Writer: Easter Egg Dad
Easter egg dad chattered: To be honest, it is really easy to watch other people's children grow up! But when it is the turn of their own children, they find that it is so difficult to bring children? As a novice parent, the main one: I don't understand this, and I won't, and then I understand that raising a child is a new track.
For example, when you are pregnant, you are worried about whether the baby is developing well or not in the belly.
Many children are often prone to illness in kindergarten, and mothers feel very guilty, thinking that the child did not develop well when she was pregnant.
In fact, this is not the case, it is normal for preschool children to have a less developed body and lower resistance than adults.
If novice parents must know whether the baby is doing well in the mother's womb, then just look at these characteristics of the baby when he is born.
The baby has these characteristics just after birth, which means that the mother's womb is very nourishing, and the novice parents are secretly happy
Feature 1: Loud crying and even breathing
When watching a TV series, if a woman gives birth to a child, accompanied by a loud cry, then it means that the child is very energetic.
On the contrary, if the child cries like a cat, then the child is in danger, and even if he survives, he is a sick seedling, which is difficult to raise.
If there is no crying, then it means that the child is useless.
In fact, the same is true in real life, there is a loud cry in the delivery room, which means that the child has come safely.
After birth, the baby's crying voice is loud and the breathing is even, which can mean that the baby has no amniotic fluid in the mouth and has been able to breathe spontaneously, indicating that various physiological indicators are normal, and the lungs are developing better when the mother is in the womb.
Feature 2: Moderate weight, not super light or overweight
After the baby is born, he will be weighed, and when he is not born, the doctor will also evaluate the baby's weight through technical examinations.
Because for babies, weight is a matter of development.
According to the infant weight standard provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), the normal ideal weight of a newborn is within 5-8 pounds. Less than 5 pounds, it is a low weight, which is equal to more than 8 pounds, which is huge.
From the perspective of nursing development:
If the child is less than 5 pounds, and the baby is too small and too thin, it means that the mother's pregnant belly has not yet developed perfectly, and the baby is basically in a state of malnutrition.
At this time, the baby will be relatively difficult to care for, and even have to live in an incubator.
For macrosomia, pregnant mothers are more likely to have accidents during childbirth, such as the pelvis is too small to give birth, and the fetus cannot be born for a long time, resulting in hypoxia.
These risks are a threat to the fetus and the pregnant mother, and will naturally affect the post-care.
A moderately weighted child is a child who absorbs more nutrients during the fetal period. This nutrient is not only used for physical development, but also for the development of the fetus's brain!
In terms of IQ development:
Dr. Marcos Richards of the United Kingdom followed 3,900 children born in 1946 and found a conclusion: the child is in the standard weight range (5-8 pounds), and the heavier the weight, the smarter the child will grow up!
For children with ultra-low weight, that is, children less than 5 pounds, it may affect IQ.
Many authoritative journals such as "Foreign Medical Rich Health Care Volume", "Chinese Journal of Child Health Care", "Journal of Education and Research" have shown that if a child is born with too low weight, then his IQ score will be lower.
In fact, this is a kind of intrauterine stunting, the critical period of brain development of the baby in the mother's womb, because the stunting does not develop well, which naturally affects the IQ. These are things that cannot be made up after the baby is born.
Feature 3: The skin is ruddy and fleshy, with few stains
If anyone says: this newborn is so good-looking!
Either it's a compliment, or this kid is really good-looking!
Because newborn babies, the skin tone does not look very even, some parts are ruddy, some parts are blue, and there may be a layer of white oil on the skin.
So, sometimes newborns are not necessarily good-looking.
The reason why newborns have a bluish skin tone is because the blood vessels in these places are more sensitive to temperature and will retract when exposed to cold air. Under normal circumstances, parents help their children to move, and they will be rosy.
However, if the baby is born with ruddy skin, flesh, and few stains, then it also means that the baby has developed well during the fetal period, the body's temperature regulation ability is better, and the body can keep warm by itself, which is better to bring!
Feature 4: Small mouth and small hands are powerful
Small mouth sucking and small hands clenching tightly, this is actually a reflex behavior after the baby is born, not deliberate.
But because of these reflex behaviors, it means that the baby develops better in the fetal period, so these reflexes will only occur after birth.
The sucking reflex is very important for the baby, because the baby will use this instinctive response to feed, which is the foraging response.
You know, this coordinated and rhythmic sucking, breathing, and swallowing are quite complex tasks for newborns.
It's just that if the foraging response is not very good, or the baby's feeding is not very smooth, then parents don't need to worry too much, let the baby practice more!
The small hand strength also means that the baby's nervous system is developing better and is in a very healthy state.
If the adult grasps the baby's small hand, the adult can even lift the baby with this force.
But this kind of experiment can't be done lightly, because the baby doesn't know when he may let go.
Feature 5: The limbs are coordinated and energetic, and the head has a slight support
The coordination of the baby's limbs is also an important basis for judging whether it is moisturized in the pregnant belly.
When the baby is born, the limbs can move freely, then the muscle tone is normal, in the fetal period, the baby's nervous system, muscular system, brain, etc., have been fully developed and exercised.
These abilities also lay a very solid foundation for children's future gross movements, motor ability, and intellectual development.
Written at the end of the article
Of course, these are only some of the criteria for judging.
After the baby is born, there are many aspects that need to be worried and taken care of by new parents.
For example, feeding after birth, weight gain;
For example, how to deal with the baby's crying;
For example, how to hold it correctly so as not to affect development, etc.
The road of parenting is still very long, and we have to walk carefully and patiently every step in order to give the baby a better growth!
Of course, parents don't need to be too anxious, basically there are problems to solve the problem, it's fine! Now the Internet is very developed, and if you don't know how to check the Internet, you can know the general answer! If you don't worry, there are doctors!
