Alas, not all of us are lucky enough to have a mother or a "mother in law" (ie, in-law), having advanced knowledge about child care. Most often, our moms "armed" methods of the last century, they rapidly and propagate. Although the correctness of these methods have long been refuted by experts, mothers defend their case under the slogan: "You also have grown here and grandchildren on foot lift!"
Editorial kolobok.ua collected "collection" my grandmother would-be tips to follow which means - to harm themselves and the baby.
1. NOT CHILD OFTEN worn on the hands - on their heads sit
In the first month of a newborn baby feels... part of my mother's body. Yes, yes, it is part of a continuation of my mother, so I just need to contact with the mother's body. Crumbs for normal development to feel my mother's smell, hear her voice and the beating of the heart, so the wise moms are using contact "skin-to-skin" and children are naked, zakutyvaya in your bathrobe.
2. KID TO TIGHT swaddled TO LEGS WERE EXACTLY
Now I do not swaddle made because of tight pulling the legs in children occurs hip dysplasia. Swaddling helps to "calm down" the handle of the crumbs which he prevents himself to sleep, while the legs are practically free.
3. DO NOT put your baby next to you - you can accidentally hurt him
Mom, if she just does not take alcohol or sleeping pills, sleep is so sensitive that wakes up, even if the crumbs, sniffing around, changed the rhythm of breathing. It goes without saying that my mother would feel if the baby zakryahtit or cry at the slightest discomfort. As an option - just move up a crib close to your bed and take off the side rim: so you can feed your baby at night even in a dream.
4. Pampers harm to children
Indeed, disposable diapers may harm the baby if it is wet or dirty "diaper" for more than 2 hours. And there potnichka and swaddled babies, if the room temperature regime is broken, or the baby is too wrapped up for a walk.
5. TO breastfeed every 3 HOURS, OTHERWISE milk is not digested
Rule 3-hour interval by our grandmothers suffer from their time when most mothers were fed an artificial mixture of children, rather than feeding. Kids-bottle-feed should really once in 3:00, but the babies are fed on demand. At least every hour or even more frequently. If a pipsqueak hungry and wants to attach to the breast - groans, looking mouth, then milk is already digested and tummy wants a new portion of my mother's nectar.
6. You need to wash your breasts with soap and water before each feeding
Alkaline the soap dries delicate skin of the breasts and nipples, which in turn provokes cracks. This is the first thing. And secondly, the nature so wisely figured out that after each feeding nipple is covered by some sort of protective plenochkoj, therefore, does not require rinsing. Mom enough 1-2 times a day to take a shower - these hygienic measures is enough.
7. WATER BATH MUST BE MUCH WARMER - colds CHILD!
Tiny hot water is very uncomfortable, so many of the baby, taking the first water treatment under the guidance of the newly-grandmother, come cry. The water in the bath should be 36-37 degrees, and check whether the water lapped well, were able to further our wise great-grandmother - the elbow lowered into the water. If skin temperature is not felt, then Vodicka ideal.
8. In the first months of life showed no one the crumbs - jinx
Led the crowd of relatives and friends and to the newborn, however, there is no benefit. However, not because of the evil eye, but because of "prospects" to put in the house of viruses and germs from the street.
9. From the evil eye licks his forehead CHILD BEFORE EACH leaving home
What's that - some grandmothers give such "antisglazovy" advice every time after the baby looked at strangers, wipe the baby forehead... the flip side of her panties. Cute mommy, do not do it, please! At least one of those reasons, that "there" may be an infection.
10. The child turns sour Glazkov? Rinse them with breast milk
If the eyes turn sour, it is a signal that the crumbs dacryocystitis (occlude tear ducts) or conjunctivitis, and can, and allergies to something. Breast milk can only exacerbate the problem, so it is better to consult a pediatrician with the crumbs.
11. NOT KISSING small child in the sponge - LONG WILL NOT SPEAK
Kiss on the lips baby really is not necessary, because the mouth of the adult mass of microbes. Better smacking rosy cheeks, forehead, soft belly, plump ass and sweet baby round heels. A baby starts to say when will this "step" is ready. Some babies mouth is not closed already one and a half years, while others are starting to chatter only three or even later. Each child is different and unique.
12. A YEAR BABY NEED mow bare - THEN BE thick hairs
I follow this advice many mothers today, but then they themselves state: although running baby bald, thick hair at the kids did not. Hair Structure - genetic characteristics, and no clipping it does not change. Like eye color or shape of the nails.
13. The baby in the crib NEED CUSHION
Absolutely superfluous thing in the crib. It prevents normal development cervical vertebrae, and may be dangerous, because the crumbs that are poorly rolls over and is not sitting, may come to rest on the pillow and suffocate.
P.S. This is not a complete list of tips grandmother's absurd that we with a deep respect for their mothers-in-law should not apply. Let's try to argue their case, and in any case to do so, so as not to hurt yourself and your beloved baby.
