Of course, not knowing something is quite normal. Especially when it comes to raising and caring for a newborn.
Leave soft toys in the children's room
Everything is very simple here. When a child is still very young, he cannot control his movements in sleep or move away from an object if it closes his nose and interferes with breathing. And the stuffed toys you leave in the decor room can pose a high risk of danger. The fact is that in this way the baby can suffocate if he moves too close to the plush toy.
Swaddling feet
In general, swaddling is necessary so that the baby feels comfortable after birth. Indeed, in the womb, the baby is accustomed to such sensations of warmth and crampedness. In addition, newborns have the so-called Moro reflex (involuntary throwing of hands), which can wake him up in his sleep. Therefore, pediatricians advise to swaddle only hands and leave legs free. You should also not wrap up the baby while awake.Roll a sleeping child in a stroller
On the streets, everyone is used to seeing mom with a stroller. Most often, they go for a walk to give the child the opportunity to sleep in the fresh air and not miss the chance to walk themselves. But in fact, rolling a sleeping child does not do anything good for his health. If sleep occurs during movement, then the body turns on the vestibular apparatus and its brain does not rest. Try to teach your baby to sleep in his crib or stroller, which is motionless, from the first days.
