Wanting to eat when hungry is one of human instincts. Whether it is an adult or an ignorant baby, it will not violate human instincts, but the baby always seems to have no time to eat. This is not because he does not love to eat, but because he might not be hungry at all.

As the saying goes: "If you want your child to be safe, you need three points of hunger and cold." This sentence is easy to understand. If a child is already hungry before eating, he will eat faster and more when eating.But the actual situation is that with the improvement of living conditions, it is very difficult to make children hungry before eating.

The first reason is snacks.

There are all kinds of snacks on the market now. These snacks taste good and taste good. Of course, children still prefer these snacks compared to meals.Even adults can't resist the temptation of snacks sometimes, let alone children?

Children have a lot of free time in a day, except for playing, they spend most of the time eating snacks. These little things can not only satisfy his pursuit of sweets, but also fill his stomach.When it was time to eat, he had no appetite at all, so naturally he would not "eat well".

The second reason, which is also very common, is that there are too many distracting factors when the baby eats.

Some babies like to watch cartoons while eating, and they become excited when they watch them. They just stare at the TV without eating.In this way, it will not only prolong the eating time, but also make children resist food because of excitement.

Some parents intentionally or unintentionally teach their children while eating. Over time, every time the child eats, he will have a psychological shadow. He will associate eating with being punished. Have a good meal"?
The final word: Irregular eating habits are the root cause of babies not "eating well". If you want your baby to eat on time, the best way is to develop good eating habits and eat less snacks.

If you insist on breastfeeding during this period, it can greatly improve the baby's immunity and reduce the risk of obesity. risk of illness to the child.Clinical studies have shown that breastfeeding can effectively reduce the risk of children suffering from asthma, allergies, and leukemia.

But can breast milk improve a child's IQ?There is currently no reliable research on this issue.Although a doctor in the UK believes that breast milk contains unsaturated fatty acids that cannot be provided by any milk powder, and believes that there is a link between breastfeeding and children's cognitive ability, his experiments are not enough to prove his judgment.

Dr. and his research team conducted a survey and analysis of more than 1 twins and found that only breastfed girls showed higher IQ than their peers at the age of two, but this phenomenon has little effect and is not It is universal.

A child's intelligence level is more clearly linked to their upbringing than breastfeeding.Breastfeeding can enhance the child's physical fitness, but it cannot affect the child's IQ.

The final word: Although breastfeeding can help the child's immune function to a certain extent, it does not have much impact on the child's intellectual development. Even if breastfeeding is not used, it will not cause any intellectual harm to the child.

*Is it better for babies to sleep on their backs or on their stomachs?
Practicality: ★★★★★

Newborn babies spend more than half of their time sleeping every day. How to sleep and what kind of posture is best for their children have become issues of great concern to many parents.Is it better for the baby to sleep on the stomach or on the back?
After the baby is born, he basically cannot take care of himself. It depends entirely on the care of the parents. The sleeping position is basically determined by the parents, so the child has to sleep. Therefore, it is really important to find the best sleeping position for the child. .

There are three common sleeping positions: sleeping on your back, sleeping on your stomach, and sleeping on your side.Adults generally choose to sleep on their backs or on their sides. Sleeping on their sides can reduce the pressure on the heart and make breathing easier.However, the brain of a newborn baby has not yet matured. If you sleep sideways in one direction for a long time, it may cause asymmetrical head development.Therefore, if parents choose to sleep on their side, they must turn the baby over in time.

Sleeping on the back is the position that many parents choose. Sleeping on the back can relax the internal organs and minimize the pressure on the baby's organs. Moreover, if you sleep like this, parents can easily observe the child's expression and understand the child's spirit in time state.

But sleeping on the back is very dangerous, that is, once the child spills milk, if no one helps the child to deal with the vomit in time, the child is likely to be choked or even suffocated, which is life-threatening.

Sleeping on the stomach is relatively better. First of all, this is the position that the child has always maintained in the mother's womb. For the child, this is their self-protection position.Moreover, babies who sleep on their stomachs feel more secure. Babies will instinctively want to grab something to seek a sense of security, but if they sleep on their backs, what the baby can grab is basically air. Unlike sleeping on their stomachs, babies can Grab the sheets.If milk spillage occurs, the bed sheet under the baby can also absorb part of the milk, so that the baby will not re-inhale the vomit and block the airway.

