebra is not hard enough to support itself.
2. Hold your baby's ass with the other hand and try to protect your baby's back with your arms and palms.
You can also put the baby's head on your shoulder to make his eyesight better, and the baby will be happy to see more things.
When the baby is choking, burping or crying, it can be very comforting to hold him upright and pat him on the back.
When the baby is born, the mother's eyes are warm and loving, and she can't help but want to hug and get close, but many people will warn you not to hug more, so you can't let go of it when you get into the habit. What can I do if I don't hug?
There are principles for holding children. Take it when you should, and put it when you should.
Hold less when you fall asleep: the baby has just been born and slept for a long time. At first it can sleep 18 hours. At this time, hold less.
There are two main reasons. First, sleeping is an opportunity for baby's bone development. Newborns have soft bones and need to lie flat on the bed to avoid artificial bending. The bed should not be too soft and the pillow should not be used.
Secondly, children sleep for a long time, and parents always put it down, which will inevitably disturb children. It often causes children to cry and slowly develop the habit of cuddling.
Give more hugs when you are awake: If the child is awake and you are playing alone or lying there interacting with you, there is no need to give hugs. Once the child is a little upset and wants to see the world around him from another angle, it's time to hug him.
It is easier to hear the heartbeat of parents when holding a child, which is a familiar voice for babies. Walking around, looking around and chatting can stimulate children's nerve development and enhance parent-child relationship. Moreover, the stimulation of skin contact is very helpful to children's sense of security, emotion and intellectual development.
Horizontal hug or vertical hug is puzzled again
Being a parent is really not easy. Different experts say different things, and some say that holding children vertically broadens their horizons and is easy to be appeased. Some people say that vertical hug is easy to hurt the child's cervical spine and spine.
There was a CCTV program that took five seconds to appease the crying baby. Tie the baby's arm and hold it vertically. It's very effective. Almost all the children who don't hold well can be quiet, and the children in the experiment are very young. Whether it is a vertical grip or a horizontal grip, it is still necessary to understand the truth and methods.
Risk of vertical grip, cervical spine injury
Vertical embrace is easy to damage the cervical spine and spine because the newborn's neck muscles have no strength and the cervical vertebrae are soft. The baby's head accounts for almost a quarter of the weight, and the weight is pressed on the neck when it is held vertically. Without the support of neck muscle strength, the head will shake badly, and the cervical vertebra protects the child's nerves. Cervical spine injury itself will cause bone development problems in children, and it will also bring the risk of nerve compression.
Children like to be held vertically, so they should master the methods.
However, many children like to be held upright. This posture is his or her posture in the womb, which broadens their horizons. Even after eating milk, the upright posture is convenient for the air in the stomach to be discharged, which is comfortable and will not spit milk.
Therefore, when the child is crying and it is difficult to calm down, a controlled vertical hug is a good way to appease.
Master the essentials of vertical grip, and be careful not to hold it vertically for too long. You can temporarily support your child's back with your hands and let the child stand upright. Specifically, one hand holds the baby's back, neck and head, and the other hand holds the baby's ass and waist.
You can also lean back and put the child on your chest. More parents will put their children on their shoulders.
Develop strengths and avoid weaknesses, look at parenting dialectically, and find a method that suits you.
I am my father's spiritual practice and parent-child psychological consultation. Welcome attention.
Better lie down for a while.
Because for the newborn baby, the baby's spine is not fully developed.
If you hold the baby for too long, it will put pressure on the baby's spine, which will easily lead to the deformation and distortion of the developing spine and make the baby uncomfortable.
Therefore, it is not recommended to hold the baby for a long time. Especially when the baby holds upright, the method is wrong, and the neck and spine will be damaged together.
When are you going to pick up the children? First, burp after eating milk.
Because the newborn baby's stomach is horizontal, it is easy to spill milk or spit milk, so burp the baby. Vent the air from the baby's stomach. At this time, to burp the newborn baby, you need to hold the baby upright.
Let the baby gently lie on the mother's shoulder, so that his neck and cervical vertebra are not stressed, reducing the pressure and injury of the neck and spine.
Second, when the baby is crying.
Newborn babies are prone to crying in many cases. I've peed, I'm hot, I'm cold, I'm hungry, and I feel sick. I will cry to express it.
Sometimes patting and touching will stop the baby from crying. But sometimes it's not good. At this time, you need to gently pick up the baby and comfort her, but he feels safe and stops crying.
Third, the baby lies in one position for too long.
If the baby always lies in one position, it will be very tired. So it will take some time to pick her up, relax and change her posture.
Not exactly. Every child will form a habit. If you are used to sleeping, it will be difficult to let go, so you can't spoil your child. Children had better lie down when sleeping. In summer, lying in bed and in the car, he is cool, you are cool. It's cold, he lies under the bed, he is warm, you are warm.