Furthermore, sleeping on the stomach helps the development of the child's head, neck and limbs, accelerates the development of muscle tension, and makes the baby have a more beautiful body shape.

However, when sleeping on the stomach, care should also be taken to prevent the baby's mouth and nose from being blocked, because babies who are too young do not have the ability to turn their heads and adjust their posture independently.

The final word: No matter what sleeping position is, there are advantages and disadvantages, but for newborn babies, sleeping on the stomach is obviously slightly better.

* Can a fever burn out a child?
Practicality: ★★★★★

The baby has poor immunity and often has a fever, and every time he has a fever, it is a high fever.If the baby has such a high fever, will it burn out the brain?
Everyone, whether it is an adult or a baby, everyone's body temperature is controlled by the brain. The temperature regulation center of the hypothalamus controls the body's body temperature through the regulation of the body's heat dissipation and heat production capabilities, so that the body temperature is always maintained at around 37°C .

But if the human body is invaded by germs, the human immune mechanism will immediately start, and white blood cells and lymphocytes, cells that can fight bacteria, will start to play a role in resisting the invasion of the disease.Fever is also a manifestation of the body's automatic defense mechanism to fight against viruses.The temperature regulation center of the hypothalamus raises the temperature control level of the human body, and people will have a fever.A fever is not a sign to be feared, but rather a way for the body to defend itself.

The child's hypothalamic thermoregulatory center may not be fully developed. When the virus invades, the thermoregulatory center regulates the temperature level and over-regulates, and the child will have symptoms such as high fever.

Fever does not bring any major harm to the body. People's heat tolerance is still very high. Even if it is a high fever, children can still bear the heat.

The illness that causes the fever is what parents should really worry about.From small colds to large pneumonia and encephalitis, these diseases can cause fever.When parents find that their children have a fever, they should not blindly seek to reduce the fever, but should seek the help of a doctor to find the root cause of the fever in time.If the cause of the fever is encephalitis, the child's brain may be injured even if the fever reaches 38°C.If it's just a cold, even if the fever reaches 41°C, the child can withstand that temperature without burning out the brain.

Fever is a protective measure of the human body. Fever itself will not affect the child, let alone "burn out the brain".The focus is on the cause of the fever, which may cause the child to "brain out".

The final word: A child's fever proves that his body is actively fighting against the virus. Finding the cause is the best way to deal with the fever. High fever caused by brain inflammation may burn the child's brain.

After the baby is born, a layer of gauze will be wrapped on the stomach to protect the baby's navel.How important is the belly button to a newborn baby?
Before the baby is born, it relies on the umbilical cord to maintain "connection" with the mother, and absorbs the necessary nutrients for growth from the mother through the umbilical cord.

But the umbilical cord does not heal immediately after it is cut, so before the umbilical cord heals, protecting the navel has become the top priority of parents, because the navel is one of the channels connecting the inside of the baby's body to the outside before it closes.Babies have poor immunity. If you are not careful, the navel may be infected. Bacteria enter the baby's body from the navel, causing the baby to suffer from omphalitis, umbilical hernia and other diseases.

After the umbilical cord is cut, the section of the umbilical cord will take about half a month to heal. During the period of section healing, the wound will be the best place for bacteria to breed, so parents must keep the section dry and do not let the umbilical cord Get wet.If you find that the baby's navel is soaked in urine or sweat, be sure to carefully wipe the liquid with a cotton swab.

Another point is that parents may think that talcum powder can absorb liquid and it is a good choice to spread it on the navel, but this practice is absolutely not advisable.Powdery objects such as talcum powder will isolate the navel from the air, slow down the healing of the wound, and even cause inflammation.

The baby's navel is very important, especially during the period when the umbilical cord has just been cut and the wound has not healed, parents must take good care of it to prevent the baby from being infected.

The final word: The navel is a natural channel connecting the inside of the child's body with the outside environment. If bacteria breed and multiply here, it is easy to invade the child's body and pose certain hazards to the child's health.
